The last time lanchept the year was a Great milestone for Candice Swanepoel—the 13th time on the famous Victoria’s Secret runway. And her emotions are real. The supermodel poured out her heart via an exquisite post that made a lot of noise. The wattage of the event she mentioned as a reason for her being able to open her heart was the whole setup of lights, the music and backstage-sisterhood were the main points of the list. In addition, she mentioned the artists and the crew who “love, artistry, and devotion into every detail” as the ones who add the most to the list. The backstage magic is her blessing that she feels she is part of the madness.
Soon the comment section was full of love for the long-established Angel. One user articulated the general feeling very well with a comment: “Your energy, your aura, your presence and your otherworldly beauty makes you stand out — even on a stage filled with so much beauty. Forever an inspiration on so many levels.” And this is one thing about Candice—she has been going after it for more than ten years, yet she can still draw the audience as if it was her first time.
Another admirer saw her through the inner being to the outer beauty, “Candice is so beautiful inside and out, such a canonical beauty on the outside and such a rich soul, a rare combination.” This observation reveals what so many have found in Swanepoel through the ages—her professionalism and real kindness are at least as vibrant as her beauty.
The global love for Candice was apparent. A Brazilian follower felt so sorry that they wrote, “For me you are Brazilian without being born in Brazil … I felt so proud to see you walk that I keep rewinding your videos. I love you, Candy.” This started a little debate in the replies where people were talking about her being down to earth and her sincere smile, one saying, “She truly has good vibes and an honest smile, she is super nice, besides being stunning!” The discussion even touched on her personal life when someone said, “Her kids are Brazilian,” indicating how connected people feel to her from all angles.
On the other hand, not everyone was so subtle in their praises. One candid admirer stated, “You stole the whole show; all other girls were nice, but you are exquisite,” while another simply said, “So Perfection does exist.” The high level of excitement led to many comments in different languages, all saying the same thing—that Candice is still the one favorite among the fans.
Some comments were more specific, and still they were about her performance. “Baby, you WORKED that black number,” one of the comments said, and the show-stopping look was being praised with the describer as an impressed one. Another one emphasized, “You are soo, elegant always,” referring to her walking and the aura that made her the focus on the runway.
The timing of this fashion show does not only appear to be significant for the events of Victoria’s Secret as they are rebranding and going through show format changes, but having veterans like Candice is a bridge between the Iconic past and the reimagined future. Her mere presence is not only an indication of the brand’s recognition of her appeal across eras but also an indication of the supermodel’s steadfastness to the brand. Candice, at age 35 with two kids and a decade of Victoria’s Secret shows behind her, is the ultimate “supermodel mom”—the era of elegance, beauty and professionalism when, through time, only the best traits get amplified.
What is particularly heartening, however, is that Candice raised the experience herself, not merely as another job to do, but as a joint artistic creation. In her caption, she singled out the key creative members of the team, from stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele to makeup queen Pat McGrath, illustrating that she understands that this massive production is really a team effort. That combination of humility with her undeniable star power is most likely what keeps her in the good books of both the industry and the public.

As the fashion world still considers the last Victoria’s Secret show, one thing is certain—Candice Swanepoel’s connection to this iconic event is strong, and so is her bond with the staff’s artistry and labor still fresh. Her remark about it being “one of my favorites” implies that the magic is still there, even after thirteen shows, the enchantment has not dimmed at all. Her recent family escape to Kokomo Private Island shows another side of her life, while her stunning black lace photos continue to captivate fans. She also shared sunny vibes on a rainy day and serene water-themed moments from her island getaway.
