Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Meet 5 Black Models Who Kill the Runway
5. Jourdan Dunn
The British supermodel has walked the last three Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows, but didn’t make her fourth appearance for the 2015 show. During the airing of this year’s show, she tweeted, “Feeling soo much better about not doing BS… Sorry I mean VS now that Rihanna isn’t doing it also,” but it was quickly deleted. The reasons for why she didn’t appear for this year’s show aren’t clear.
Dunn has been making headlines since her discovery in 2006, appearing on international runways and being the first black model to walk a Prada runway in over a decade in Feb. 2008. In April 2014, she was announced as the new face of Maybelline New York, and several months later in July she was listed in the Forbes top-earning models list, having estimated earnings of $4 million in one year.
