Supermodels’ morning routines

What does an ideal morning look like? For the world’s top models, the early hours are sacred – a time when self-care becomes an essential ritual. Gentle awakenings, delicate skincare routines, leisurely breakfasts, and short yoga practices help them find balance between outer beauty and inner harmony. The ELLE O’zbekiston editorial team looked into the morning routines of several models to inspire you to create your own morning rituals.

Miranda Kerr 

The Australian supermodel, entrepreneur, and one of the most recognizable figures in the fashion world, Miranda Kerr, has plenty of great morning habits. As the model herself notes, the morning is a particularly important time for her, setting the tone for the entire day. That’s why Miranda tries to wake up at 5–6 a.m. and start her day calmly. Right after waking, she dedicates time to a short meditation. Then, without fail, before breakfast, she drinks a warm glass of water with lemon to activate her metabolism. To help her body fully awaken, Miranda does simple stretches or a short yoga session. Skincare and mini day-planning are also essential parts of her morning routine.

Gigi Hadid 

Designer, entrepreneur, and model Gigi Hadid is a fan of "balance" rather than strict rituals. She often emphasizes that she doesn’t force herself to perfectly stick to a regime but listens more to her inner feelings. Thus, Gigi doesn’t force herself to wake up early, preferring to get up later. As she says, good, restful sleep is the main secret to her beauty and energy. An essential part of her ritual is a delicious and hearty breakfast. Gigi often opts for eggs, toast, and coffee. Moreover, Gigi doesn’t always work out early in the morning, but she makes sure to find time for physical activity during the day. 

Sara Sampaio 

Former Victoria’s Secret Angel and global supermodel Sara Sampaio sticks to a morning routine that combines self-care, healthy eating, and moderate exercise. After waking early and having a nutritious breakfast, the model pays special attention to her skincare and body care. Sometimes she goes for a short jog outdoors, and if time allows, she prefers an intense Pilates session. Sara emphasizes the importance of sleep and rest for overall well-being. She also takes time in the morning for self-reflection and reading to lower stress and anxiety levels.

Jasmine Tookes 

For supermodel and former Victoria’s Secret Angel Jasmine Tookes, the key to the morning is a positive mindset. Immediately after waking up, Jasmine tries to set a positive tone, reminding herself, "Today will be a wonderful day." She believes that your thoughts set the tone for your entire day. After her skincare routine, Jasmine always gives herself a facial massage, either with her hands or using cooled globes to improve circulation and reduce puffiness. Next in her schedule are morning workouts. She prefers Pilates and strength training to maintain her tone and energy throughout the day. 

Candice Swanepoel 

South African supermodel Candice Swanepoel starts her morning with a cup of refreshing coffee or a shower to energize and prepare herself for the day. She also places great importance on breakfast, preferring nutritious and healthy meals. After her skincare routine, the model chooses various workouts, including yoga, Pilates, and strength exercises. She works out 3–4 times a week for about 30 minutes, which helps her maintain her shape and mental balance. Candice emphasizes the importance of balancing physical and mental health by starting the day with self-care, healthy eating, and sports.
