Meet the New Models Walking the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the First Time

Making the cut to walk the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a major milestone for a model’s career. To be able to follow in the well-heeled footsteps of such infamous supermodels like Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima, basically grants a young up-and-comer “super” status, if not social media recognition.

For the 2016 fashion show, 18 rookies will be granted their Angel wings. Among the lucky group includes Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid’s little sis, Camille Rowe and Alanna Arrington.

I’m walking in the 2016 VICTORIA’S SECRET SHOW! I honestly can’t believe this moment is real. When I first went in to my agency before I even signed, they asked me my goal and I told them…I want to walk for Victoria Secret. At the time I laughed about it I never knew I would go this far. Thank you @ed_razek @johndavidpfeiffer for this insane opportunity, I won’t let you down!!! I never knew I could cry so much yet smile so big. Thank you to @nextmodels @nextmodelsmia and everyone else who has supported me through this journey. I cannot wait to walk down the runway in Paris! I’ll see you guys there! IM WALKING IN THE VICTORIA’S SECRET SHOW!!!!!!!!! #vsfashionshow #vsfsparis2016
