Overview
- Three Peruvian models — Luciana Fuster, Natalie Vértiz and Alexandra Morillo — posted videos showing they took part in an in-person Victoria's Secret casting held in Miami on May 22.
- A five-member jury that reportedly included supermodel Gigi Hadid evaluated runway presentations during the Miami session while footage from the auditions quickly went viral on social platforms.
- Victoria's Secret is running a multi-stage selection that began with virtual submissions and will continue with castings in Los Angeles, Houston and a final round scheduled for June 4 in Chicago before the company announces the roster.
- Applicants reportedly faced strict eligibility rules, including being 18 or older and having U.S. residence or work authorization, and the process attracted a very large pool of candidates with organizers saying roughly 15,000 people applied.
- For the models the casting offers wide international exposure and potential career impact, but advancement to the show or a Victoria's Secret 'angel' role remains subject to the brand's internal deliberations and final selections.
