Ashley Graham hits out at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is known for its sparkly runways, flashy undergarments, and, of course, massive feathery wings. That’s why it seemed totally believable that Ashley Graham would make an appearance.
On Sunday night, Ashley posted a photo on Instagram of herself looking like a Victoria’s Secret Angel with a caption that seemed to indicate the brand finally introduced a plus-size model into its line-up.
But within five minutes of the initial post, it was clear the news was too good to be true.
“Got my wings!” the caption on the post read, shared just hours before the live show took place in Shanghai.
The Instagram swiftly received a huge response of congratulatory replies for the 30-year-old model.
However, Ashley quickly changed her caption after faking followers out. “…my #AdditionElle wings!” she added to the statement, including the hashtag #thickthighssavelives.
The photo, pulled from the September 2016 Addition Elle runway, was photoshopped to give Ashley honorary wings.
The model has previously revealed she would say yes to be included in the VS show and posted something similar to Instagram last year.
In the recently re-launched #ImNoAngel campaign with Lane Bryant that Ashley appears in, she made it clear that until Victoria’s Secret begins including size 12 and above models in their show, it’s a runway she’s continued to be excluded from.
“VS has nothing on you,” one person commented on the post.
“What I wish I was seeing on the runway of Victoria’s Secret,” another added.
But regardless of if that someday happens, Ashley is making it known that you don’t need to be on that runway in order to have a pair of wings of your own.
