Irina Shayk Isn’t The First Pregnant Model to Walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Routine OBGYN question: If I’m a Victoria’s Secret model (ie. Irina Shayk) and I’m pregnant, can I walk in the lingerie brand’s annual fashion show? This one’s a no-brainer—DUH, of course! Fun fact: supermodels—including Angels—get pregnant and have babies just like the rest of us. Several of them are blessed with genetics that allow them to snap back to their model figures shortly after, like goddesses/aliens Miranda Kerr, Candice Swanepoel, and Chrissy Teigen, but that’s a different story entirely.

Models in the family way even strut their stuff on arguably the biggest (definitely sparkliest) runway in the world, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, as Irina Shayk proved earlier this week in Paris. Having walked this year in looks that strategically covered up her growing bump, followed by a loose-fitting Givenchy dress for the after-party, the rumor was confirmed after the show. While we all sit here waiting for a blessed Cooper baby to appear, let’s take a look back at all the past Victoria’s Secret angels that have donned their wings while expecting, shall we?
