If you are a beauty lover, you may already know Emira D’Spain, popular as 'XOXO Emira' online. While the creator is already an internet obsession, she is currently making the headlines and history, being Victoria's Secret's first black transgender model. The rising star slipped into a red lace corset from the lingerie brand and announced her collaboration. "Honored to be the first black trans girl working with @victoriassecret ❤️ — As a kid I only DREAMED of being a part of Victoria’s Secret. @valentts paved the way and it’s such an honor to continue that legacy on the first day of black history month," reads her caption. In 2019, Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio made history as the first transgender woman ever to work with VS for the brand's 'PINK' line. A quick scroll on Emira's social media pages shows the 25-year-old's sensational style and love for emerging beauty trends. Emira was reportedly born in Dubai, raised in Dallas and currently lives in New York City. She gained a loyal following while creating 'Get Ready With Me' videos online. Thanks to her glamorous looks, she racked up thousands of followers. The beauty lover kicked off Black History Month (celebrated annually from February 1 to March 1) as the first Black transgender model to work with Victoria's Secret as a part of their Valentine's Day social campaign. The announcement came amid the brand's effort to revamp its image following years of controversies. (All photos: Emira D’Spain/ Instagram)
