The Victoria's Secret runway is back and it's bolder than ever. On October 15, the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show took over New York City with a star-studded lineup of global supermodels including Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, and Anok Yai. The highly anticipated show streamed live on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Amazon Prime Video, marking a glamorous comeback for the iconic lingerie brand.
Performances by Karol G, Madison Beer, Missy Elliott, and K-pop sensation TWICE added a musical sparkle to the dazzling night. But the real showstopper was the energy on the runway. Models strutting in intricate lingerie designs, shimmering wings, and bold confidence that reignited the brand's once-fading flame.
Gigi Hadid shared a tender pre-show moment, posting her daughter Khai's lunchbox with the caption, "VS Show mornings look a lil different nowadays." It was a sweet reminder of how motherhood and modeling now coexist in her life. Fellow model Anok Yai revealed her intense preparation, comparing training for the runway to an athlete's discipline. "I've been getting my ass handed to me seven days a week," she joked online, admitting she wanted her back strong enough to carry the show's signature wings.
The energy behind the curtain was electric. Models described this year's show as more empowering and inclusive than ever. "I've never felt more sexy in my life," Yai added, hinting that the brand has evolved from its once-criticized beauty ideals.
One of the most inspiring stories came from WNBA star Angel Reese, who made her debut appearance, declaring, "I manifested this moment." Her presence symbolized the brand's new vision: celebrating women of all shapes, shades, and strengths.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's return proved that even after years of rebranding struggles, the Angels still know how to soar with glitter, grace, and a message of empowerment.
