Victoria’s Secret Angel Lily Aldridge is ready to take flight on the runway at the taping of the brand's 2015 fashion show. The 29-year-old, who is wearing this year’s Fantasy Bra spilled about her big night and how her daughter is friends with another member of her squad.

“I just cannot wait to get on the runway, get my looks on and go work it,” Lily told HELLO! backstage of the show as she and her fellow models were in full hair and makeup mode at the Lexington Armory in NYC.

Coming out to support the supermodel on Tuesdaynight are two of her biggest cheerleaders, her mother and husband Caleb Followill. But asit turns out Lily reveals knowing where her husband is seated during the showmakes her slightly anxious. “I try not to know where he is cause then itmakes me extra nervous,” she said. Unfortunately for the model, someone had already given her her husband’s seating location for this year’s taping. Now that Lily knowswhere Caleb is seated, she has something special in store for him on the runway. “I’llgive him a little wink and a kiss,” she revealed.

One member of the model’s family who won’t bepresent to see her walk the runway live is their 3-year-old daughter Dixie. Instead, the mother-daughter duo will watch the show once it airs. “I show my daughter the next morning cause itairs a little late for a 3-year-old,” Lily said.

When the two watch the showtogether, Lily says Dixie likes to mimic her, plus she gives shout-outsto her mother's girlfriends on the runway. She explained, “[Dixie] knows all my friends. She’ll be like ‘That’s mommy!’ ‘There’s Candice.’ ‘There’s Behati.’"

And like mother like daughter, Anja loves to act like her supermodel mom "blowing kisses" on the runway. "I think she does [it] better than any of us," Alessandra said. "She does it more real than any of the girls here, so she’s pretty good, you know, she just pretends."
