Victoria's Secret has crowned these three millennials as the sexiest stars on Instagram

Every year, lingerie behemoth Victoria's Secret distributes its "What Is Sexy List," in which it deems top celebrities (and certain cities) sexy. By Victoria's Secret standards, that's very sexy. After all, the company is known for its iconic Angels.

But this year, the retailer expanded its nominee list to feature three categories of social media stars: beauty, fashion, and fitness. Fans were able to vote for their favorite influencers. This is arguably a way for Victoria's Secret to boost its appeal to young people, as many millennials and Gen Z-ers look to these women for inspiration.

These are the three young women who won in those categories, according to a recent press release.
