Instructions

1. Search online by entering "Become a Victoria's Secret model" into your web browser. You'll find current information about how to become a Victoria's Secret model.

2. Peruse the websites of the Elite Modeling Agency and the Ford Modeling Agency. They are the 2 agencies who currently book models for Victoria's Secret.

3. Register yourself on the modeling websites. This is an easy way to be discovered without having to hire a professional photographer or create a modeling portfolio.

4. Ask a friend or amateur photographer to take some photographs of you, if you don't already have some. Agencies prefer snapshots rather than professional photographs.

5. Photograph yourself in natural lighting. Take a close-up, a profile, a 3/4 length from knee up and a head-to-toe shot. Use a digital camera and download them onto your computer.

6. Return to the Elite Modeling Agency and Ford Modeling Agency websites, or any other agency working with Victoria's Secret models. Sign up with them online by providing your personal information and physical statistics. Read their "Terms of Use Agreement" before registering. Upload your photos onto their website.

7. Read and note on their websites that the modeling agencies often have "Open Calls" where prospective models are allowed to come into their office for an interview. If you go to one, be sure to dress well, come prepared to answer questions and bring your resume.
