Every time Victoria's Secret gives a new Angel her wings, we immediately follow her on Instagram and study up. Such is the case with Elsa Hosk, a 26-year-old Swedeish model who got her wings this Spring. It turns out that Else is quirky and hilarious, and judging from her feed, likes a lot of the same things we do, including cats, iced coffee, sweet potato fries, and selfies.

Elsa's making her catwalk debut this year as an official Victoria's Secret Angel, but she's already walked her fair share of red carpets and four VS runway shows to date. In fact, she's been on the fashion scene for a lot longer than you might think, gracing the covers of Marie Claire, Elle, and GQ. But that's not the only reason we've got our eye on her. Read on to find 10 things you must know about Elsa before next week's big show.
