In a world where models routinely enter a grueling post-baby exercise routine to snap back into runway shape within weeks, Candice Swanepoel opted to skip last month’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in favor of spending some under-the-radar time with her now 3-month-old son, Anacã.
Last night, Swanepoel posted her first full-length mommy-and-me snap—and while her supermodel genes have her looking supernaturally fit in a black string ʙικιɴι, it’s her fresh-faced glow and earth goddess beauty that steal the focus of the frame.
