Alex Consani just closed out one of the strongest fashion months of her career. On October 18, the California-born model walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City — the brand’s first Los Angeles show since 2007 — marking her third straight appearance in the revived runway spectacular. She delivered two distinct looks on the night: a baby-pink lingerie set under an oversized structured cape that shaded into green at the hem, and a black lace corseted set paired with sculptural metallic gold wings that lit up the runway.

The same week, she wore custom Gucci to the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner, one of fashion month’s marquee evenings. The Los Angeles show was the finale to a packed spring/summer 2027 season. Across fashion month, Consani walked for Gucci, Michael Kors, Khaite, Calvin Klein, Tom Ford and H&M, a booking list that underlines her standing with the industry’s most influential creative directors. Few models move as easily between commercial spectacle and high-fashion runway, and this season she did both at the highest level.

Consani’s trajectory has been remarkable from the start. She began modeling in 2015 at just 12 years old, becoming the world’s youngest transgender model at the time, and signed with IMG Models in 2019. Her online following grew through the pandemic years, but it was her runway and campaign work that carried her to fashion’s top table.

In December 2024, she made history at the Fashion Awards in London, becoming the first transgender model to win Model of the Year. That same year she walked her first Victoria’s Secret show. Three years into the brand’s comeback era, she is no longer a debut story — she is part of the furniture, a returning name the show builds its cast around. With another full fashion month behind her and the gold wings still fresh in everyone’s mind, Alex Consani’s season is the proof.

Nanabah Grace made fashion history on October 18, walking the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the first time at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles and becoming, as local and national coverage reported, the first Navajo model to walk the brand’s runway. The Diné–Bilagáana model was one of more than a dozen newcomers in a cast headlined by returning veterans, and her debut was her biggest runway moment yet, in the city she now calls home.

After the show, Grace reflected on the moment on Instagram, opening her message with “Ahéhee,” a Diné expression of thanks, and speaking about what it meant to represent her people on one of fashion’s most recognizable stages. She was not the first Native model to work with the brand: Nez Percé model Celilo Miles appeared in Victoria’s Secret’s 2022 Love Campaign, and Hän Gwich’in model Quannah Chasinghorse wore archival wings in its 2023 campaign and The Tour ’23 special. Grace’s walk carried that line of representation onto the main runway itself.

The debut was years in the making. Originally from southwestern Colorado, Grace signed with IMG Models in 2021 and made her runway debut for Jacquemus’s spring/summer 2022 show in Hawaii in March 2022. Her résumé since includes campaign work for Ralph Lauren and Maybelline, and runway appearances for Ed Hardy and Grace Ling in Los Angeles and for Indigenous designer K. Lookinghorse at New York Fashion Week. Models.com lists her with IMG in New York, London, Los Angeles and Sydney.

Her career runs on a second track as well. Grace played Kuttaambo’i, a Shoshone warrior, across five episodes of Netflix’s 2025 limited series American Primeval, an acting debut she landed while completing a behavioral health science degree at Grand Canyon University, where she graduated in December 2022.

For a model still early in her runway career, a Victoria’s Secret debut is the kind of booking that changes a trajectory. For Grace, it also carried a community with it, and her walk gave Indigenous representation a place on fashion’s loudest stage. It will not be the last time her name leads a story like this one.
