New Victoria’s Secret Angel discovered in Charlotte

Aspiring models take note: One of the 10 newest Victoria’s Secret Angels is from North Carolina, and she told Vogue that she was discovered by a photographer she met in Charlotte.

Martha Hunt, a Wilson native, walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2013 and 2014.

And she’s friends with Taylor Swift? That’s awesome.

It’s Martha’s birthday and still technically Gigi’s birthday week! Wish I was with them! @GiGiHadid @iammarthahunt pic.twitter.com/89I8Oz2sGY
