I love her confidence. Her parents did an awesome job.❤

[@nubesdetulipanes]

You go Sofia!❤ You are such an inspiration for the community and for Puerto Rico🇵🇷

[@pervisgavin1730]

Puerto Rico- the other Mexico (except Mexicans actually have jobs)

[@Thaumic89]

Wonderful 👍

[@betweenthepoles]

So proud and confident. That’s a big part of what makes her beautiful. She is amazing!

[@duggydugg3937]

yup.. looks are only part of beautiful

RRRRRR

RRRRRRealy

[@celinescrappassion2184]

so happy for this young lady! I just pray that she remains safe in this environment and that she is not taken advantage of.

[@steveoh9285]

Good for her, not just another token but a hard working individual with a lot to offer. Go Sofia!

[@Make_Me_A_Sandwhich]

Token charity

[@stoicqueen8557]

How did you reach the conclusion that she isn't just another token? Get a grip dude

[@MamaLamaa]

She is so beautiful..😭 go rockstar she deserves it

[@erikas.1810]

I love this way to go Victoria secret and Sofia. I wish others would do the same regardless of a person’s disability

[@luvshak3095]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 A year later and whats happening? VS is bringing the sexy models back and kicking the hippos and retreads to the curb. Guess inclusivity doesn't pay as well.

[@gihankanishka]

good for her but we know well that VS is trying so hard to show that they are inclusive after all the backlashes

[@FriedPeaches-]

i was literally about to comment the same thing

[@jenniferromero571]

Why do they have to be inclusive?

[@celestialcircledance]

She's a pretty girl in her own right and I would honestly never know that she had Down Syndrome from looking at her .However if they were not trying to be inclusive, she doesn't have the proper proportions to be model material.

[@cigarettesandredlips]

@@jenniferromero571 how do they have the right not to be when they're advertising to us? heroin chic isn't cute anymore. we don't subscribe to starvation diets and skin bleaching. at the most superficial, it's best from a business standpoint because that shit is fucking boring and obviously terrible for you. if you don't see the moral reason, get into therapy to figure out what's wrong with your empathy.

[@titaroldan6513]

She is very pretty ❤️🇵🇷

[@robertstevensonjr3286]

I wish her all the success

[@severetiredamage6754]

…and she is 100% right. No limits! Don’t be afraid to dream big and work hard.

[@erinpilla]

I won't lie that I was at first like whaat? But I appreciate her being there. Many young women suffered eating disorders due to the industry pushing severely restrictive beauty standards. This young lady is a crack in that glass ceiling. One day, I hope there will be enough cracks to break it, and our young generation will learn to authentically be themselves rather than fit in to what we got used to

[@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred]

That sounds nice but it’s about selling underwear

[@Aethelhadas]

@@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred whats the problem with that? cause theyre all adults

[@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred]

People with down syndrome are known for being happy all the time, but some of them just pretend to be,and that should tell you everything and I am talking about adults

[@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred]

@@Aethelhadas the implications of this are extremely evil but you have to stop saying “so brave and powerful” long enough to understand why

[@Aethelhadas]

@@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred okay im completely open to understanding you but you didnt say any reasons as to why selling underwear is a bad thing. Youre gonna have to buy underwear somewhere.

[@kathleenh3695]

She’s absolutely gorgeous and adorable ❤️

[@samarycastro]

Omg I’m so proud of her! I remember seeing her on a program on TV and she’s so charismatic! So happy for her and wishing her much success!! WEEEPPPAA BORICUA! 👏💪🇵🇷
