Victoria's Secret, a well-known lingerie brand in the United States, has unveiled a new lineup of partners, which has triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.
The reason is that the style of this Victoria's Secret selection is very different, even can be said to be completely different from the past
The most familiar is Indian actress and singer Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who began her career in Bollywood as a Miss India and Miss World Universe winner, but has also made a name for herself in Hollywood.

Victoria's Secret, which once presented the concept of the perfect body to a global audience, has in the past been accused by opponents of promoting unhealthy and unrealistic body standards and creating body anxiety based on the male gaze and expectations.
Since 2016, Victoria's Secret's situation has declined year by year and even declared bankruptcy.
And now, the new Victoria's Secret has stopped selling the sex appeal of male fantasy, and completely bid farewell to the era of supermodel angels.
From these choices, it can be seen that Victoria's Secret has moved away from the past, not as much as the past to showcase the body of the spokesperson, but more like shaping a new female community.
Because the reasons for choosing them are not outward looking as in the past, but more "inclusive".
They come in all shapes and sizes, races, walks of life, countries. "Working with them will bring content that truly encourages women into the brand's culture to create more revolutionary collections that truly meet women's needs," Victoria's Secret said.
Stopping the anxiety created by the patriarchal gaze of society, allowing women to follow their own hearts and accept themselves as they are, is clearly a crucial issue at the moment.
So reformed Victoria's Secret, but even more "sexy".
In addition to Victoria's Secret, more and more cameras are starting to focus on showing real women.
