Jasmine Tookes was one of three women of color to make Forbes ‘ list models better paid for 2016 (Joan Smalls and Liu Wen were the other two). Victoria Secret announced yesterday that Tookes will join another bittersweet trio. December 5, 2016, the model will be the third black woman in the secret history of Victoria to wear his iconic Fantasy Bra on the track. She follows in the footsteps of stiletto-clad Tyra Banks (1997) and heats Ebanks (2007).

Every ten years or more, a color model is given this honor. A 9:1 ratio may seem dark to some, Tookes prefers to look on the bright side of things: “I feel like it was such a milestone for Victoria Secret to have a black woman with the Fantasy Bra, because there were only two in the past, and the last was almost ten years ago,” confides to Fashionista. “” It is important, and I think it’s great I get represent that.

To return to the Forbes list , it is noted that 30 percent of income highest in the modeling industry are angels. While the company has a lot of faults, undervaluing the work of its royalties is not one of them.
“I never thought that I would have the opportunity to wear a bra for $3 million, so it’s always incredible to me,” Tookes, who has been #blessed with wings of an Angel just last year, share. “I just wanted to be on the track and be an Angel, so now that I can do this, it’s crazy.” (Watch her learn the big news in the video above.)
Of course, “this” implies an extremely restrictive diet (you know, the one Erin Heatherton spoke out against), tons of time at the gym and three hours of sitting stock still covered in plaster, waiting for the mold of the Fantasy Bra dry. “I almost couldn’t breathe because I propose too and it would mess up the measures,” Tookes, ever the good sport, said of her .
In the year which saw Secret PINK spokesperson for models the first black of Victoria and many strategic changes of production in society, we can that expect this decision indicates that Victoria Secret is definitely headed in a more inclusive direction.
