Emira D'Spain Announced as Victoria's Secret's First Black Transgender Model
Emira D'Spain makes history as the first Black transgender model to collaborate with the lingerie brand.
Criticized for its lack of inclusivity in the past, Victoria's Secret is making moves to reinvent its image. From including plus-sized models in their ad campaigns and on their website to diversifying their pool of models, the lingerie brand is making steps towards a better future. Now, the brand has partnered with its first Black transgender model.
TikToker Emira D'Spain announced her collaboration with the lingerie brand through the video platform. Known for her "Get Ready With Me" videos and beauty tips, D'Spain promoted pieces from the brand in lingerie in a single girl's Valentine's Day "Get Ready With Me." Pairing a red Victoria's Secret corset with a black leather mini skirt, tights, and black Louboutins boots, D'Spain created the perfect look for a Galentine's Day date.
Building her platform on self-care and self-love, D'Spain wants to bring more inclusivity to the brand. In an Instagram post, D'Spain said, "As a kid I only DREAMED of being a part of Victoria's Secret," and gave praise to Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio for "paving the way."
