Victoria’s Secret’s first transgender model

Victoria’s Secret has previously been criticized regarding the lack of diversity in both the campaigns and the runway shows. For example, many emphasized the lack of transgender and plus-size models. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that a lot of people responded with praise to Sampaio’s Instagram about the news.

Sampaio has already built up an impressive resume in the fashion world so far: She appeared on the covers of the French, Brazilian and German Vogue magazines.





Victoria’s Secret’s marketing director Ed Razek managed to get a lot of criticism in November. This was after he answered whether the brand should include transgender and plus-size models with "No, I don't think we should do that. Because the show is a fantasy." Following the backlash after his statement was published, he quickly apologized.
