'Fresh off the farm': Candice Swanepoel seen with brown hair and youthful look in Polaroid from her early modelling days
|
She sets pulses racing in glamorous bikini shoots around the world.
But Candice Swanepoel was once just a small town girl with a big dream.
The Victoria's Secret stunner looked young and fresh-faced in one of her first Polaroids from when she first arrived in London from a rural village in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.

Long way from home: The 24-year-old hailed from a small town called Mooi River in South Africa before making it big as a Victoria's Secret Angel
The 24-year-old uploaded the picture to her Instagram account, with the caption:
'#throwback my first Polaroids taken in London. Fresh off the farm. #natural #innocence'
The supermodel is shown staring directly at the camera, her straightened highlighted brunette hair falling over her shoulders.
The South African beauty is wearing a simple blue-and-white striped long-sleeved top and a canary-yellow emerald ring on her left middle finger.
Her famous pout and searing blue eyes are on display, and it's clear even here that she was destined for modeling stardom.
The beauty started modelling for Victoria's Secret in 2007, and in 2010 became a Victoria's Secret Angel.
The blonde beauty's glamorous life as an Angel is a far cry from her humble beginnings.
Candice was born and raised in a small town called Mooi River in KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa.

She's an Angel: The blonde was ranked on the Forbes' List as one of the top 10 highest earning models of last year
The model was spotted by a scout in a Durban flea market at age 15 and has clearly not looked back.
The South African stunner has graced the covers of Vogue, Elle, GQ and Harper's Bazaar, and was named the cover model for Victoria's Secret Swim Catalogue earlier this year.
Candice made her debut at No. 10 on Forbes' World's Top-Earning Models list last year, with estimated earnings of $3 million between 2010 and 2011.
