What's her Secret? Lily Aldridge is positively Angelic as she shows off her washboard abs on stunning St Barts bikini shoot for Victoria's Secret

She has to balance her career as a jet-setting model with the needs of her Kings of Leon rocker husband Caleb Followill, and being a mother to her 11-month-old daughter Dixie.
And women with the world over will no doubt now be wondering exactly what the secret to Lily Aldridge's success is after she showed off her positively jaw-dropping figure in an endless bikini shoot for Victoria's Secret on Friday.
Hello, Lily! Victoria's Secret model Lily Aldridge sizzles in a leopard print bikini on the shores of St Barts on Friday
Taking to the white sands of picturesque St Barts, the 27-year-old model looked absolutely incredible as she flaunted her envy-inducing washboard abs in a skimpy animal print string bikini.
Displaying not even the merest hint of a 'mum tum,' the brunette beauty seemed to be in her element as she posed up a storm for the cameras.
Opting for the beach babe look when it came to her locks, Lily showed off her natural beauty and flawless skin by wearing minimal make-up, and accessorised with just a simple pendant.

Throwing back her tumbling ombre waves as she let the ocean breeze rip through her hair, the stunning model seemed to be enjoying herself as the photographer snapped away.
And she couldn't help but show off her good fortune as she enjoyed the working vacation, posting a sunbathing snap on her Instagram to her over 200,000 followers.
'Sending love,' she wrote, clearly not missing being back in the cold spring weather in her hometown of Los Angeles.

Lily has previously spoken out about the importance of being ready for the annual Victoria's Secret catwalk show, admitting she fits in pilates and ballet while her baby daughter is napping.
She told Celebuzz last year: 'I've been training very hard to get my body to bounce back from the baby for the show.
'I've been in New York taking a lot of ballet classes at Ballet Beautiful and also doing a lot of pilates. I always want to be there when my daughter is awake, so I try to schedule my workouts around nap-time.

'I've been doing two-a-day workouts some days! It's a lot of work to get ready for the show, but I love it so it's worth it.
'I've been eating a lot of organic veggies and proteins. Especially leading up to the show you need to eat a very clean diet.'
Lily has been married to Kings Of Leon rocker Caleb Followill since 2011, and they welcomed Dixie Pearl into the world in June 2012.
