The recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held on October 18 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, brought together world-famous models.

Top stars like Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Alex Consani, Candice Swanepoel, Precious Lee, and Anok Yai walked the ramp. Beyond the glamorous outfits and stage setups, public interest remains high on their lifestyles and dietary habits. People often wonder what these models eat and how they maintain their physique. However, there is no single "Victoria's Secret diet" that suits everyone.

Models have shared at various times that they choose foods based on personal needs, body requirements, and workout routines. Their meals include protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, alongside favorite comfort foods. Some emphasize moderation and balance in their daily routine.

Barbara Palvin: Focus on organic food

Model Barbara Palvin made headlines by returning to the Victoria's Secret runway just six weeks after giving birth. In an interview with Page Six, she shared that she focused heavily on organic foods during pregnancy for her baby's health.

Barbara stated that she ate mostly organic foods while expecting. Even after childbirth, while breastfeeding, she prioritized nutritious meals. She allowed her body time to recover naturally and engaged in light workouts without overexerting herself.

In a 2019 interview with Hollywood Life, she shared her daily routine. Barbara usually cooks her own meals. Her breakfast features overnight oats. For lunch, she eats baked chicken with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or sweet potato puree. She loves pairing meat or fish with vegetables.

Barbara usually keeps her dinner light. However, she joked that on some nights, she enjoys a jar of ice cream for dinner.

Stella Maxwell: Moderation, not strict rules

Model Stella Maxwell does not believe in strict dietary restrictions. In a 2023 interview with Byrdie, she said she does not think cutting out food completely or following a harsh diet is a good idea. Instead, she emphasizes eating in moderation.

Stella's breakfast includes fried eggs, avocado, oatmeal, granola, and yogurt. For lunch, she prefers fish like salmon with a salad. Dinners usually feature protein-rich foods and vegetables. When hungry, she also snacks on nuts and dried peas.

Josephine Skriver: Healthy living over temporary diets

Model Josephine Skriver also prioritizes a healthy lifestyle over strict rules. In 2023, she told Byrdie that she believes in building long-term healthy habits rather than following temporary diets for quick results.

Josephine follows the 80/20 rule in her diet. This means she eats nutritious foods most of the time while allowing space for her favorite treats occasionally. She believes maintaining moderation without imposing excessive restrictions on food is much more effective.

To fuel her workouts, Josephine eats protein, vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates. Brown rice and sweet potatoes are among her favorites. Her breakfast often includes fried eggs, spinach, and brown rice. As light snacks, she eats fruits, carrots, nuts, and protein bars.

Josephine believes there is no need to cut out any single food group completely. Instead, maintaining moderation helps sustain long-term healthy habits.

Kylie Jenner: Bone broth, sushi, and burgers

Kylie Jenner is not a regular Victoria's Secret "Angel." However, she made her debut on the brand's ramp at the fashion show, catching attention in a Fantasy Bra reportedly valued at around $50 million.

In a 2020 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Kylie discussed her eating habits. Her day starts with bone broth infused with lavender and lemon, or fresh celery juice. For a caffeinated drink, she enjoys a vanilla iced latte made with oat milk.

Kylie shared that because her daughter Stormi has a nut allergy, nut products are kept out of their home. Her lunches include chicken and vegetables, tacos, steak burritos, rice, or enchiladas. She also enjoys healthy salads, wheat bread sandwiches, and peach tea.

When traveling, Kylie prefers lemon chicken, white rice, vegetables, and kale salad with jalapeños and croutons.

Aside from healthy choices, Kylie also enjoys comfort foods. Her favorites include In-N-Out burgers. During pregnancy, she craved this burger at least once a week, usually ordering a double cheeseburger with grilled onions, french fries, and a Coke.

Kylie describes herself as a foodie. Her preferred snacks include barbecue-flavored Lay's chips and chili cheese Fritos. She also enjoys pomegranate seeds, miso soup, bone broth, and sushi, with a particular fondness for sashimi.

To avoid late-night snacking, Kylie keeps pre-cut apples by her bed. She told Harper's Bazaar that laziness prevents her from walking to the kitchen at night, making the bedside apples an easy alternative.

Balance over strict diets

Although Victoria's Secret models have different dietary habits, their experiences highlight one clear message: no single diet works for everyone. Some prioritize organic food, others focus on moderation, and some ensure proper nutrition for workouts.

Their experiences show the importance of balancing nutritious foods, moderation, and individual body needs without completely cutting out favorite dishes. However, these personal diets may not suit everyone. The key is eating balanced meals according to individual needs and listening to one's body.
