Filipino-Irish-British model Christina Nadin made history as the second Filipina to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, following Kelsey Merritt’s milestone debut in 2018.
Nadin made her runway debut in the PINK segment of the 2026 show at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 18 (Monday in Manila), wearing a pink bra embellished with shimmering heart details, a silver jacket, and black bell-bottom leggings.
“Secret’s out. Mum, I’m walking the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” Nadin shared on Instagram ahead of the event.
Runway coach Ian Mendajar also revealed that he trained Nadin for the highly anticipated fashion show, saying, “From virtual sessions to in-person training to the Victoria’s Secret runway. So grateful to be part of this journey!”
Born in Saudi Arabia, Nadin has Filipino roots through her mother, who hails from Legazpi, Albay, and Irish-British heritage through her father. She has also worked with brands including Sunnies Studios, Alo, Summer Fridays, and Rare Beauty.
