In an alternate universe, Vita Sidorkina wouldn’t be stomping down the runway in a ball gown missing everything but its sleeves and some barely-there lingerie. If the 25-year-old Russian bombshell had fulfilled her childhood dream, she’d be a flight attendant in a demure uniform hiding some of the most sought-after curves in the world of fashion. No Victoria’s Secret shoots, no Maxim cover, and no fun except for a lucky planeload of passengers. We can all say a word of thanks that in this case at least dreams didn’t come true.
Yet she has more than fulfilled her fancy of seeing the world—and the pay is a hell of a lot better to boot—with almost 800,000 Instagram followers along for the ride. “Modeling is not something I dreamed of growing up,” the blonde beauty tells Maxim. “I got into it by accident! A friend invited me to a local modeling school for a summer camp, where I took my first professional pictures and uploaded them on social media. About a month later I was contacted by an agency in Moscow who told me I had potential to become a model and offered me a three-month contract in Japan.”
After moving to New York City at the age of 17 in 2011, Sidorkina began modeling for an impressive array of clients, including Lilly Pulitzer, BCBG, Elie Tahari, Rebecca Minkoff and Philipp Plein. Her big break came when she landed a spot in the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “I was so thrilled!” she says. “I prepared and worked really hard for two years to get there. Victoria’s Secret is the brand all models in the industry dream of, the competition is insane. It’s really a big deal to be selected.”
