Lily Aldridge may be known for her modeling work —especially with Victoria’s Secret—but there is more to her beauty than meets the eye.
It isn’t a well-known fact, but the model is 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 to layer underneath a black crochet-and-feather dress. Lily styled her quirky ensemble with tassel earrings.
The 30-year-old went the extra mile by finishing off her look with a pair of Aquazzura “Fauna” sandals. The front strap of these shoes is adorned with gold insects.

The wealthy model attended the event with her sister, Ruby Aldridge, Victoria’s Secret Angel Martha Hunt, and her husband, Caleb Followill.
Lily Maud Aldridge, born November 15, 1985, in Los Angeles, California, is an esteemed American model. Her ethnicity is 62.5% English, 25% Italian, and 12.5% Irish.
She hails from a prominent artistic family. Her father is the renowned English artist Alan Aldridge, from London, and her mother, Laura Lyons, a native of Los Angeles, was a Playboy Playmate of the Month.

Lily Aldridge has two siblings: a half-sister, Saffron Aldridge, and a younger sister, Ruby Aldridge. Both Saffron and Ruby Aldridge have followed in their father’s footsteps and pursued careers in the fashion industry. They have both appeared in campaigns for major brands such as Chanel, Dior, and Marc Jacobs.
Lily was adorably crouched down to receive her award from a young boy. The model is not too vocal about her work for children worldwide, so we’re not sure exactly what she has done with the organization.
We know she is a doting mother to her little one, Dixie. The award recognizes individuals who have significantly contributed to improving children’s lives.
