Victoria's Secret will have its first transgender model. And she's so hot that even you'll fall in love (7 photos)

For years, Victoria's Secret Angels have been captivating not only the world's catwalks, but also the hearts of millions of men. With their slender figures and refined features, these women seem to have truly descended from heaven to earth to share their beauty with others.





And just recently, a new member joined the angelic ranks. To be more precise, a transgender woman named Valentina Sampaio. This model looks so natural and sexy that many refuse to believe she was once a man.



Victoria's Secrets has announced a new model. She is 22-year-old Valentina Sampaio from Brazil. This news has sparked a heated debate on social media. This is because Valentina was once a boy. Or rather, a boy, as a psychologist identified her as transgender at the age of eight.





When Valentina turned 12, she officially came out and began calling herself a girl. Her family and friends supported this decision, as, according to the model, even then they "saw more feminine than masculine" in her.



Indeed, looking at Valentina's photo, it's hard to imagine her as a man. A fragile, graceful blonde with refined features, she seems destined for the catwalk and magazine covers.



Incidentally, Valentina became the first transgender model to appear on the covers of Vogue Paris and Vogue Brasil.



And now she has also been honored to represent one of the world's most renowned companies producing swimwear, lingerie, cosmetics, and accessories.



Reactions to this news on social media were mixed. Some supported Sampaio, writing that she was perfect for the role. Others lashed out with harsh criticism, primarily related to her gender.

It's worth noting that transgender models have recently become increasingly popular, as many are just as beautiful as their "straight" counterparts. We've previously covered her ex-boyfriend-turned-lingerie model, Spanish beauty Angela Ponce, who is vying for the Miss Universe title, and the incredible Ines Rau, the first transgender woman to grace the cover of Playboy.
