Model makes hair history at Victoria's Secret runway show

For her third appearance in the Victoria's Secret runway show, Angolan model Maria Borges wanted to do something a little different.

"I told my agent I wanted to walk in the Victoria's Secret show with my natural hair," Borges told Essence. "I was nervous, but I had to do it. When they said 'yes,' I didn't expect it, but I was so happy!"

The fashion show is usually known for willowy models with flowing locks who strut the catwalk in skimpy lingerie fashions. But Borges opted instead to sport her afro, to the delight of natural hair fans.
