Victoria’s Secret’s newest and youngest Angel has finally gotten her wings.
The 5-foot, 11-inch model Karlie “The Body” Kloss, 20, has walked for the lingerie fashion house since 2011 but was only recently made an official Angel.
In her first spokeswoman job for the company, Kloss appeared with Angels Alessandra Ambrosiso and Candice Swanepoel in Los Angeles last week to introduce the brand’s latest swimwear collection.
While fitting the stunningly beautiful, perfect-body mold that all Victoria’s Secret Angels seem to fit in, Kloss’ hair makes her stand out from the pack.
Her short, bob haircut is a first for Victoria’s Secret, although she has so far appeared on the runway wearing bombshell extensions.
“It’s an honor to be the first Victoria’s Secret girl with short hair,” Kloss told People.
“There are girls out there with every body type and there are girls out there with every hair type. You can be sexy with short hair!”
Besides her hair, Kloss also has a uniquely elegant runway walk due to her classical ballet training.
With her stunning body, unique look and powerful runway presence it is no surprise that Vogue named Kloss the 2012 model of the year.
Victoria’s Secret started designating their star models as “Angels” with the inaugural class of Helena Christensen, Stephanie Seymour and Tyra Banks in 1997.
The current roster of Angels includes Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Lindsay Ellingson and Erin Heatherton.
