Although fashion week had come to a close at the end of September, the real end of this runway did not come until last week as Victoria’s Secret laid out the pink carpet for the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. On October 15th, popular fashion retailer Victoria’s Secret held the 25th edition of their highly anticipated fashion show. This marks the second year the fashion show has been held since its return last year from a five-year cancellation since 2018. The event was able to be streamed live by the public for free on Victoria’s Secret social media platforms as well as on Amazon Video. With several new pieces presented and live musical performances, it is the brand that puts out all the stops to make this show one no one would want to miss.
Since its start in 1995, the runway show has been used as a way to market and promote the upcoming new arrivals to the Victoria’s Secret catalogue. There were eighty new looks presented at the show, each shown off by the various models (also known as angels) walking the runway in signature Victoria’s Secret angel wings of various shapes and sizes. The show started by showcasing the models decked out in royal gold wings and outfits before turning into a lush pink garden. Leading into some lacy red and purple lingerie that led into the very fun showcase of outfits from Victoria’s Secret brand Pink, which demonstrated more cozy loungewear as well. This was all capped off with a display of regal silver and black fashion pieces to close out the night.
Some notable angels who walked the runway that day were veterans to the stage, Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham, and sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid. Alongside them were also some new angels getting their wings, such as model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, as well as the introduction of the first professional athletes to become angels, WNBA star Angel Reese and Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee.
Victoria’s Secret fashion show isn’t complete, however, without their live musical acts. The show featured four musical performances this year. Artists such as Madison Beer and Karol G sang songs such as Bittersweet and Latina Forever. Also featured were the hit K-pop group Twice, who performed their hit songs such as Strategy live on stage as well. The last performer featured at the event was none other than the legendary Missy Elliot, who closed out the night.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show is a staple that, in its revival last year can maintain its steady momentum that it brought back to itself. With its excellent showmanship and design shown off we can expect next year to also be a stand-out show.
