Meet Estelle Chen, 17, the newest Asian face at Victoria's Secret 2017 show

Secret's out: Victoria's Secret (VS) has officially chosen their lineup for its biggest runway show of the year.

Among them is Estelle Chen, a French model of Chinese descent born in Paris. 

The 17-year-old is the only Asian face among the 15 other newly-minted VS models. 

She made the big annoucement on her Instagram account, thanking family, friends, fans and the Victoria's Secret team (of course) for their support.

The 1.75m-tall model is relatively new to the modelling scene. She started out in 2013 but has already walked for fashion powerhouses Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Elie Saab and Fendi.

Why is the Victoria's Secret gig a big deal? 

The VS show is considered the holy grail of modelling jobs and has the power to catapault a model into an overnight star. Just look at Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel - they all started out somewhere. 

It is no wonder all the newbies were freaking out on Instagram yesterday when they got the callback after casting call.
