Actor Priyanka Chopra is among seven women who have joined lingerie brand Victoria's Secret as it attempts an image makeover.

The lingerie brand is ditching its supermodels, or Angels as they were called, to focus on women empowerment, giving a platform to female athletes, activists and entrepreneurs.
It's new hires include football star Megan Rapinoe and transgender model Valentina Sampaio.

Criticized for its objectification of women, Victoria's Secret in 2019 abandoned its famed fashion show.

Victoria's Secret plans to resume its fashion show in 2022, but in a very different format, chief executive Martin Waters told the Times, adding that "we needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want."
