Romee Strijd Victoria’s Secret casting dispute
Overview
Former Victoria’s Secret ‘Angel’ Romee Strijd has publicly criticized the brand following her exclusion from the 2026 fashion show. After preparing throughout the summer and auditioning in New York, the Dutch model expressed deep emotional distress and disappointment regarding the casting process.
Strijd specifically targeted the lack of clear communication from the brand and her agency. She described being kept on a ‘maybe list’ for weeks, only to be informed she was not a ‘good fit’ shortly before the event. She further highlighted a discrepancy in the timeline, noting that while Victoria’s Secret claimed the selection process had concluded for her representatives on September 6, she was still present at the casting on September 10.
Strijd stated, “I don’t like how I was treated” and “I don’t like how the whole process unfolded.” She indicated that the experience has been a closed chapter and she does not intend to participate in future Victoria’s Secret auditions.
