Ebonee Davis

<p>Who says models don't smile? 2016 was Davis' breakout year with her Calvin Klein&nbsp;campaign and viral essay on how the <a href="http://meltsflow.com/culture/features/news/a16602/calvin-klein-model-ebonee-davis-racism-fashion-industry/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">fashion industry can help fight racism</a>, and she's kicking off the year with her very own <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BLWnBZYDXAw/?taken-by=eboneedavis" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">TED talk</a>.

Robin Holzken

<p>A new era of bombshells has arrived with Dutch stunner Robin Holzken leading the way. With all her work with Victoria's Secret in the last year, we won't be surprised if she turns up on their runway later this year.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/robinmarjolein/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">@robinmarjolein</a></p>

Stormi Bree

<p>While modeling might just be a side gig, for the singer, we can't deny her '90s bombshell appeal. Not to mention her coupling with male model star Lucky Blue Smith is sure to be this year's standard for #relationshipgoals.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stormibree/" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">@stormibree</a></p>

Chase Carter

<p>By her Instagram handle alone, it's easy to tell that this Bahamian beauty doesn't take herself too&nbsp;seriously—and that lends to why brands like Victoria's Secret have her on call.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilbabycheezus/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">@lilbabycheezus</a></p>

Zuri Tibby

<p>While she hasn't landed official Angel status yet, the Florida native is&nbsp;on her way there. She's the first black model to be named an ambassador for&nbsp;Victoria's Secret's PINK line and&nbsp;walked her first VS fashion show in Paris this year.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/angelzuri/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">@angelzuri</a></p>

Slick Woods

<p>There is certainly no one like Slick Woods (née Simone Thompson<span class="redactor-invisible-space">) in the modeling game right now. From her shaved head, to her gender-bending&nbsp;style and outspoken attitude,&nbsp;Woods is here to stay and push boundaries.&nbsp;</span></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/slickwoods/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">@slickwoods</a></p>
