News of her latest gig was announced earlier this week
In case you missed the memo: Gigi Hadid will be gracing the runway at the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!
Victoria’s Secret announced the news on Twitter on Thursday by sharing a video of Hadid’s audition, in which the supermodel struts her stuff in lacy lingerie and then squeals with excitement (and sheds a few tears) when she lands the gig.
“Couldn’t keep back my tears!!!! Anyone that grew up with me knows that getting this show has been a dream of mine forever! THANK YOU @victoriᴀssecret & @ed_razek! One of the happiest moments of my life. #vsfashionshow2015” the 20-year-old stunner wrote on Instagram.
Not only does Hadid have the looks, but she’s also paid her dues in this fiercely compeтιтive industry.
Need more proof that Gigi is perfect for the job? Here are 15 reasons why she’ll rock the VS Fashion Show:
She’s graced countless catwalks and modeled for the likes of Versace, Tom Ford, Balmain, Anna Sui, Jeremy Scott, Diane von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Emilio Pucci and Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few.
She’s undoubtedly one of fashion’s current It girls.
She promotes a healthy body image.
She’s part of Taylor Swift’s squad (the pop star performed at the 2013 and 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion shows).
She’s already modeled for Victoria’s Secret Pink.
Modeling is in her genes (her mother is Yolanda Foster).
She’s BFFs with a number of Victoria’s Secret Angels.
She counts longtime Victoria’s Secret Angel Lily Aldridge as one of her biggest role models and previously said she’s given her the “most advice.”
