For decades, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show shaped the mythology of modern glamour, an annual spectacle where fantasy met the runway. After a four-year hiatus, Victoria’s Secret returned to New York with a declaration less about illusion and more about self-definition. The brand that once built an empire on wings now steps into its renaissance, embracing authenticity, individuality, and the unapologetic power of women rewriting the narrative on their own terms.

In 2025, the show arrived not as a revival but as a reimagining — sleek, cinematic, and emotionally charged. Gone were the ornamental wings; in their place rose six immersive worlds — First Light, Bombshell, PINK Halftime Show, Hot Pursuit, Magic Hour, and Black Tie. Each of the show’s segments was like a portal into today’s multifaceted womanhood. With performances, silhouettes, and storytelling entwined, the night culminated in a finale both intimate and triumphant, ushering in Victoria’s Secret’s bold new era.

A constellation of runway powerhouses — Gigi and Bella Hadid, Irina Shayk, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Jasmine Tookes, Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Liu Wen — returned to reclaim the stage, joined by standouts like Anok Yai, Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, and rising star Abény Nhial. This year also marks a historic moment as Two-Time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese makes her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut, becoming the first-ever professional athlete to walk the most iconic runway in fashion and entertainment.

Music royalty — Madison Beer, TWICE, Karol G, and Missy Elliott — ignited a vividly charged atmosphere with performances that remain an intrinsic signature of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, shaping a runway where sound, beauty, and narrative pulse as one: unmistakably modern and undeniably iconic.

The night opened in an atmosphere of ethereal calm. The runway glowed in soft blush and warm gold hues as Jasmine Tookes — radiant and expectant — led the show’s tender awakening. She opened in a smooth plunge demi bra and strappy thong, layered beneath a custom gold macramé dress with pearl drops and clam-shell crystal wings that glimmered like dawn. The radiance continued as Adriana Lima appeared in a low-cut demi bra and thong beneath a sheer crystal catsuit, framed by dramatic brass wings. 

Doutzen Kroes followed in a strapless bra and thong under a hand-beaded mesh dress, paired with a gold-leaf wing bustier — a luminous blend of shimmer and structure. Alessandra Ambrosio brought understated boldness in an embroidered teddy and V-string set, finished with an embellished bra, brass belt, and wings. Candice Swanepoel contrasted lace sensuality with a crystal chest piece and gold brass wings, while Lily Aldridge closed in a lace balconette bra and thong beneath an embellished slip, gold-dipped gloves, and a halo headpiece.

If “First Light” was breath, “Bombshell” was heartbeat — lush, hyper-feminine, and unapologetically flirty. With Madison Beer performing “Make You Mine,” “Bittersweet,” and “Yes Baby,” her sultry vocals layered over opulent runway movement set the tone: confident, electric, alive. On the runway, Gigi Hadid stunned in a twinkle-lace cami and shortie set, layered with an oversized peony-petal opera coat that fluttered like blossoms in a soft breeze — bold yet wistful in pink. Paloma Elsesser embodied strength in a “Dare to Dream” lace strappy teddy and Brazilian panty, paired with sculptural pink peony wings. 

Anok Yai brought high glamour in a Dream Angels Atelier demi set with a bridal-inspired garter belt and thong, crowned by a pearl-fountain and pink fringe headpiece shimmering like a cascade. Irina Shayk cut a sultry silhouette in a sheer-bow strapless corset and bikini panty, finished with a crystal fan headpiece. Rising stars Angel Reese Abény Nhial, Angelina Kendall, Precious Lee, Awar Odhiang, and Devyn Garcia enriched the spectacle with striped shine bras, crystal chain dresses, peony shoulder pieces, crystal wings, and lace-trim sets. Together, they transformed “Bombshell” into a celebration of diversity, sensuality, and glamour in many forms.

A tonal pivot became a celebration of play. When TWICE transformed the runway into a kinetic burst of color with “This is For” and “Strategy,” the mood snapped from dreamy to delightfully bold — blending K-pop precision with a collegiate-energy attitude. On that spirited runway, Lila Moss embodied youthful irreverence: she wore Campus cotton long-sleeve tee, ivy fleece Campus full-zip hoodie, and PINK panty with custom headpiece, channeling a rebellious, fashion-forward energy. 

Sunisa Lee and Iris Law joined the surge — dressed in the glossy, playful styling of the PINK Halftime segment: think sporty mixes, soft textures, and bold silhouettes that nodded to both comfort and couture. Meanwhile, Barbie Ferreira brought bold confidence in a vivid set that juxtaposed classic lingerie cut with street-style swagger, proving that sexy could be cheeky and fun. 

Not far behind, faces like Marina Moioli, Ashlyn Erickson, Gabriela Moura, Yoon Young Bae, and Valentina Castro — plus a dynamic walk from Devyn Garcia — radiated diversity in body type, ethnicity, and style, each bringing their own spin: from sporty-chic to edgy glamour. In this segment, the runway became a playground of freedom — movement, mood, and identity. Oversized varsity vibes, bubble textures, glittered irreverence, and bold color collided to reimagine what “sexy” can look like today: youthful, playful, and unapologetically alive.

Hot Pursuit roared in like a blood red moon over the black night skies. With Karol G powering the runway to “Ivonny Bonita” and “Latina Foreva,” the segment crackled with Latin rhythms and fearless edge — a pulse of seduction in motion. Bella Hadid opened in a smooth push-up bra and rose-lace high-leg thong, layered beneath a Balloon-Hem Organza trench coat that shimmered like liquid metal — a sleek fusion of lingerie and street attitude. Stella Maxwell followed in a custom chainmail T-shirt dress, its glimmering surface paired with shimmer “wall wings” that gave her a warrior-like silhouette. 

Liu Wen added gothic allure in an unlined lace Balconette bra and lace bikini panty, styled with a rose-lace PJ set and matching wings. Irina Shayk stepped out in a wicked lace Balconette bra and thong panty beneath a matte-jersey twist dress, finished with a sheer bustle wing — elegance edged with danger. Yumi Nu closed in a lace push-up bra and Brazilian panty under a patent-feather cape coat, dramatic and fierce. In Hot Pursuit, lingerie became armor — sensuality fused with speed, strength with seduction — the runway pulsing like a racing heartbeat.

When twilight deepened into a cinematic transition, the Magic Hour segment unfolded as a collage of remixed classics — a textured soundtrack weaving from nostalgic ballads to pulsing pop. Under those dusky lights, sensuality and soft shimmer took center stage. Emily Ratajkowski floated down the runway in a twinkle-lace demi-bra and V-string panty, framed by an embellished orchid wing glowing like sunset. Behati Prinsloo followed with ethereal allure in a Dream Angels push-up slip layered over a twinkle-lace demi bra and Brazilian panty, her ombré-silk wing trailing like twilight. 

Xiao Wen Ju added modern softness in a twinkle-lace push-up bra and strappy Brazilian panty beneath a crystallized mesh “naked” dress — delicate yet bold. Blésnya Minher shimmered in a crystal-mesh mini dress with paillette-flower detail and lace panties, catching light like early stars. Angelina Kendall, Neelam Gill, Sherry Shi, Awar Odhiang, and Devyn Garcia enriched the tableau in twinkle-lace bras, Brazilian panties, floral chest pieces, chiffon slips, and delicate wings — a mosaic of textures and tones. Magic Hour became a twilight reverie, celebrating sensual nostalgia, reinvention, and self-illumination under glowing hues and soft soundscapes.

High-voltage glamour defined Black Tie as the runway, styled like chrome under moonlight, pulsed with dramatic energy and couture-grade seduction. Candice Swanepoel opened in a twinkle-lace push-up bra and Brazilian panties, her look elevated by crystal garters, VS-monogram thigh-highs, and chiffon draped wings that shimmered with every step. Anok Yai followed in an Angel-shine strap push-up set and crystal-logo thigh highs, styled with a crystal-chain top, perfume-bottle earrings, and a garter — luminous and commanding. 

Ashley Graham brought confidence in a lightly lined demi bra and sparkle thong, paired with lace boyshorts and dramatic faux-feather wings. Paloma Elsesser wore a wicked rose-lace apron set with a push-up bra and high-leg cheeky panty, accented by crystal starburst earrings for subtle glamour. Legacy icons — Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Maty Fall, and Liu Wen — transformed the runway into a masterclass in seduction. Satin camis, corsets, lace, crystals, thigh highs, and couture wings fused lingerie with high-fashion attitude, creating a nocturnal gleam of elegance, edge, sensuality, and strength.

 Show Finale

The finale struck with the force of a reclamation. Music surged as the show’s headliner, the Queen of Rap & Hip Hop and multi‑Grammy winner Missy Elliott, took the stage, and the full cast of super-models flooded the runway in a wave of energy that felt both modern and monumental. This was no nostalgic revival—it was a manifesto. Victoria’s Secret stepped forward not as the architect of fantasy but as the curator of evolution, presenting a vision shaped by authenticity, diversity, and self-defined sensuality. A brand reborn, illuminated from within.

As the lights dimmed, the lingering impression was one of collective becoming—a chorus of women shaping their own narrative in real time. The show closed not with spectacle for spectacle’s sake but with a declaration of presence: bold, unfiltered, and intentionally human. In this new era, Victoria’s Secret embraces complexity over perfection, inviting the world to witness a transformational shift where confidence, identity, and desire move wholly on their own terms.
