I think so unfair credit her fame only because she's dating her with Caleb. That's help? Yes maybe a little
Everyone need to remember that she grew up in a family completely related to fashion, their sisters are actresses or models, his brother is a respected photographer. If she has the body type and talent to be a model that is more then normal that he make part of this. Who would refuse a chance like that?
She walking slowly and struggling to get where he is currently. I also prefer when she was more chameleon in the past, their poses were repetitive, but I think she has realized this and began trying different things.
She made important and also ordinary works, only a girl who really wants to be in this world accepts all types of work for one day can afford to choose campaigns.
There is a lot of musicians girls actors, and others who trying to be a model, but the lack of talent end up doing those girls made low-level jobs, I don't need give names because they are everywhere.
I think Lily was walking on the right way, making your contacts, knowing the right people who have opened some doors for her, even if she is the girlfriend of a rockstar she's a beautiful girl with a great body for the fashion industry and have been shooting very well. When using different poses and faces goes beyond expectations.
Many models had respect and popularity only after being an Angel. It's an honor for all of them, that's on each model face the importance of being part of the team, with it was no different on the night of the VS show, she was radiant and beautiful and could not hide the happiness of being there even though she was there for representing the pink line. If she is happy, and being successful why don't applaud.
Don't know why so much anger and criticism from some people who say like and admire her, just because she's grow up. If she's happy we need be happy for her and wish every day more luck. In the interview on the red carpet she proved that has not changed, many girls get far less, and become so arrogant, she was so kind and sweet. We all work to grow and gain ever more, so why she has to be doing mediocre catalogs if the doors are opening now?
We all change, if we take pictures of one or two years ago we laugh and feel so much better now, and we don't have half of the techniques that Lily has.
If was lucky coincidence or perfect timing for Caleb be recognized in states and the doors opening for her we can not say, I think it helped for both, and the cliche of a rockstar dating a pretty model will never end.
But it more or less then a year that they won the recognition deserved, and already make more than two years they dating. Before she also dated a band member who was also have recognition, and she did not use that to get more work, so because do it now? And why she needs to use Caleb if her brother is a photographer full of talent and the one of Vogue magazine, how many people she met in the industry during all these years. She also apear alot at the cobrasnake who made Cory (which I think looks like a dirty, ugly and has no beautiful body and zero talent, Cory K. even became famous because the cobrasnake site).
I think she deserves credit for getting where she are now, some small details maybe help, but don't make alot difference.
You can dating the coolest guy of the moment, but if you have no talent you will always be just the girlfriend, there are examples inside the band, ran behind some of the dreams and others just followed the boys on journeys across the world even if it cost him his independence of them . But while her boyfriend is part of the model Lily Aldridge, a name still recognized by few, but conquered by it.
I think she deserves credit for his achievements, a few small details can help but not make all difference.
You can dating the coolest guy of the moment, but without talent you will always be just 'the girlfriend'. We don't need go very far, at the KOL some girls realized their dreams, others just went out and played the role of girlfriend and accompanying them on trips around the world, even if it cost their independence. And even join with her boyfriend in many trips she is the model Lily Aldridge, a name still recognized by few, but the recognition has been achieved with hard work.
Btw thanks girls for answering my questions about the Avon

, here in Brazil Avon is sold by books illustrated with photos and price the products only for women with a license, you make the request in 20 days the order arrives at your house. But we have a strong brand with more quality called 'Natura', (no much difference for me, because I like yours american and european products

) which uses products from our Amazonia and the quality is better. It's more expensive, but everyone prefer.
