the insider: lily aldridge

Claudia Schiffer better watch her back.

Lily Aldridge is the new face of XOXO, and her ads are enough to wipe the memories of the models that posed for the brand before her (Schiffer, Christy Turlington, Miranda Kerr, Erin Heatherton, and more!) completely out of your head.

It's sort of no wonder Aldridge has what it takes to be a supermodel--her fashion cred is unparalleled. Her father is a famous British artist, her mother, sister, Ruby, and half-sister, Saffron, are models, and her half-brother is the world-famous photographer Miles Aldridge. Oh yeah, and her husband is the frontman for Kings of Leon, Caleb Folliwill--maybe you've heard of him?

Still, the California-born model is pretty down to earth. Just read our interview with her, and you'll see for yourself.
