She had stormed the runway as part of this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai at the end of November.
And showcasing her catwalk credentials in Madrid, Spain on Tuesday, Blanca Padilla looked simply stunning as she stepped out in her native to attend the 15th anniversary of Glamour magazine at the Ritz Hotel.
The beauty, 22, slipped into a ballerina-inspired mini dress that sheathed her lithe frame and boasted a statement tutu skirt, as she found herself honoured with the International Model Award at the fashion bash.

She wore her glossy brunette mane down to fall past her shoulders, with her tresses styled into soft glamorous curls and swept over to one side.
To receive her prize, Blanca favoured a flawless make-up look that made sure to accentuate her striking features with contoured cheeks, a subtle smokey-eye and a dark red lip.
