Victoria’s Secret Adds 10 New Angels to the Roster (Can We Get an ‘Amen’?)
The fashion Gods have spoken. Their decree? Let there be new Angels. That’s right, Victoria’s Secret just bumped its roster of Angels from five to 15 — adding 10 more (tall, beautiful, bombshell) models to the mix.
The brand made the announcement on social media this morning, rolling out one intro after another for each of the fresh faces on both Twitter and Instagram.

The announcement follows the 2015 departure of two of the brand’s top faces: Both Karlie Kloss and Doutzen Kroes traded in their wings earlier this year due to other commitments. “Karlie is stepping down from her Angel duties,” a source close to Kloss told PEOPLE in February. “She’s got a busy but exciting year ahead and the decision came down to timing. She’ll be focusing on her modeling career, new business opportunities and NYU starting in the fall.”
And with the departure of Miranda Kerr in 2013, the Angels roster had been thinning to the point where it was time for some new supermodels to strut their stuff. We’re just disappointed that Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid aren’t on the list — they seemed like shoo-ins (fly-ins?) last fall.
What do you think of the new names? See any early faves?
