Best known for her work as a Victoria’s Secret lingerie model, the American model Martha Hunt started modeling for Victoria’s Secret in 2012 after being discovered by a photographer in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In 2013, she told Harper’s Bazaar how she was discovered. Growing up in a small town, Martha’s big break came when, at 18, she participated in a local modeling competition in Charlotte.
It all started when I went to this model search in Charlotte when I was 18. That’s when I met all these agents and realized I could do it, and I won! I met a photographer at the competition who persuaded me to sign with a different agency than the one that was offered to me. So, I started with a small agency and eventually moved up to IMG.
The 5’10″ (178 cm) blonde appeared in three Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows from 2013 to 2015 and became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in April 2015. She wears a shoe size 8.5 (US).
