Candice was born in the small farming village of Mooi River, South Africa in 1988.
She says that as a child she was a "tomboy" who did chores on her family's dairy farm, not far from a Zulu village.
A modeling scout discovered Candice when she was 15 and shopping at a local flea market.
By age 16, she had moved to Paris and quickly became one of the most sought-after runway models.
She met her current boyfriend, Hermann Nicoli, in Paris when she was 17. He's also a model.
This is what she looks like with and without her make-up on. In an interview, she said she is shy and reserved when she isn't modeling.
Her biggest break-through came in 2010, when she was appointed a Victoria's Secret Angel.
The next year, Candice shot a Vogue Italia cover.
She also posed for a sexy pictorial with GQ in 2012, where she said that men are always trying to impress her with their wealth.
This 2011 photo caused controversy because of how thin Candice looks. The photo was posted to Reddit and quickly went viral.
