Victoria's Secret has given wings to 10 new Angels after news of Karlie Kloss retiring her own wings came earlier this year.
"MAJOR NEWS: we're adding 10 new models to our Angel roster!" the Victoria's Secret Instagram gushed as it welcomed them by tagging them.

In Honor Of International Dance Day 2015, Here Are 8 Movies To Watch In the video below, the 10 models that have reached Angel status are shown as they all have previously walked in Victoria's Secret fashion shows. VS officially contracted Kate Grigorieva, Taylor Hill, Elsa Hosk, Martha Hunt, Jac Jagaciak, Stella Maxwell, Lais Ribeiro, Sara Sampaio, Romee Strijd and Jasmine Tookes! As part of getting to know the new Angels better, the VS Instagram shared a snippet of information about each of the newly winged models. Grigorieva hails from Russia and walked in her first VS fashion show last year. She's also "an accomplished ballroom dancer." That agility will surely continue to come in handy on the future VS catwalks.
This Russian beauty is an accomplished ballroom dancer—we know she'll kill it as an Angel! Welcome, @_kate_g_!! #TheNewestAngels A photo posted by Victoria's Secret (@victoriassecret) on Apr 28, 2015 at 6:52am PDT
