Set to air December 2, the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show characteristically features many of the world’s most breathtaking models.
Some are veterans of the Victoria’s Secret runway, while others are making their debut.
One newcomer is Kelsey Merritt, who is the first Filipino model to walk in the show. Merritt appears during the VS PINK portion of the program.
Unsurprising to those already familiar with the model, Merritt looked incredible at the taping in early November. She should therefore generate considerable buzz — and win new fans — once ABC’s broadcast airs this Sunday.
Ahead of the broadcast, which is set for 10PM ET Sunday, ABC and Victoria’s Secret shared some photos.
