Rosie Huntington Whiteley is not just a slender and incredibly beautiful girl, she is a professional model with whom many of the most influential brands want to collaborate. She persistently pursued her goal, and is now a leading Victoria's Secret angel, and in 2009, Rosie was awarded the status of “Model of the Year” according to one eminent magazine. Her English aristocratic appearance has always attracted a lot of attention, so it is not surprising that she has many fans in the form of fashion designers and famous editors of famous publications.
Early years and childhood
The green-eyed model was born on April 18, 1987 in the ancient town of Plymouth, in southwest England. Her father was a real estate appraiser, and her mother was a former famous fitness trainer, but after the birth of Rosie, and then her brother Toby and sister Florence, she decided to give up work and devote herself to raising and caring for her children.
It was my mother who instilled in the future model a love of sports and a healthy lifestyle in general.
After some time, the whole family moved to live in Tavicock. There the girl went to school, where many told her that she had a modeling future. However, Rosie herself refused to believe this; she did not consider herself a beauty and did not imagine herself walking down the catwalk. The girl dreamed of becoming a famous designer and opening her own fashion house.
Nutrition
I don’t get carried away about this - I never wanted to be that unhappy girl who picks lettuce leaves with a fork in a restaurant. At home I prefer simple, organic food. For breakfast there can be boiled eggs or scrambled eggs with spinach; for lunch - proteins (halibut, turkey, chicken) and lots and lots of vegetables, fresh or sautéed. But I can easily go with friends to Italian restaurant Madeo in Los Angeles and eat French fries (as long as I don't have a bikini shoot the next day). Of course, I try not to eat sweets, but I can’t live without bread and good pudding. Having the opportunity not to deny myself anything is very important for me; I can’t limit myself all the time - it’s so boring. My favorite places to eat in Los Angeles are E Baldi, Craig's, and Crossroads.
Carier start
Rosie Huntington Whiteley's modeling career began in 2003 while working part-time at a local modeling agency. Then the girl was already in college and decided to earn a little extra money, so she got a job as a manager at a local agency. Of course, they noticed her incredibly beautiful appearance, so soon she was already working there as a model.
Over the course of the year, she took various photos for various glossies and starred for local catalogues, but real success came to the model during New York Fashion Week in 2004. The beauty walked on the catwalk, presenting the most famous brands - Moschino and Kenzo.
It was thanks to this that in 2005 a photo of Rosie Huntington Whiteley could be found on the front page of Vogue magazine. After which her photo was also published in Elle Girl and Teen Vogue.
Skin care
I have several favorites. Firstly, Active Serum from IS Clinical, which has radically improved my skin and which I have been using for many years. My favorite cosmetologist Shani Darden has her own line of products, and in it –
fantastic cream with retinol Resurface Retinol Reform (I apply it every other day), which in record time copes with wrinkles, age spots and makes the skin glow.
Instead of a scrub, I use Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel from Dr. Dennis Gross. And, of course, protective cream with SPF 30 from Control Corrective. Taking this opportunity, I want to confess my love to my cosmetologist Shani Darden - she is a magician ( Shani’s regular clients are Jessica Alba and Chrissy Teigen - editor’s note
). You spend an hour with her and come out with new skin - we often do the LightStim LED Light Therapy hardware procedure. This combination of red, infrared and blue LED radiation, by the way, is ideal for combating acne.
Modeling career
Options:
- Height - 175 cm;
- Weight - 53 kg;
- Parameters - 84-60-88 cm.
Rosie herself could not believe such success. The most famous and influential brands in the fashion industry wanted to collaborate with her. The girl was confused by the number of offers that came to her. She collaborates with TopShop, posing for its advertising campaign, shoots for Bloomingdale's and Clinique department stores, and collaborates with:
- DKNY;
- Shiatzy Chen;
- Ralph Lauren.
In 2006, Rosie Huntington Whiteley made her debut on the catwalk for the famous Victoria's Secret brand. At that time, the beauty was not yet one of the angels, but she really strived for it. On the catwalk she performed with the best models of this brand, such as Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima. Another significant event in the girl’s life was her collaboration with Burberry. In 2008, she was offered to become the face of this brand and perform with the famous Sam Riley. In the same year, Rosie’s photo again appeared on the cover of Vogue (England), where the girl was not alone, but with two equally famous models.
In 2008, Rosie Huntington Whiteley was awarded the honor of becoming “One of the most stylish girls on the planet”, taking sixth place on this list.
!!!This year was not without scandals. Paparazzi photographed the model taking drugs at a social party, and almost immediately these photos appeared on the pages of famous magazines and newspapers. The girl did not panic and start scandals, but reacted to this incident calmly and adequately. The scandalous photos were soon forgotten, however, the girl is now out of sight of the annoying paparazzi.
2009 turned out to be no less eventful for the girl. Elle Style awarded Rosie Huntington Whiteley the prestigious Model of the Year award. After a while, a certain Agent Provocateur invited the model to star in his scandalous film, where she had to play the role of a girl whose boyfriend forgot about Valentine's Day. In the spring of the same year, the girl takes a couple of advertising photos for the famous brand Karen Millen. However, the most significant event happened in the fall of this year, when the beauty finally officially joined the ranks of Victoria's Secret Angels.
In 2010, Rosie Huntington Whiteley works for DT magazine. After that, the beauty worked with Vogue (England) on the exciting project “Today I’m wearing...”, in which stylists posted her daily fashion looks and accompanied them with small comments.
This spring, Rosie became the official face of the fashionable swimwear line from Monsoon. One of the most important and significant works in her entire modeling career was the photo book “Ten Times Rosie”, where the girl presents 10 different looks for ten different seasons. She worked on the book together with creative photographer Rankin and director of the Thomas Wylde brand, Paola Thomas.
Upon completion of work on the book, Rosie Huntington Whiteley was photographed for the famous glossy Beach Bunny and took several worthy photos for Victoria's Secret. At the moment, the last thing Rosie worked on was photo shoots for Self Magazine, the online magazine Violet Gray and Esquire.

Fitness
I'm a fitness freak! I love classes using the Body by Simone system (And the original classes from professional ballerina Simone de la Roux are a mix of dance, yoga and aerobics, as a result of which the body becomes strong and flexible - editor's note).
I imagine myself as Jane Fonda and rock out to Iggy Azalea (I love the track Fancy), Calvin Harris and Drake.
In Los Angeles I usually work out 4-5 days a week, in the mornings. I warm up by jumping on a trampoline or jumping rope. I also like Pilates and vinyasa flow yoga ( One of the types of hatha yoga, which involves a smooth transition from dynamic movements to static poses - and so on in a circle - editor's note).
If I’m in London, I work out with my brother Toby at the Bulgari Hotel fitness center in Knightsbridge, and if I’m in New York, with personal trainer Justin Gelband, who trains almost all the “angels”.
Personal life
Despite the fact that Rosie Huntington Whiteley is very amorous, she has several serious novels.
Since 2007, the model has been in an unofficial relationship with Tyrone Wood, but after 2 years the couple realized that their romance had exhausted itself, so they broke up in October 2009.
2After this, the girl was suspected of having an affair with actor Olivier Martinez, but it turned out to be a slight love affair.
3And already in April 2010, the model found true love. The beauty began dating Hollywood actor Jason Statham. They dated for almost 5 years and finally Jason proposed marriage to the beautiful Rosie. The wedding is planned for the summer of 2020.
Makeup*
Gone are the days when I could afford to leave the house without makeup, but I can’t say that I’m upset about this fact, because I love wearing makeup! This doesn't mean that I apply tons of products; on the contrary, I prefer translucent textures. On my lips I most often wear a balm - Burt's Bees or Baume de Rose from By Terry, less often - Lip Color from Tom Ford, shade Spanish Pink or Nubile, or Nars shade Dolce Vita. I first apply Laura Mercier primer to my face, then mix moisturizer with Illuminating Tinted shimmer particles from Laura Mercier with Perfection Lumière Velvet foundation from Laura Mercier and blend it into the skin using a beauty blender. I cover up all imperfections and dark circles under my eyes (yes, I have both) with Radiant Concealer from Laura Mercier. Then I use Laura Mercier's Color of Youth cream blush and Charlotte Tilbury's Wonderglow highlighter on my cheekbones. I seal the whole thing with Guerlain meteorites. On the eyes I use Babydoll mascara from YSL, and I highlight the eyebrows with Arch Brow pencil from Hourglass's.
Hair
It's funny that I started using Moroccanoil products several years before I became an official. My favorite product is The Signature Hair Oil, which I apply immediately after shower to wet hair for super shine. As for the stylist, I have been faithful to the Englishman George Northwood since I was 16! I had just started my modeling career and didn’t know what to do with my hair, and he was just looking for volunteers for training - I became one of them. We've been best friends ever since. We agreed that he would cut my hair short for my 30th birthday next year.
