Attend a Victoria's Secret Casting

　　参与维密超模选拔

　　Before each fashion show, the lingerie mega-brand holds a casting session for runway superstars. Invited aspiring catwalkers and current Victoria’s Secret models (yes, even the contracted girls have to prove themselves each season!) show off their personalities and toned bodies in front of Victoria’s Secret’s executive producers, casting director, and creative director.

　　每次内衣秀前，这个内衣巨头就会举办走台超模选拔。邀请有野心的模特或是维密现有的模特(是的，即使是签约模特也要在每一季证明自己的实力!)向维密执行生产商，内衣秀导演以及创意执导展示自己的个性与好身材。

　　And while being cast doesn’t automatically make you an Angel (nearly 50 models strut their stuff in the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but only a few are classified as Angels), it is a major step in the right direction. Just look at Taylor Hill, Stella Maxwell, Sara Sampalo, Elsa Hosk, and Lily Aldridge. These lovely ladies all appeared in one or more Victoria’s Secret fashion shows before being made official Angels.

　　然而被维密选中并不意味着你就成为了天使超模(一场内衣秀有近50个模特走台，然而只有很少一些模特会被授予天使超模称号)，这只能说明你上了维密内衣秀的台。看看泰勒·希尔，斯黛拉·麦斯威尔，莎拉·桑帕洛，艾尔莎·霍斯克和莉莉·奥尔德里奇，这些可爱的美女都是参加了一次或多次维密内衣秀后才正式成为天使超模的。

　　Outperform Hundreds of Hopefuls

　　拥有百里挑一的胜算

　　That’s right—perform. Victoria’s Secret Angels do much more than make lingerie look fantastic. They’re brand ambassadors for the company, which means they’re media-savvy celebrities who have to work their personalities just as much as their bodies. They have to be spunky, approachable, relatable (a lot of Angels are mothers), and responsible (their contracts are rumored to have a morality clause, which means there’s zero tolerance for all-night antics and showing up late). What’s more, they have to document their healthy and active lifestyles on social media. If you want to make it through the first casting, you need to bring your A-game.

　　对了——就是要把走秀当作表演。维密天使做到的不只是让内衣看起来更美。她们是公司的品牌形象大使，也就是说她们是媒体所知的名人，不仅需要展示身材，也要展示性格。她们需要勇敢，平易近人和亲切(很多天使超模已是人母了)，以及有责任心(模特合约上被传有一条是道德条约，内容是对夜晚活动的滑稽不雅举动以及迟到的零容忍态度)。另外，她们要将自己健康而有活力的生活方式上传社交网络。如果你想过初试，那么就要做到全满分。
