Ashley Graham Calls Out Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2017 With Angel Wings Photo

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show taped earlier today, and despite the fact that it hasn't aired yet, people are already airing their grievances about it on social media. Ashley Graham — the accomplished, boundary-breaking model many feel should be the first plus-size Angel — took to her Instagram to show exactly why she deserves a spot. She shared an image of herself walking the runway in lingerie with an elaborate pair of angel wings Photoshopped on her back. The caption read, “Got my wings! ... my #AdditionElle wings! #thickthighssavelives”

The photo is from her 2016 Addition Elle runway appearance, an inclusive lingerie brand that many see as the answer to Victoria's Secret lack of size diversity. Fans on Graham's page had mixed emotions about the image, with some disappointed that she’s not in the show but also happy to see her taking a stand. “I️ thought for a second she was gonna be in VS fashion show I️ legit almost screamed with joy, 💔” said one fan. Another called for VS to make a change, saying, “PLEASE diversify the runway ASAP to include the spectrum of beauty across all shapes and sizes!!”

This year’s show has already seen its fair amount of issues, including Gigi Hadid's surprise exit and the denial of visas for four models, as well as for intended performer Katy Perry. While the brand has made strides in terms of diversity, with seven Chinese models walking the runway this year, a plus-size model would be another long overdue and welcome addition.
