Los Angeles fully embodied its “City of Angels” moniker as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (VSFS) 2026 took place in Culver City. Representing the Philippines as a special guest was Catriona Gray, who sat front row and witnessed the runway transform into lingerie heaven.
However, she wasn’t the only Filipina carrying the flag at the highly anticipated show. Model Christina Nadin descended on the VSFS stage for the first time, becoming the second Filipina to walk the brand’s coveted runway. Here are a few things to know about her.
Who Is Christina Nadin?
She is 31 years old.
Christina was born on March 7, 1995, to a Filipina mother and an Irish-British father. Although she was born in Saudi Arabia, she spent part of her childhood in the United Kingdom and often visits the Philippines. Her Filipino roots trace back to Legazpi, Albay, in the Bicol Region. Christina is currently based in Los Angeles.
She started modeling at 17 years old.
According to an interview with The Third World, Christina began traveling from Aylesbury to London for castings when she was just 17. “My parents were definitely skeptical in the beginning, as it is such a competitive industry and they wanted to protect me,” she said. Since then, she has established herself in the modeling industry.
She has a decorated sartorial resumé.
Christina has fronted campaigns for several globally renowned fashion brands, including Louis Vuitton, Kenzo, Kith, and Off-White. She has also modeled for Philippine-based brands such as Sunnies Studios, BETTERHAIR, and Belo Medical Group.
She is the second Filipina to walk for Victoria’s Secret.
Christina walked in the PINK Halftime Show at the VSFS 2026, wearing pieces from the brand’s more playful, youthful line. She donned a pink brassiere bedazzled with hearts, paired with a metallic silver jacket. Her low-rise sequined pants also highlighted her intimate apparel.
Eight years before Christina’s recent feat, Filipino-American model Kelsey Merritt also walked for Victoria’s Secret PINK.
She is a brand founder.
Outside of modeling, Christina runs Bahay Kubo, her Los Angeles-based brand. According to its website, the brand was inspired by her mother, “who effortlessly completed her '90s looks with statement hair pieces.” It offers “elevated hair accessories” crafted from premium materials such as mulberry silk.
