    Donaldson has appeared on 30 international covers of Vogue which includes the British, American, Italia, China, Australia, Japan, Turkey, Taiwan, Korea, Portugal, Spain and Russian editions. In 2010, she made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut[10] and also walked in the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 shows.[11]

The other models were Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, David Gandy, Karen Elson, Jourdan Dunn, Georgia May Jagger and Stella Tennant.[13] She wore a gold ball gown by Vivienne Westwood.[14]
