The Star Late Edition

It’s back to basics when all else fails

-

NEW YORK: Candice Swanepoel was certainly feeling a bit nostalgic as she posted flashback snaps to her Instagram of a previous era in her modelling career on Friday.

The 25-year-old shared a photo collage of her once luxuriousl­y long locks that fell nearly past her waist.

She hashtagged the bikini snaps, from when she was only 18, “#longhairdo­ntcare”.

The caption read: “#fbf #flashback #longhairdo­ntcare #polaroids – 18 years old in New York.”

In three of the shots, her locks almost touch her derriere while another shot has it pulled back in a tight bun.

Even at 18, the Victoria’s Secret Angel certainly had a way with the camera as she stared directly into the lens.

Swanepoel appeared last month at the lingerie brand’s Bond Street store alongside marketing director Ed Razek, where they announced the 2014 Victoria Secret fashion show will cross the pond from its previous home in New York to London on December 2.

Swanepoel will take to the runway in what promises to be a spectacula­r show in front of a crowd of 2 500 in the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London.

She will likely be joined by other Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Aldridge as well as Cara Delevengne, who has walked in the show for the past two years.

Featuring musical performanc­es, pink carpet interviews, model profiles and a behindthe-scenes look at the making of the world’s most celebrated fashion show, the 2013 broadcast on December 10 was the night’s most viewed show.

Swanepoel recently revealed that she loves to get away from it all at every opportunit­y, and told Vogue: “Day to day is difficult; it’s more about getting away. Every couple of weeks, whenever I get time, I’ll go to Africa or Brazil and find myself again.”

Adding to really get away from it all, the stunning model liked to take herself back to basics. – Daily Mail
