Just a few days ago, model Shanina Shaik said that the legendary Victoria´s Secret show would be canceled after 23 years, being the most watched lingerie show in the world, leaving the industry in shock. Especially to the guild of models for which this show meant the direct jump to stardom and to upload their cache through the air.

A few days after the news broke and after several seasons facing criticism for the lack of diversity among its models and the absence of large sizes year after year, today it has been known that the firm has signed the first trans model in its story, Brazilian Valentina Sampaio.

His colleague and compatriot, the Brazilian model Lais Ribeiro, was one of the first to comment on the news on Twitter. “The first transgender photographed for Victoria's Secret! This makes me so happy!”He wrote.

Another celebrity who has applauded this step towards the diversity of the firm is the actress and transgender activist Laverne Cox, who has commented on her networks that it is time.

Although many have reproached the underwear brand for this lack of variety in their castings and for not representing all types of women in their parades and campaigns, a few months ago they confirmed the hiring of the first plus-size model, the spectacular Spanish Lorena Durán.

“I am very proud of this new job. It is time for diversity,”she sentenced in an Instagram post announcing the news.

So, whatever you are and how Sampaio herself has expressed in her networks "You must not stop dreaming people!".
