Lily Donaldson opens the Harrods summer sale

British model Lily Donaldson officially opened the doors to the iconic Knightsbridge store's summer sale this morning.

BY BIBBY SOWRAY | 16 JUNE 2012

Lily Donaldson is one of the most successful models to come out of Britain and this morning she cemented her status by opening the Harrods summer sale.

Wearing a one-sleeved black and white Lanvin dress (a Harrods sale item, of course), the 25-year-old officially opened the sale at 9am this morning with showers of sparkling confetti raining down on the crowd as the doors opened.

"It's a big honour. I've been coming here since I was a kid for the toys," she said before posing in front of piles of perfectly wrapped Harrods presents with the Knightsbridge store's iconic green-clad doormen.

"I will have my eyes peeled today for a cashmere coat," said Donaldson when we asked her what bargains she was hoping to bag in the sale.

What are her plans for the future? "I certainly want to continue to model and work with incredible photographers and designers, however I am also looking forward to doing more charity work." Not just a (very) pretty face.

And how does it feel to be one of Britain's greatest modeling exports as we approach the nation's biggest summer? "I am very, very proud to be British and I am so excited for the summer. England won their match against Sweden in the Euro last night, which is a good start to the sporting calendar!"

We wonder if this means we'll be seeing Lily take to the Olympics Closing Ceremony stage for the rumoured 'fashion extravangza' that's set to take place, guess we'll have to wait and see

Supermodel Lily Donaldson, chosen to open the prestigious Harrods Summer Sale, reveals her beauty secrets

It could have been hard to pin down one of the world's top jet-setting models to talk make-up, but luckily this London-born beauty - not to mention Vogue covergirl and Victoria's Secret model - took time out of opening the Harrods Summer Sale to talk us through her top tips.

What are your five top beauty products?

Simple wipes because they are easy to carry around and are great for travelling; Estée Lauder Night Repair; Avène Day Cream, Aquaphore Lip Repair and Estée Lauder Idealist serum. I like simple, good quality products.

What is the one beauty product you cannot live without?

Lip balm and a good moisturiser.

What is your exercise regime?

I try to walk as much as possible and I love Pilates. I also horse ride and swim as often as I can. I like to get fresh air and have fun while I exercise - to distract me!

How do you prepare for a big show, such as Victoria’s Secret?

I eat well, sleep and drink lots of water. I also try to be more active and get in extra Pilates classes!

How do you keep your hair looking healthy through the fashion show season?

That’s very hard but I will sometimes use leave-in conditioner at night during the shows.

What is your failsafe red carpet beauty tip?

If you don’t have a lot of time, then I use something simple like a lip stain or tint. But if you want to go for it, a really good lip colour - a red - can be very dramatic and can help an outfit become glamorous.

What’s the most common beauty complaint amongst models?

During the [fashion] shows your skin really goes through a lot; a lot of make-up goes on and off your face up to five or six times a day. The biggest complaint for me is always sore eyes from rubbing eye make-up off quickly, so a gentle make-up remover and a good eye cream is crucial.

What’s the best tip a make-up artist has ever given you?

Pat McGrath taught me many things: taupe on the eyes, how to highlight the right parts of your face, and also how to apply lipstick with your finger!

Proudest Moment

ELLA ALEXANDER 18 June 2012

LILY DONALDSON knows exactly which modelling job she is most proud of - and we thoroughly commend her choice.

"Being on the cover of British Vogue was certainly a highlight," she told us this weekend.

London-born Donaldson certainly has plenty to choose from - as well as walking for Dior and Lanvin last season, she is also a Victoria's Secret regular and cannot wait for the opening of the brand's highly-anticipated debut London store in July.

"I am very, very excited," she said. "It is so much fun working with Victoria's Secret and I love being able to show that womanly side of myself."

This weekend, the model opened the Harrods summer sale - following in the footsteps of Florence Welch, Eva Herzigova and Jerry Hall.

"Opening the sale of such an iconic London store is such an honour as I grew up here in London," Donaldson explained. "It also gives me a chance to get to the bargains first! I can remember coming to Harrods as a child and being in awe of the store all lit up with fairy lights. The store holds many memories for me and my Granddad bought my first teddy from Harrods."
