Despite her experience walking tons of runways at numerous fashion weeks, Kendall Jenner is still nervous about strutting her stuff on the Victoria’s Secret runway on Tuesday.
“It’s kind of strange to say it, but I’m more nervous about tripping or slipping than I am to be wearing lingerie, but it’ll all be good,” she told E! News backstage. “It’ll all be good.”
In an attempt to calm her nerves, Jenner, 20, took precautions and invited only two members — her parents, Kris and Caitlyn Jenner — of her large family, adding that she didn’t want to put more pressure on herself.
“I kept it small. I didn’t want all that pressure on me,” the model said. “Everyone kept asking and I was like, you know what, maybe there’ll be a next time. Maybe then. Because right now I’m really nervous; I’m peeing myself!”
Luckily, Jenner has her gal-pal, Gigi Hadid — who’s also walking in the show, by her side. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star also revealed she texted Hadid when she found out they would be walking together.
Of course, preparation for the show started long before Tuesday night, but the models made it a point to fuel up on some healthy snacks before gracing the coveted runway.
Jenner, Hadid, and other models were offered sandwiches, fruit and veggie chips along with water and black coffee as their hair set in rollers and they relaxed in pink VS robes backstage.
The two model pals also bonded before the show, posing with the Victoria’s Secret Pink dog for a photo-op and sharing a sweet backstage photo on Kris Jenner’s Instagram.
“These two backstage getting ready for the #VictoriaSecret Show tonight!!!!!!” the proud momager captioned the picture. “So excited Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid!!!! #dreamscometrue #friends #memories #dreambigworkhard”
