Paul, who has walked the runway for many high-profile designers, including Tom Ford and Stella McCartney, is the reigning Canadian supermodel of the year and the current face of makeup giant Maybelline.

She says appearing in the show will represent the pinnacle of her career to date.

“Victoria’s Secret show is the biggest fashion show in the world,” said Paul, originally from Tanzania. She said she is preparing for the event by doing dance cardio classes, pilates and “eating clean”.

“The main difference is that it’s on TV and millions of people tune in to watch it, and that every model in the world dreams of walking the show.”
