Sampaio and Alex Consani are the first two trans models to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Valentina Sampaio continues to make history.

The Brazilian model, 27, was the first trans model to star in a Victoria’s Secret campaign when she began working with the brand in 2019. Now, five years later, she and Alex Consani are the first two trans models to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Sampaio exclusively told PEOPLE that becoming one of the brand’s first trans models is a moment that she doesn’t take lightly and one that she’ll celebrate forever.

Sampaio hit the runway in New York on Oct. 15 wearing a giant black and copper striped bow with six different D-loops. Sampaio’s lingerie look included a black satin bra with subtle black embellishments, matching low-rise underwear and a fishnet bejeweled midi-length skirt.

The sparkling look was topped off with a pair of silver-studded pearl pumps and thick, oversize black hook earrings.

As for her glam, her hair reached voluminous heights, complementing the oversize back bow accessory. Her makeup was a subtle bronzy look — highlighting the subtle copper and metallic details in her ensemble — which included a bold black cat-eye, a brown smokey eye and a frosty nude lip gloss.
