Valentina Sampaio Says Victoria's Secret Made Her "Long-Held Dream Come True"

Valentina Sampaio prepares Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2024 on October 15, 2024 in New York City.

Valentina Sampaio walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday for its grand return, making her one of only two trans women to ever participate in the cultural-phenom event.

"This moment is one I will cherish for a lifetime," Sampaio told People of the milestone ahead of the show. "Today, the Victoria’s Secret family has shown the world that being trans is just as exceptional and beautiful as anyone else on that runway. Inclusivity is crucial to the world we’re building, and I’m honored to walk with pride, love and the hope of inspiring the next generation. Thank you, Victoria’s Secret, for making a long-held dream come true."
