In 2009, Kylie Bisutti won the Victoria’s Secret model search and was catapulted into a life that would easily be a dream-come-true for aspiring models everywhere. The lights. The runways. The photo shoots. The income. She was on top of the world and her future couldn’t be brighter.
But then Kylie began reading her Bible more and growing in her faith. She could see that she was easily becoming a sex symbol, and no longer felt comfortable putting her body on display. And so she did the unthinkable.
She walked away.
No one walks away from the opportunity to be a Victoria’s Secret model. But Kylie did. And the modeling world (and young women everywhere) are taking notice.
We think Kylie’s decision is an awesome example of becoming a biblically beautiful young woman. Click her photo to listen to an interview with her:

Does Kylie’s story inspire you? Tell us what you think in the comments!
I so admire this young woman for holding true to her own convictions. She seems to be a model of what Christ wants us to be. While that particular type of modeling was not what she felt was right for her, she is not, as she said, judgmental of other models. Although I don’t know her entire story, I am impressed with what I see in her now – that awe inspiring inner beauty of the true Christian woman. I can only pray that my young granddaughters will learn to be completely comfortable with who God made them to be and not find it necessary in any way to show themselves provocatively in order to attract males; but that they will rely on their inner beauty that is not fleeting and will always prove more acceptable to God. What a wonderful testimony for Kylie! I know God has great things in store for her.
