Gigi Hadid will be walking the coveted Victoria Secret runway next month -- heartening news in light of last month's body-shaming trollfest, which she shut down gracefully via Instagram.
Called too curvy "for a runway model" body by the haters, it's wonderful to see the iconic brand embrace a wider variety of body types. And while Hadid has not yet been inducted as a full-fledged Angel, it's still a big step -- plus she'll be amongst good company at the show, which also boasts headlining performances from the likes of Rihanna, The Weeknd and Selena Gomez.
We ❤️ surprises so here's a BIG one for @GiGiHadid at the #VSFashionShow castings! See you on the runway, Gigi 😉 pic.twitter.com/DWZbecUIfn
