Top model Gigi Hadid will officially be walking in the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in less than two weeks. The show, taking place November 10, will air on December 8 at 10 p.m. EST for those of us who didn’t get an invite to the super-exclusive event (*sniff*).
On Thursday evening, IMG Models, her modeling agency, posted a congratulatory photograph to send love to Gigi. In addition, Victoria’s Secret tweeted a video to show Gigi’s reaction to the exciting news. And it is is simply adorable—you can see the joy on her face as she lets the news soak in.

When Gigi posted a photo of her reaction to her personal Instagram account, her caption said: “Couldn’t keep back my tears!!!! Anyone that grew up with me knows that getting this show has been a dream of mine forever!”
Since Gigi has modeled previously with PINK, it only seems right that she was selected to rock the Victoria’s Secret runway this year.
According to Sports Illustrated, Gigi will be in good company; she’s joining fellow Sports Illustrated swimsuit models Lily Aldridge, Sara Sampaio and Erin Heatherton, all of whom have graced the VS runway before. This year’s show will also feature performances by Selena Gomez, Rihanna and The Weeknd.
We have a lot to look forward to with this year’s show! Congrats, Gigi!
