Ashley Graham ushered in a new era of style as a Victoria’s Secret Angel in a black lace bodysuit, which she paired with a matching see-through robe and semi-sheer lace underwear. The ensemble’s mesh fabric featured a delicate flower-like design.

The 36-year-old completed the look with black strappy sandals with wraparound ankle.
Graham’s runway debut comes days after she shared on Instagram that she has joined the iconic cast of the VSFS. The video saw the model appear for a wing-fitting session. Graham shared, “I am over the moon excited because I am in my late 30s. I just had three children, and I am feeling so curvy and so sexy and my outfit is fire.” The star shares three sons — Isaac, Malachi, and Roman — with her husband, Justin Ervin.
Furthermore, Graham shared her excitement about “representing so many curvy women of all shapes and sizes on the runway.” She gushed, “I’m just honored to be on the stage.” Graham continued that her “expectations” of this year’s show were for “people to feel seen.” The model also revealed that she had said “yes” to Victoria’s Secret “so that you could feel seen.”
Ahead of the show, Graham spoke to PEOPLE and shared she wasn’t feeling nervous, “Everything’s very secure.” The star also explained why she said yes to walking the runway for the show’s return after a six-year hiatus. Graham recalled talking to the head of Victoria’s Secret, who assured the model that “their hope and their plan is to have extended sizes.” Graham also said she agreed so that more women could “see themselves represented on the runway because we did not see that during Fashion Month.”
