Like many people, I’ve always idolized Victoria’s Secret Angels. With their bombshell blowouts, couture crystal-studded wings, and luminous skin, they epitomize glitz, glamour, and strength. Seriously, how do they make strutting down a runway in stilettos and 50-pound wings look so graceful and effortless? To learn what an Angel’s regimen really entails, I caught up with veteran Victoria’s Secret Angel, supermodel, and mom Martha Hunt to chat all things wellness and beauty. And spoiler: You don’t have to be a runway model to copy her tips.
“My relationship with beauty and wellness evolved naturally through my career,” she tells me. “Since becoming a mother, I became more curious about what actually supports my energy, digestion, sleep, and overall balance, and not just what looks good on the outside.”
She notes that your wellness routine should be unique to you, but that having a sustainable routine and listening to your body is important for everyone. “I’ve learned that small, intentional habits add up far more than extremes, and that mindset has really shaped how I approach both beauty and self-care today.”
If you love Hunt’s POV as much as I do, keep reading to learn her backstage wellness tips and the beauty essentials she swears by.
What are the best wellness tips you learned backstage or on set?
The biggest lesson is preparation over perfection. Consistent hydration, nourishing your body, and resting properly matter far more than last-minute fixes. I also learned the importance of recovery. Long days and travel take a toll, so supporting your body with smart nutrition and gentle resets makes a noticeable difference, especially during busy seasons.
