The Hadids are going to Paris! Not only will Gigi Hadid walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway for the second year in a row, but her sister, Bella Hadid, will join her.
Gigi, 21, confirmed the exciting news via her Instagram account on Wednesday, October 26. “There is no feeling in the world like walking down this runway,” she captioned a GIF of herself owning the 2015 catwalk. “I’m elated to say I’ll be returning to the @VictoriasSecret Fashion Show this year. Thank you @ed_razek for putting on the show that has been one of my greatest motivators since I was a teenage fan of the Angels, and for making this dream come true for me again. It will forever be an honor. Can’t wait to join the surreally beautiful and inspiring women that are the #vsfs2016 lineup. See you in Paris ❤️❤️😇👠‼️”
That same day, Victoria’s Secret posted a video of Bella’s audition for the fashion show, in which she admitted, “I have no idea [how I did]! Because I kind of feel like I black out when I go in there. I’m just like, ‘I’m in my underwear; this is fun!’ But I’m happy with it, I think. I hope they’re happy.”

But Bella had no need to worry, as the video ends with a big, “Congratulations, Bella! You got it!”
The brunette stunner shared a snippet of the clip via her Instagram page with a message of gratitude. “I can’t believe it !!!!! 👼❤️👼❤️👼 There is no better feeling than being confirmed for the @victoriassecret fashion show !!! 👙👠What a dream come true..I feel so appreciative and excited! Thank you for this opportunity to walk next to some of the most inspiring and incredible women in the world!💪Thank YOU from the deepest part of my heart @ed_razek @johndavidpfeiffe @10magazine#MonicaMitro 💕💕💕 thank you @gothamgym for whipping me into shape and @imgmodels @annemarieleonie for supporting me always !! So much love !!!! 💋💋💋 #VSFashionShow 💋.”
While Victoria’s Secret loves to keep its casting under wraps for as long as possible, it’s no surprise that the Hadid sisters scored spots on the Angelic lineup, as both sisters are having banner years. Gigi has scored multiple magazine covers — including Vogue‘s August issue — plus design gigs with Tommy Hilfiger and Stuart Weitzman, and Bella appeared on Glamour and Elle, and landed a deal as the face of Dior Beauty. If that’s not enough, both ladies are up for the 2016 Fashion Awards’ International Model of the Year honor.
As for Gigi’s best friend Kendall Jenner, who stunned at the 2015 VS Fashion Show and appeared on the cover of Vogue‘s coveted September issue, there’s no word just yet. But we’ll be keeping an eye out!
