British Bombshell & ELLE UK



On the cover of the September issue of UK Elle, Rosie Huntington-Whitely models gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana floral pieces taken by David Vasiljevic.  First seeing the British bombshell on the cover of a Victoria's Secret Swim catalog was captivating, as I am sure is the same for many others.  In 2011, when Rosie replaced Megan Fox in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I immediately gained so much more admiration for this supermodel.  She is by far my favorite Victoria's Secret Angel because of her multiple talents in modeling and acting.
 Elle UK sources say the launch of her career seemed to give her some trouble, as they do to many others when first starting out.  However, Rosie eventually found her niche, modeling for Victoria's Secret in 2006, but remained unknown until 2008 when she signed with Burberry's Fall/Winter campaign.  She then hit the runways in Milan and Paris, the fashion capitals of the world, and became an official Victoria's Secret Angel in 2009, modeling at the highest anticipated fashion show in the world, The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.  Now, Miss Huntington-Whitely is one of the worlds most desired, leading supermodels.
Enjoy some highlights from Miss Huntington-Whiteley's interview below, but for more, be sure to pay a visit to ELLE UK and but the September issue, hitting stores now!
On her desire to have a family with her actor beau Jason Statham:
"I always see myself working, but definitely being a mum will be a big part of me. Look, I think my career is very self-indulgent. It’s all about me. I’m not a doctor, I’m not looking after people, I’m not saving children. I’m in the entertainment business. I’m a model. I’m an actress. So it is very self-involved. I think there is naturally a point where you think, ‘I don’t care about myself as number one any more.’ I want to care about other things."
On her struggles while trying to launch her career:
"I wasn’t quite tall enough either and I hated it to be honest. There was no individuality, no opportunity to be individuals. I think that people forget you’re human and you just become an object. In New York] I was constantly reminded that I wasn’t right wherever I went and that was difficult because I’d come from a place where it didn’t matter. For any young girl to be told they’re not good enough, every day, wherever they go..."
On how her struggles shaped who she is today:
"I don’t know, I just had this thing, that this was where I was going, this was the opportunity that life had presented me with. This was my destiny and I wasn’t going to just pack it all in because these people gave me a hard time - and that’s still my attitude now."
