Believe it or not, it’s been six years since the supermodel set fluttered their angel wings for the last Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Once an annual affair, the show was cancelled in 2019 following a number of controversies. But tonight — after restructuring the entire executive team and hiring a new CEO, Hillary Super — the iconic presentation returned to the runway at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York. At the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, legendary Angels like Adriana Lim, Candice Swanepoel, Jasmine Tookes, Gigi Hadid, and Tyra Banks (to name a few) donned their VS best for the comeback of the century — marking the start of an exciting new era for the famed brand.
In true Victoria’s Secret fashion, the live runway show was an extravagant soirée complete with jaw-dropping struts and performances alike. Following in the footsteps of former VS performers like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Tyla, and Cher served as this year’s star-studded soundtrack. The first model to open the runway was Hadid in a satin pink romper and larger-than-life angel wings that expanded half-way down the catwalk. Shortly after the Guest In Residence founder’s debut, Paloma Elsesser took the stage in a matching baby pink slip dress and sparkly fringe-embellished wings. Then, as the set changed to a sultrier tone, Kate Moss surprised fans in a lacy see-through dress and feathery wings to the tune of “I Love Rock N’ Roll.” The unexpected appearances continued as Alessandra Ambrosio, Irina Shayk, Bella Hadid, and Tyra Banks closed out the 45-minute presentation.
All this to say? The Tuesday evening event was undeniably packed with Angels, of the past, present and future. Keep scrolling for close-ups of all the major models who walked the runway.
