Paulina Álvarez to Walk in Landmark Victoria’s secret Fashion Show Renewal
Colombian model Paulina Álvarez will participate in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15th, marking a pivotal moment in the brand’s reimagining and a significant achievement for Latin representation in the fashion industry. The event, the first in-person Victoria’s Secret show as 2018, will be globally broadcast on the brand’s digital platforms.
Álvarez’s inclusion comes after a high-profile season that saw her walk in Paris Fashion Week alongside established stars like Helen Mirren and Eva longoria. This participation underscores a broader shift within Victoria’s Secret toward celebrating diversity and female empowerment, a departure from previous iterations of the show. For Álvarez,the possibility represents the culmination of dedicated work and a powerful statement about the potential for Latinas in the global fashion landscape. “When a Latina woman, and even more so when she is Colombian, focuses and works without giving up, she can go where she never imagined,” Álvarez recently shared on social media, accompanying a photo with Kendall Jenner.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s return is intended to signal a conceptual renewal for the brand, moving away from a historically narrow definition of beauty. Álvarez’s presence, alongside other diverse models, is central to this new vision. The show will emphasize “their scars and their own light,” as indicated by sources close to the production.
Following her success at Paris Fashion Week, Álvarez has become a prominent figure in international modeling. The October 15th broadcast will position her as a key representative of Latin talent on a global stage, potentially opening doors for other aspiring models from the region.
