In case you’ve been sleeping the entire weekend and you missed it, Kelsey Merritt got confirmation that she’ll be walking in the prestigious Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show later this year. She’s the first Filipino that will walk the runway where the likes of Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr, Tyra Banks, and more jaw-dropping supermodels have walked! Kelsey did her country proud by breaking ground for Filipinos in the fashion industry, it wouldn’t come as a surprise when, after all this, there will be more opportunities for Filipino models to showcase their talent in international stages.
Kelsey has always dreamt of working with Victoria’s Secret since she started her modeling career years ago, she initially had a lingerie and sports line photo shoot with the brand back in May and June 2018 and that set her on the path to becoming a part of the Fashion Show later this year.
But we sort of envisioned her as a Victoria’s Secret model even before it was announced. Check out a few of her gorgeous Instagram posts!
She’s got beauty and brains

If we were to decide what photo is ultimately deemed as the best, this would be it — her graduation picture. She graduated a 4-year AB Communications course at Ateneo de Manila University while juggling her modeling career. All her hard work just makes us proud!
She makes the streets her runway

Of course this was during a Victoria’s Secret lingerie photo shoot for the website, but maybe this has been a premonition after all. Kelsey has also modeled for the brand’s sports line.
The way she enjoys her food + the aesthetic of these streets!
