Jasmine Tookes, 32, and Josephine Skriver, 30, graced Victoria’s Secret catalogs for years — but even they could not recognize themselves at times while looking at their own images. The two models recently opened up on the Real Pod podcast about their experiences as Victoria’s Secret Angels, delving into the reality of the industry and social media’s role in authenticating the fantasy.
When asked if they understood their impact on other women and society in the moment, Skriver replied, “It was a weird time because you realize you were getting a massive amount of eyes looking at you. You understood that with VS.” “But we got signed right when social media exploded too, so it was this combination of everyone’s gonna know you for this glamorous side, like it takes two and a half hours in hair and makeup, personal trainers, this whole situation.
Yet you now have the ability of taking them behind the scenes and showing them the more real you,” she added.Skriver, who hails from Denmark, noted that it felt like people became obsessed with them and every detail of their lives overnight due to social media. “Like they wanted to know what kind of toothpaste I used and I was like, ‘Really? That just seems boring,'” she recalled.
She said she wanted to show on social media how much time and effort went into maintaining her figure and being a model, even as the public assumed it was all so effortless. Tookes admitted that she still sees Instagram comments “every day” from fans claiming that she’s “always so put together” and “so perfect,” but emphasizes that Instagram is just one version of herself.
