Over the weekend, excited models took to Instagram to confirm that they’ve scored an exclusive invite to walk in the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
When former runway regulars include Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen, Miranda Kerr, Naomi Campbell and Karlie Kloss, it’s no wonder VS is thought of as one of the biggest stepping stones for models worldwide.
This year, four Australian models will walk in the runway extravaganza, including regulars Kelly Gale and Shanina Shaik and first-timers Duckie Thot and Alannah Walton. Below, meet the Aussies – and two Kiwis – we’ll be cheering on come December.
