Backstage at Victoria’s Secret this morning, we played favorites with Aminata Niaria. It’s her very first Victoria’s Secret show and she’s super excited, so we wanted to get to know more about the new beauty.
What’s your favorite song?
Black Eyed Peas. In the morning, I like “Boom Boom Pow.”
Favorite city?
I’m from Senegal, but now I’m based in New York. I love Paris and New York. It’s half and half! Too difficult to decide.
Favorite things to do on your days off?
I love to go shopping and doing fitness—bicycle, running in Paris. And I like to go to the cinema with my friends.
How does it feel to walk for Victoria’s Secret?
I feel so sexy! I feel 100 percent confident with my body, but with the show you have to feel 110 percent, so much more confidence in your body. I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait for tonight!
Who’s the first person you told?
My boyfriend—he was so excited! Then I told my mom—I love my mom, she’s my best friend.
