Should This Supermodel Feel Guilty For Being Beautiful?

Doutzen Kroes is undeniably gorgeous, but the supermodel said recently that she doesn't always feel great about herself — or her job.

"Sometimes it makes me feel guilty now that I am in this profession that makes certain girls insecure," Kroes told Page Six. "I always say, I don't look like the picture . . . If you put me in bad light with no hair and makeup, it's not good."

Nevertheless, Kroes told us last year that it's unreasonable to expect women who aren't models to look the way she looks.

"I have an amazing trainer," she said at the 2012 CFDA Awards. "But it's also my job. You can't compare my life to somebody who goes to work every day; I have to look this way."

A look at Kroes's style, her one food weakness, and how she stays trim, here in the gallery.

Despite all that working out, Kroes does have a food weakness: "French fries," she told us at last year's CFDA Awards. "I really like the ones at Shake Shack. That's the thing with french fries, and potato chips too. You have one, and you can't stop. But I always try not to eat the whole bucket that they give you, because I think that's the trick. Everything in moderation; you can't force yourself to eat none of the good stuff. I wouldn't be a happy person if I only ate salads. I love salads — but salads with fries." At left, the model wore a Missoni gown at the 30th annual Fashion Group International Night of Stars in October 2013.
So how does the 28-year-old Dutch stunner stay in such great shape? Being a mother certainly seems to help. "I have a son so I'm always running after him," Kroes said. "He's started walking and so that's lots of work. And my priority is really towards him, so I cook for him and then I just munch a little bit and I don't sit down to eat until later." She also works out regularly. "I box, I jump rope, and I do lots of leg work, you know, to keep the butt up," she said. "So, it's lots of things" At left, Kroes wore Calvin Klein Collection at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian).
