"I'm going to eat a lot of food because I definitely changed my diet, not eating as much as I do as an athlete," Reese told USA TODAY backstage.

"To be honest, I still get very nervous before a show, especially when it's Victoria's Secret," Palvin revealed, her hair sectioned off as a stylist blow-dried madly.

Adriana Lima, the longest-running angel in the brand's history, projected calm as she waited for the makeup artist to prep her skin."A few minutes before the show, I like to meditate, I like to use my essential oil," she said.

Iris Law, the 24-year-old daughter of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost, opted for Drake instead.

Barbie Ferreira planned to lean on rituals like affirmations from her stage performances to get her show-ready. She was also not afraid to phone a friend."Making sure that if I'm freaking out, I'm talking to people that I love," she said, is key.
