Sweat Equity
"If I don’t have to work, I exercise every morning. It really clears my mind. I do Ballet Beautiful, sometimes two times a day if I have a big job coming up. One session will be more mat-based, the other standing cardio."

When in Rome
"Working with photographer Mario Testino on Bulgari's 2017 global campaign in Italy was an incredible moment for me. I could see the Vatican from set! I got to play this powerful character during the shoot, and it was such an honor to represent that. My favorite pieces are from the Serpenti collection. It's distinctly Bulgari—very sexy!"

Home Cooking
"When it’s time for supper, I’m very much an early bird, which I get teased for. My husband [Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill] grills an amazing steak, and I’ll make a side of peas and prosciutto."

Angel Food
"Getting through the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion show is all about the right fuel. Here's what I ate last November: Poached eggs, avocado, and green tea for breakfast, a quinoa salad for lunch, pasta for dinner, and a post-runway pizza party."

Go-to Getaway
