17-7-2023 (KUALA LUMPUR) Malaysian model and actress Nia Atasha Rosli has become the first Malay model to grace the iconic lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret.
The 27-year-old shared the exciting news on her Instagram account, revealing that she will be featured in the #BeAuthenticBeYou campaign alongside Miss Universe Malaysia 2018 Jane Teoh and Thai model and actress Janie Tienphosuwan.
On July 4, Victoria’s Secret Malaysia launched its inaugural global campaign, focusing on women’s empowerment while showcasing the brand’s T-shirt bra collection.
During an interview with lifestyle magazine Eh Malaysia at the campaign launch, Nia Atasha expressed her gratitude at being chosen as one of the faces of Victoria’s Secret.
“It’s truly an honor. This is a tremendous opportunity. Ever since I started my modeling career, it has been a dream of mine to represent Victoria’s Secret or be a part of their campaign, and now it’s happening. The campaign will be displayed in all their international stores, and it’s a huge deal. I’m absolutely thrilled,” she exclaimed.
Nia Atasha later shared a video compilation of the launch on her Instagram, giving credit to her teams in Malaysia and the United States. She expressed her appreciation for the all-female production team, @womenphotographersmy, who contributed to creating the remarkable campaign.
“I want to extend my gratitude to the amazing teams in Malaysia and the US for being incredibly supportive and for giving me this opportunity. I still can’t believe it; it feels surreal,” she added.
Nia Atasha’s remarkable achievement has garnered a wave of congratulatory messages and well-wishes from her followers and prominent Malaysian celebrities, who recognize the significance of her representation for Malaysia on a global stage.
Unfortunately, not everyone has embraced her international success, with some critics suggesting that she should conform to conservative norms as a Muslim.
Hailing from Kuala Lumpur, Nia Atasha has been actively involved in modeling and acting since 2014. Her impressive portfolio includes collaborations with renowned international brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, and Calvin Klein.
