Lily Aldridge may be known for her modeling work — especially with Victoria’s Secret — but there is more to the beauty than meets the eye.

It isn’t a well-known fact, but the model is pretty famous for her advocacy work.

The 30-year-old received the 2016 “Advocacy Award” from World of Children for her dedication to little ones.

Lily went for the shirt-under-a-dress trend with a Carolina Herrera combination.

She picked a sheer top layered underneath a black crochet-and-feather dress. Lily styled her quirky ensemble with a pair of tassel earrings.

The 30-year-old went the extra mile by finishing off her look with a pair of Aquazzura “Fauna” sandals. These shoes are adorned with gold insects on the front strap.

Lily was adorably crouched down to receive her award from a young boy. The model is not too vocal about the work she does for children worldwide, so we’re not sure exactly what she has done with the organization.

One thing we do know is that she is a doting mother to her own little one, Dixie. The award recognizes individuals who have significantly contributed to improving children’s lives.
