Carmen Carrera, a trans model, made her debut on The Real Housewives of Miami's seventh season as a friend of Kiki Barth. At the National LGBTQ+ Task Force Gala, she discussed her modeling career with Julia Lemigova, revealing she almost walked in the Victoria's Secret fashion show 10 years ago, but was denied due to a trans exclusion policy.
In 2013, a petition calling for Carmen Carrera to walk in the Victoria's Secret fashion show gathered over 50,000 signatures, but the brand did not respond. In 2024, Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani became the first trans models to walk the show.
Carrera expressed the importance of events like the National LGBTQ+ Task Force Gala, stating, "So, yeah, that's why we do things like this," indicating a commitment to advocacy and visibility for trans individuals.
Kiki Barth, speaking in a confessional segment, shared that while some viewers may recognize Carmen from Drag Race, she personally knows her for her modeling work and is grateful to have her in the group.
