In our bullet-point world, worthy news often goes unreported. In November 2021, Valentina Sampaio became the new face of Armani Beauty, joining Cate Blanchett. The first-ever transgender Victoria’s Secret model, who made a big splash in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues of 2020 and 2021, began calling herself Valentina at age 12.

These Armani Beauty images of Valentina Sampaio appear in the February 2022 issue of Harper’s UK. Tilly Wheating styles Sampaio in ‘Bold Thinking’, clearly a quiet reference to the model’s trans status, as well as Armani-style ‘bold’ makeup.
