[UPDATE] [VIDEO] Half-Aussie Model Kelly Gale Rumored To Walk In the Victoria's Secret Runway
Kelly Gale is reported to be joining Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel and Karlie Kloss in this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The 18-year-old model is the latest addition to the lingerie brand's roster of models. Victoria's Secret may not have issued the official list of angels who will walk the runway, but various sources have listed the half-Australian half-Indian model to the confirmed roster for the fashion show.
Rumors of her supposed inclusion to the lineup began when she appeared in the casting video released by Victoria's Secret Nov. 7.
Prior to her recruitment to Victoria's Secret, the Sweden-based model has appeared in different magazine editorials and campaigns and has walked in Chanel's pre-fall show in 2012.
During her interview with Women's Wear Daily last year, Kelly expressed her desire to be part of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, saying, "I'd love to work for Victoria's Secret when I'm a little bit older. I don't know how my parents would feel about that, though. I'd have to have a little chat about it with my dad."
Though she is only part-Aussie and is living off a European city, her fellows from Down Under are likely to watch her walk in the annual fashion show now as Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr will be absent from the show. But until organizers announce the official lineup, Australian fans of both the lingerie brand and the annual show would have to speculate whether another fellow will join the show.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an invitation-only event to be held today at the Lexington Armory in New York, but will be taped for airing Dec. 10, Tuesday, via CBS and the Victoria's Secret All Access streaming site.
