Being a Victoria's Secret angel may sound like a fabulous life, but supermodel Doutzen Kroes has different dreams for her daughter: "Instead of saying, 'You're so beautiful,' I'll say, 'You're smart,' so she'll have different aspirations in life than beauty and modeling," Doutzen recently told The New York Post.
And why is that so important to her? "Though I love my job, I'm not changing the world,” says Doutzen. "I'd love for her to study and to have different aspirations. We need to teach girls they can become presidents and it’s not about beauty all the time."
No matter what career path Doutzen's daughter chooses—runway model, CEO, or Commander-in-Chief—we love that she's encouraging female empowerment through education. Of course, if her baby eventually decides to wear couture in Milan, that's cool, too! Beauty and brains is a pretty powerful combination, after all.
