Victoria’s Secret: Lady V Returns
By Chad Texieira
Back in 2004, Lady Victoria Hervey graced the cover of Loaded and burned herself into the memories of a nation of wide-eyed blokes. Blonde mane flowing, cheekbones sharper than a Samurai blade, and that aristocratic mix of class and cheek that made her the ultimate pin-up. Two decades later, Lady V is back—and let’s be honest, she’s still the fantasy. Sharper, sexier, and more switched-on than ever.
She’s no longer just the society girl who turned heads at every red carpet. In 2025, Lady Victoria Hervey is juggling film and TV projects, producing, hosting charity galas, and proving you can have glamour, brains, and a conscience all rolled into one. Instagram hasn’t hurt her case either—one bikini snap and the internet melts quicker than a Fab ice lolly in Marbs.
We caught up with the ultimate aristocratic queen to talk beauty, business, and why age is nothing but a number when you’ve still got it in spades.
You were once the ultimate Loaded cover girl—how does it feel to be back at that iconic shoot, knowing half the nation has you pinned to their bedroom wall again?
“I do still meet people that tell me they have my magazines. Feels good to be back again.”
You’re both sexy and sophisticated—what’s the secret? Is it the trademark Lady V blend: a little posh, a little playful—and always pitch-perfect?
“Being young at heart probably helps me a lot. I think a healthy balance is the secret. Match the mood with the occasion.”
From aristocrat to entrepreneur, you’ve smashed every label thrown at you—do you still enjoy proving people wrong?
“Yes I do very much—in true Libra style.”
Your Instagram posts regularly set pulses racing—do you ever sit back and think, damn, I still look better than most 20-somethings?
“Sometimes. I often forget how old I actually am as I feel so young. Some 100-year-olds are more youthful than a 35-year-old. It’s really about your soul. I have a friend who’s 103 with great skin and he has more energy than most 50 year olds and still wants daily challenges.”
You’re involved in some seriously cool projects right now—what’s the one thing you want the world to know about Lady Victoria Hervey in 2025?
“It’s a year where things are coming full circle. Admit that I was right.”
You’ve been on just about every red carpet going—what’s the most outrageous outfit you’ve ever dared to wear?
“Yes there have been many. I wore a black wig and rhinestone catsuit to an awards ceremony around 20 years ago. Another unusual outfit was one by Philipp Plein two years ago in Cannes. It was this big black feather creation that I couldn’t fit into a regular car. A van taxi had to be ordered to get me to the red carpet.”
You’ve done modelling, acting, presenting, and now producing—if we gave you one week off, what would the perfect Lady V holiday look like?
“Somewhere remote amongst a lot of nature either mountains or seaside. A yacht would probably be top. Relaxation to me is not being around big crowds.”
Do you prefer a man who takes you to Monaco on a yacht, or one who can just make you laugh until your mascara runs?
“A man who can do both would be ideal.”
You’re known for your philanthropy as much as your glamour—how important is it for you to use your platform for something more meaningful?
“I only want to use my platform for that. I will never be the kind of blogger/ content creator that just uploads make up and hand bags. I crave more depth than that.”
What’s the one beauty ritual or fitness secret that keeps you looking this good year after year?
“Exercise daily even when tired. Embryolisse face cream! I take a lot of supplements and herbs- about 20+ a day.”
You’ve partied in LA, London, St. Barts and beyond—what city still feels like “home” to you?
“Feeling at home is really about who you are with.”
“I can feel at home in all these places in good company.”
You’ve had your fair share of attention from the press—what’s the wildest headline you’ve ever read about yourself?
“Oh gosh, there have been many. I need to have a think. Usually about who they think I’m dating.”
Finally, what’s next for Lady Victoria Hervey—and should us mere mortals prepare to be jealous?
“I have some TV projects in the pipeline and a book too. I think this next year will be very interesting time.”
