Filipino-American supermodel Kelsey Merritt has earned her wings, and it made history. It’s a huge milestone for the brand, which only just cast the first Filipino model to star in a campaign in November 2016 with Janine Tugonon.

Kelsey Merritt was spotted at callbacks for the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on September 4.

While the 21-year-old has appeared as a model for Victoria’s Secret a few times before, she will be the first Filipina to walk the lingerie company’s runway.

On Saturday, she announced the news with a heartfelt post on Instagram. The Filipino-American model shared a picture of herself holding a bouquet of flowers and smiling.
