Victoria's Secret has strict requirements for its models, so much so that the brand often comes under fire for its failure to cast models with a variety of body types.
The models who get cast in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show say they abide by strict diets and exercise routines ahead of stepping onto the runway. Some cut back on carbs and rely on juice cleanses, though it should be noted that methods like these are not always healthy.
Here's what 9 Victoria's Secret models eat to prepare for the big day.
Kendall Jenner keeps things pretty simple before a show.
Jenner seems to allow herself some sugary treats before a big show.
"I know some people ask for super crazy things backstage, but that's not my style — I'm pretty easy! I have low blood sugar, so I definitely need things to keep me going (aka lots of food!)," she wrote on her past website per Yahoo News.
"Here's what will forever and always make my list: Twix, Justin's Peanut Butter, chips and guac, and hummus and carrots. See, pretty simple — just feed me and I'm ready to go!" she penned.
Stella Maxwell sticks to protein and greens.
Model Stella Maxwell said she takes everything in moderation.
She detailed her daily intake in an interview with Byrdie, saying, " For breakfast, I like scrambled eggs, avocado, oatmeal — I really love oatmeal — or granola and yogurt. Lunch would be a piece of fish like salmon and then maybe some salad on the side — today we had chicken and salad. And then dinner, probably the same thing — a protein and a green."
Maxwell went on to discuss the importance of knowing what works best for each individual body saying, "I don't think it's good to cut anything out 100% or go on some crazy diet. I've never really believed in that, and I think your body will respond well if you make it happy in a moderate way — kind of like portion control."
Elsa Hosk likes green smoothies ahead of a fashion show.
Angel Elsa Hosk, who modeled this year's Fantasy Bra, shared her food diary with StyleCaster ahead of the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Her daily intake has an emphasis on eating meals that will hold her until the next, as she doesn't allow for snacking.
Before a fashion show, she revealed that she opts for green smoothies.
