The Los Angeles native donned a skimpy white two-piece swimsuit as she struck a range of hot poses for Victoria’s Secret photogs capturing all of the action.

Rising up the ranks of the lingerie brand, Miss Aldridge recently made headlines upon announcing her engagement to Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill.

As for a few tidbits about the brunette beauty, she recently told of her favorite place in the world, saying, “I have so many places I love!! Barcelona, Sydney, London, Los Angeles, Nashville.. New York! Just to name a few ”

Of the situation, a source told Us magazine, “It’s crazy how this is being made out to be some big breakup. They were never exclusive or serious to begin with! I could count on my hand how many times they went out.”

The Us insider added, “They decided to try it and she was not interested. That’s dating! This isn’t some big, dramatic split.”

The insider alleges, “Jessica’s convinced that becoming an endorser for a company like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers or Slim-Fast is her ticket to success. Hooking up with a respected diet program would be a win-win situation for Jessica. Jessica wants to look her best and slimmest in her wedding gown later this year, and she desperately needs a career boost.”

The Enquirer source added, “Jessica loves inspiring women, and she thinks working for a weight-loss and diet company would help reconnect her with her core audience.”
