Victoria’s Secret announced their new lineup of heavenly Angels yesterday, and it looks like ten new models just earned their wings. Joining superstars like Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, and Candice Swanepoel are newbies Taylor Hill, Kate Grigorieva, Martha Hunt, Jac Jagaciak, Stella Maxwell, Jasmine Tookes, Lais Ribeiro, Romee Strijd, Elsa Hosk, and Sara Sampaio. Hailing from all over the world, these ladies are bringing more than good looks and cultural diversity to the table.
While most of the new Angels have walked for the brand at least twice, four of them walked in a Victoria’s Secret Runway Show only once, and were apparently impressive enough to land contracts after one strut. They also come with a surprising number of talents and hobbies, including Sampaio who is a brown belt in karate, and Hosk who was formally a professional basketball player in her homeland of Sweden.
Of course it’s no secret that nabbing an Angels contract is one of the most coveted jobs in modeling as most women who land the job are quickly rocketed to superstardom, like past Angels alum Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss and Erin Heatherson. Only time will tell how much star power these ladies have, but we’re betting they’ll be the next big names in modeling. Congrats, ladies!
