"The workout is really targeted and focuses a lot on toning, on elongating the muscles and on building this elegant but powerful form. The girls are training all year long, but leading up to the show we really intensify the training.

There's tons and tons of toning exercises, a lot of lunges and cardio work that's inspired ballet," Mary said.

Victoria's Secret Angel Lily Aldridge has revealed her husband Caleb Followill wouldn't be keen if their three-year-old daughter Dixie wanted to be a model.

Lily, who wore the $2 million Fantasy Bra for this year's show, insists she would be "proud" if Dixie Pearl chose to follow in her footsteps and join the fashion industry, reported People magazine.

"I'll support whatever she wants to do! I don't think my husband would want her anywhere near the runway. But I would be proud of her no matter what she does."

The 30-year-old model also opened up about the beliefs she tries to instil in her young daughter.

"I'd tell every girl or woman out there to believe in yourself and not let other people try to make you feel any different. Just believe in yourself and be confident."

Cindy Crawford will celebrate her 50th birthday next February and the supermodel says she is happy to age gracefully.

Crawford said she admires celebrities like Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda, who look amazing at their age and do not "try to look" young, reported People magazine.

"Women like Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda, they look amazing and they look appropriate. They look amazing but they're not trying to look 30. I don't want to be trying to compete with my 14-year-old daughter (Kaia Gerber) -- because I would lose!

"I always thought, 'When can I just let it all go?' It's just never. There is no age now! It was the aspect of embracing turning 50 and celebrating the past, but at the same time I am embracing where I am."

"@marvel and @jamesgunn don't be mad. I'm not showing anything that hasn't been seen before... Besides, aren't we designing new stuff? It pays off to work hard! I mean it mommies of the world, if I did it you can too," Saldana wrote.
