After all, why would she walk in her brother-in-law Kanye West’s fashion show if she doesn’t want to be a model?

“I didn’t get the show past year, but everything happens for a reason, and the timing feels really right”, she told Refinery29 of the rejection.
“She knows how much Kendall wanted to be a part of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and she can’t wait to see her strut her stuff on the catwalk”, the source close to the sisters continued.
Speaking to E! News ahead of her gig, she said: “It’s kind of odd to say it, but I’m more nervous about tripping or slipping than I am to be wearing lingerie”.
Now, Angolan model Maria Borges, 23, has made another meaningful step in regards to beauty standards for women of color. At the Spring/Summer 2016 Fashion Week shows, we spotted more models working natural hair – including rising star Lineisy Montero. At Tanya Taylor, Suno, Proenza Schouler, and Tome – to name a few – we saw a crop of black models rocking afro hair – quite the coup after seasons and seasons of weaves and wigs.
Meanwhile, despite her daughters being slammed with criticism over their image-obsession, Kris believes her famous family set a good example to young girls.
Congrats to Victoria’s Secret for allowing a black model to wear her natural hair and other models to wear their almost natural faces in 2015.

Speaking to Yahoo Style, she said: “My big secret is that I’m kind of a jock and would rather, sometimes, hang with the dudes and watch football, drink a beer and have a burger”. Gigi showed-off her sculpted physique in a pair of skin tight jeans which she wore over a fair tighter high-necked bodysuit.
