Following years of declining popularity and lackluster sales, Victoria’s Secret brought back their once-popular runway fashion show, this time including two male models who identify as transgender.
The annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show started in 1995. It featured supermodels, or “Angels,” strutting the runway in lingerie and other high-end styles from the brand. The show was put on hiatus in 2019 following public backlash over body image expectations and the general content of the show. Many critics on the Left complained it wasn’t inclusive of body types or race, and accused the show of lacking LGBTQ representation.
In the following years, the brand moved away from “Angels” and instead made ambassadors out of “accomplished women,” such as soccer star and leftist activist Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra, and trans-identifying model Valentina Sampaio.
