Valentina Sampaio is feeling seen and celebrated after her inclusion in the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... where she made history as one of the first trans models to participate in the runway event.
We caught up with the Brazilian model following her big debut, and she made it clear the significance of her runway walk is not lost on her ... confessing the moment was "a dream come true."
She said ... "One that so many people told me, 'no.' That [the dream] would be impossible for me to ever realize -- [but] I just did."
Gisele Bündchendeclined an invitation from Victoria's Secret to come out of retirement and walk their runway in the return of their fashion show ... but it sounds like there are no hard feelings.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … VS invited Gisele to walk in last night's event, even though in 2020 she retired from runway shows.
Our sources say Victoria's Secret reached out to Gisele's camp back in June when the brand started casting the show ... and Gisele's team politely declined on her behalf, explaining she no longer wants to walk runways for shows.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned after a 6-year break, and the entertainment world made the most of it ... with tons of celebs getting together for the after-party, looking their best.

Ice Spice, Teyana Taylor, Coco Jones and Tyla headlined the musicians in attendance ... and their sexy and extravagant outfits will have you singing their praises.
Gigi Hadid had her very own 'Eras' tour moment during Tuesday's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... channeling bestie Taylor Swift's signature onstage move while on the runway.
Check it out ... the supermodel, who wore a pink satin number paired with matching oversized wings, stuck out her hip and raised her hand high above her ... the exact way the singer kicks off her record-breaking tour before breaking out into her hit, "Cruel Summer."
Gigi had teased her plans to pay homage to Taylor during the fashion show, previously telling Entertainment Tonight she was "trained by Taylor" to pull off a special trick ... but stayed mum on what exactly the gesture might be.
Suni Lee might be an Olympic hero, but she still gets starstruck when meeting her favorite artists ... 'cause the Team USA gymnast fangirled out while watching LISA at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show -- and then they hung out at the after-party!!

"Like, I'm obsessed with both of them," Lee told Olivia Culpo, who told her she just missed the K-pop superstar walking by and she looked "drop-dead gorgeous."
The Victoria's Secret Fashion show returned Tuesday night after a 6-year hiatus — and some of the sexiest models in the world hit the catwalk, including Irina Shayk, the Hadid sisters and Adriana Lima.
The star-studded event was held at NYC's Duggal Greenhouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and it kicked off with K-Pop singer Lisa performing "Moonlit Floor" and "Rockstar."
Lisa was followed by none other than Cher, who belted out a number of her famous tunes, notably "Believe" and "Strong Enough."
Gigi Hadid is dusting off her wings as the iconic Victoria's Secret Fashion Show makes its grand return after a 5-year break -- and she's got a little help from none other than Taylor Swift.
Chatting with ET while getting glammed up before the show in NYC Tuesday, Gigi spilled she’s got a little something extra planned for the runway -- a special trick her longtime buddy Taylor coached her on during one of Taylor's tour rehearsals.

Gigi kept the details under wraps, so it could be a dance move, a pose, or something else entirely. Either way, she mentioned she's not sure if anyone’s ever pulled it off on the VS runway before ... but she does know it's a fresh challenge for her.

We're told the thieves smashed a back window to gain entry, then stole two safes, multiple designer bags and a ton of jewelry.
El día de GiseleBündchen comenzó difícil.... un policía la detuvo en Florida y ella parecía bastante molesta, sobre todo cuando le entregaron la multa.
Mira el video; se ve a un oficial de la policía de Surfside deteniendo un Mercedes G-Wagon, y no cualquier G-Wagon, sino el de Gisele, uno que ella ha sido vista conduciendo mucho recientemente. De todos modos, finalmente se puede ver a Gisele en el interior y se ve muy emocional.
Si bien parece una parada de tráfico de rutina, Gisele le entrega al oficial algunos documentos y se dirige de nuevo a su carro patrulla para ejecutar la información... una situación bastante estándar, no es gran cosa.
Gisele Bündchen's day started out rough -- a cop pulled her over in Florida, and she seemed pretty upset over it all ... especially when he handed her a ticket.
Check out this video ... you see a Surfside PD officer pulling over a Mercedes G-Wagon, and not just any G-Wagon ... but Gisele's, one that she's been spotted driving a lot recently. Anyway, you can eventually see Gisele inside ... and she looks awfully emotional.
While it seems like a routine traffic stop ... Gisele hands the officer some documents and he heads back to his squad car to run the info -- a pretty standard situation, no real big deal.

It wasn't even a milestone birthday, but don't tell Patriots DT Davon Godchaux ... he gifted his fiancée Chanel Iman with a brand new Mercedes Benz G-Wagon for her upcoming 33rd birthday, and it literally brought the model to tears!
The 7-year NFL pro shocked Iman with the 4-wheeled gift on Tuesday -- three days before her actual birthday (December 1) -- and shared the surprise on his Instagram story.
You can see the bright blue whip, which starts around $140k, sitting in the driveway with a massive red bow on the hood ... as the Victoria's Secret Angel stood next to the Benz, smiling ear to ear.
"Thank you so much, honey!" Iman yelled. "This is the best gift ever! I love you!"
Chanel was super excited ... there was even dancing and some (very happy) screaming.
"She was crying lol," Godchaux said in the caption. "Big baby!"
Making the whole scene even sweeter ... the couple's little newborn daughter got to witness mom and dad's joy from the baby stroller.
"Happy early birthday to you baby! Thank you for always holding it down," Godchaux said.
"Real ones do real things."
Godchaux -- who signed an extension with the Pats last year -- and Iman went public with their relationship in 2022 ... before revealing they were having a baby in May.
