Gigi Hadid was overwhelmed with emotion after she scored a gig as the newest angel for Victoria's Secret.

In an Instagram post three days ago, Joe Jonas' girlfriend shared the moment when she was told that she's going to be part of Victoria's Secret lingerie fashion show.

The model wrote, "Couldn't keep back my tears!!!! Anyone that grew up with me knows that getting this show has been a dream of mine forever! THANK YOU @victoriassecret & @ed_razek! One of the happiest moments of my life. #vsfashionshow2015."

"I knew you would become a Victoria Secret Model!" one fan wrote. "I'm so happy for you ... you've worked your ass off to get where your at and you deserve it! Been a fan of yours for years. Congratulations Gigi!!!"

Another said, "Omg yesssss I love you so much !!!!!!!!!!! You definitely deserved it."

The good news about Gigi Hadid landing a gig for Victoria's Secret came on the heels of the Instagram post by Joe Jonas' girlfriend targeting body-shamers who criticized that her body type is not meant for high fashion.

"So many people are so quick to comment negative opinions this month," she wrote. "Yes, judgment on social media comes from people who, 99% of the time, have no idea what they are talking about, but I'm human, and I'm not going to lie, I did let the negativity get to me a little."

The criticisms against Joe Jonas' girlfriend came following her runway walk on Spring/Summer 2016 shows like Versace, Tommy Hilfiger and Jeremy Scott.

"I'm just doing my job," Gigi Hadid added. "I represent a body image that wasn't accepted in high-fashion before, and I'm very lucky to be supported by the designers, stylists, and editors that I am: one that know this is fashion, it's art; it can never stay the same. It's 2015. But if you're not one of those people, don't take your anger out on me."
