Nanabah Grace walks the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
The Diné and bilagáana model joined the 2026 show in Los Angeles, adding to a career that spans fashion runways and television.

Nanabah Grace walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles on Oct. 18.
The Diné and bilagáana model and actor, who is from southwest Colorado and based in Los Angeles, joined the brand’s 2026 runway cast.

Indigenous models have previously worked with Victoria’s Secret. In 2023, Quannah Chasinghorse appeared in its My Wings, My Way campaign, photographed wearing the brand’s archival wings. Fashionista reported that the campaign featured the cast of The Tour ’23, the filmed special released that September. That work is distinct from an appearance in the annual runway show.
Nanabah, who grew up in Cortez, Colorado, first modeled with local photographers as a hobby in high school. She signed with IMG Models in November 2021, according to a December 2024 interview with The Journal. Her first runway show was for Jacquemus in Hawaii in March 2022, while she was still a college student.
“High school me is definitely screaming,” she told The Journal in that interview, reflecting on her career.
Her work has since included Ralph Lauren and an acting role in Netflix’s American Primeval. In a 2025 interview with Grand Canyon University, where she earned a degree in behavioral health science, Nanabah spoke about the unexpected turn from her college plans into modeling and acting.
