What size are Victoria's Secret models?
Asked by anonymous on Sep 22, 2008 in Eating Disorders



I just want to know how much the models weigh because I love Victoria's Secret, and I know if I fight for it, I can be somewhere near what they are on average. I'm only 5'3", so I'll never look exactly like them because they're like 5'9 and over, but I'd at least like to attempt to have the same body shape. I know it's listed somewhere but I can't find it.


Answer

Victoria's Secret models are genetically blessed with a particular body type.  Most are a size 2, although quite tall, with a 34”- 36” bust, 23” waist, and 34”-35” hips.  In addition, the models spend long hours exercising and dieting to stay toned.  At 5’11” and 130 lbs (BMI 18), the Victoria's Secret model, Karolina Kurkova, was blasted for having back fat, saddle bags and cellulite.   Most models are actually very skinny indeed, and without heavy make-up or Photo-shopping, they don't look nearly as good in the flesh as they do in pictures.
