Watch: Gigi Hadid Thrilled to Walk Runway With Kendall Jenner

Let's get ready to runway!

Tuesday night is the night where Gigi Hadid will accomplish a long-time dream when she walks in the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Hours before showtime, E! News got to sit-down with the blond beauty backstage. To say she is excited would be quite the understatement.

"We're in the pink flowy room of happiness. It's so exciting. I've been watching this since I was a kid and during commercial breaks, practicing my runway walk in my room and this is insane," she told E! News exclusively. "It's great to have an actual dream actually come true."

She continued, "It's so crazy because this is what made me want to be a model. These are the girls that I looked up to my whole life. To be in it with them and get to see what they're pros at in real life is amazing."

What makes this night extra special for Hadid is the added bonus that she can experience it all with her "bestie" Kendall Jenner.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has been by her close friend's side as they both experience nerves and excitement.

"When we found out we were doing it together, there's nothing else I could ask for except doing it with Kendall. We're just so excited," she told E! News. "We're so nervous and we were texting this morning, ‘Are you as nervous as I am?' We met up and talked about our walks and just planned it out in our heads."

While younger sister Bella Hadid will be working Tuesday night and unable to see the show in person, Gigi knows that she also has plenty of family support.

"She is so excited that her boyfriend [The Weeknd] is in the show and I think that she loves the show as much as I do," Gigi explained. "Growing up, I used to make her watch the show with me. She was bawling crying when I got a spot. She's so happy for me and so supportive and she's the best."

Hadid and Jenner aren't the only new faces gracing the famous runway before the holidays.

Pink's resident spokesmodel Rachel Hilbert hasn't walked the VS runway until this year. Martha Hunt and Stella Maxwell are also part of the ten new Angels who will join Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Behati Prinsloo in New York City.
