She is a known fashionista.
And Lily Aldridge proved it once again when she was glimpsed out and about in New York City this Wednesday.
The 34-year-old former Victoria’s Secret Angel was equestrian chic in a pair of jodhpurs-esque white trousers and walnut brown leather knee-high boots.
Not to be mistaken for actual riding boots, Lily’s footwear featured high heels to lend the 5foot9 supermodel a bit of extra stature.
Sweeping her dark hair back, the Santa Monica-born clotheshorse accentuated her screen siren features with heavy makeup.
Lily slipped into a slightly sheer clinging black top and rounded off the look by throwing a coat casually over her shoulders.
That day she swung by People Now and reflected on her time as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, a тιтle she gave up last September.
She fondly recalled ‘You know, the whole experience with all my friends that I’ve created through, you know, being the Angels.’
Name-checking fellow Angels Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel, she said: ‘And I mean, I still talk to Behati and Candice everyday. We’re like sisters for life.’
She went on: ‘So I think, you know, just the relationships I made and the friendships I made will something – it’s something I’ll have forever.’
Lily heaped praise on Rihanna’s brand, saying: ‘Fenty is like killing it. Her show was amazing, and I love everything about her, and her message is beautiful.’
She dished that ‘you know, as soon as it went on sale, I was like, on Fenty.com, like: “I’ll take one of everything!”‘
Lily also gushed that it was ‘beautiful’ that Rihanna adopted a body-positive and diverse approach to selecting models.
‘Everybody’s beautiful. We’re all different. We all have, you know, something to deliver and we should all feel and look beautiful, and, you know, I think it’s a beautiful message,’ Lily shared on the chat show.
Her remarks come after it emerged that this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been scrapped after tanking ratings and public controversy.
Victoria’s Secret marketing officer Ed Razek apologized last year for telling Vogue that trans and plus-size models were not a fit for the company’s shows.
This September Les Wexner, CEO of Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands, said he was ’embarrᴀssed’ about his business ᴀssociation with Jeffrey Epstein.
‘We are all betrayed by friends. At the end the day, people have secret lives because…they’re so good at hiding those secrets,’ said Les, who has claimed that north of $46 million of his money was misappropriated by the late pedophile.
Les told investors the ᴀssociation ended in 2007, the year after the Sєx trafficker’s case was brought to a grand jury in Florida, according to CNBC.
