In New York, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Victoria’s Secret held its long awaited fashion show on Oct. 15 after a six-year hiatus starting in 2018 and a disappointing 2024 fashion show. Facing a declining viewership and continuous scandals, this year’s fashion show really put the bomb in bombshell and caused an uproar in the media.
The event was co-hosted by the iconic stylist Lawrence Roach and fashion journalist Zanna Rassi. The pair kept the pre-show lively with interviews featuring notable guests, like Victoria Secret Executive Creative Director Adam Selman, CEO Hilary Super and notable celebrities, such as the actor Cole Sprouse
The show itself was filled with brilliant visuals, gorgeous models and stunning performances from various artists, such as Madison Beer, TWICE, Karol G and Missy Eliot. Each had their own flare adding color to the show both metaphorically and literally. Each section of the show showed off various categories of color and sexiness. For instance, Madison Beer’s performance entailed a sultry and feminine atmosphere as she sang “Bittersweet” and “Make you mine.” The category featured outfits full of pink, bringing out the tenderness and love from sexuality. Even Beer herself wore a soft pink and bejeweled fitted corset with feathery wings.
The show had a variety of models who added their own wonderful flavor and individual beauty. Legendary model Adriana Lima wore two looks that revealed her maturity and time she has spent in the profession. Her second outfit in particular was a real eye-catcher. It took place during the black lingerie portion of the show; she wore a lace body-suit and giant silver wings to complete the angelic look.
Another model, who is new to the game yet plays strong, is Anok Yai. She also wore two stunning looks. Yai wore a matching bra and underwear set with a sliver-fishnet studded shrug. This look fit Anok’s features perfectly; the outfit’s simplicity allowed her beauty to do most of the talking.
Two other models to note are Olympic gymnast Suni Lee and WNBA player Angel Reese who made history by walking the runway this year. Lee appeared in a casual yet glamorous and colorful, sporty outfit during the Class of Pink 2025 portion and TWICE performance. Angel Reese had two jaw-dropping pink outfits, but her best was the floral lingerie set with a furry, rosy shawl, worn with amazing confidence.
It is obviousVictoria’s Secret has redeemed themselves from previous shows and achieved a night full of glamor and diversity. While the show this year was not their most impressive work, it definitely was a spectacle worth seeing.
