- Story Text: Victoria's Secret introduced its newest angels in New York's Times Square on Tuesday (July 28).
The event marked the first time all ten of the new models (Kate Grigorieva, Taylor Hill, Elsa Hosk, Martha Hunt, Jac Jagaciak, Stella Maxwell, Lais Ribeiro, Sara Sampaio, Romee Strijd and Jasmine Tookes) appeared together in public at the same time.
"Everyone has been so nice. And we felt so welcomed into the whole Victoria's Secret family. Like all the other angels, all the new ones, we get along so well," said Swedish model Elsa Hosk.
While most have had experience working with the brand, earning their wings was particularly special.
"It's that thing that you want, but you're like, when is it going to happening. And then all of a sudden it happened and I was like, 'wait, what?' So I was so excited. I told my parents and my dad was like, 'so now you're like the real thing, right?' And I'm like, 'yeah, thanks dad, thanks,'" laughed Portuguese model Sara Sampaio.
California native Jasmine Tookes shared the moment with her family: "I was so excited, I was jumping up and down. I called my mom and I was like, 'oh my God, guess what?' I was so excited."
Jac Jagaciak's agent had a bit of fun when telling her the good news.
"I got a call from my agent to come to the agency and we just sat in the kitchen at the agency. Of course, there was a huge bowl of cookies and she put the contract in front of me and I was just laughing so hard because I was looking at the cookies and I'm looking at the Victoria's Secret contract and I'm like, 'ok, just take them away'," said Jagaciak from Poland.
For many of the models the event, which doubled as a launch of the brand's new Body by Victoria collection, served as the first time they have ever done interviews with the media.
"Even though I was super nervous and I think a lot of girls are doing it for the first time I think we're all doing a great job. It actually makes me feel like, 'hey, I can do this for years now, right?'" said Jagaciak.
Several of Times Square's large screens were flooded with images of the models, which only added to their excitement.
"It almost doesn't feel like you. It feels like your work personality and also like - I mean, it's just hard to relate. It's hard to - I feel so small compared to that," explained Hosk.
