Victoria’s Secret Has Hired an Openly Trans Model for the First Time

She followed up the post with a video, also containing the “vspink” hashtag, and some disconcerting background noise. Fellow Brazilian Victoria’s Secret model Lais Ribeiro voiced her excitement over Sampaio’s hiring, tweeting “First transgender to shoot with Vs! This make me so happy!” “I don’t think we can be all things to all customers. It is a specialty business; it isn’t a department store. I’m always asking myself: If we do that, what is the reason we did it? Why did we include that person? And did we include them to shut up a reporter? Did we include them because it was the right thing to do or because it was the politically correct thing to do?”
