The wings are back, Divas, and they have never looked more glorious! We were front and center at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, New York, on October 15 for the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and let me tell you, it was a spectacular, high-energy declaration that beauty is in its brilliant era of unapologetic diversity.

The energy in the room was electric, and we were absolutely buzzed to be there. This year’s show was a breathtaking “love letter to women,” and the cast proved that the runway is finally catching up with the world we live in.

Body Inclusivity and Global Glamour Reign Supreme

Joan Smalls

What truly set this show apart—and had us on our feet cheering—was the undeniable push for body inclusivity and global representation. The casting was a masterclass in modern beauty, proving that confidence comes in every size, shape and background.

Jasmine Tookes

Supermodels like the incomparable Joan Smalls and a very pregnant Jasmine Tookes returned, bringing their signature power and grace.

Angel Reese

But the real buzz was around the newcomers and curve models, like the phenomenal Precious Lee, who brought pure, unadulterated slay to every look. Plus, WNBA star Angel Reese made history as the first professional athlete to walk, radiating confidence and strength.

Awar Odhiang

New Angels Anok Yai and Awar Odhiang further cemented the show’s commitment to high-fashion Black models.

Adriana Lima

The show welcomed a stunning roster of Latina talent. The return of the legendary Adriana Lima was a moment in itself, but the new guard shone just as brightly. We celebrated with the crowd for Valentina Castro, who made history as the first Colombian model to walk the VS runway. And don’t forget plus-size model Paloma Elsesser, who set that runway ablaze!

Suni Lee

The Asian representation was phenomenal. We were captivated by the return of trailblazer Liu Wen, the first Chinese model to walk the runway, and the mesmerizing Neelam Gill, the brand’s first Punjabi model. Debutantes like Japanese-American curve model Yumi Nu and Laotian-American Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee, who was repping for the petite gals, were part of the PINK Class of 2025, showcasing the brand’s commitment to diverse body types and backgrounds.

Performers That Blew The Roof Off!

What’s a VS Fashion Show without a killer music lineup? Missy Elliott absolutely shut down the house, bringing down the energy with her iconic medley of “Get Ur Freak On” and “Work It.” Seriously, the crowd went WILD!

Karol G

Multi-talented Karol G not only performed her hit “Ivonny Bonita” but then walked the runway solo in a stunning red lingerie ensemble with wings in a true Diva moment.

TWICE

K-pop group TWICE lit up the PINK Halftime show, and Madison Beer was angelic perfection, showcasing the soft and seductive side of the brand.

Victoria’s Secret didn’t just bring back a fashion show; they debuted a true movement. This was a spectacle of fashion, music, and—most importantly—inclusion that felt authentic and right on time. We’re already counting down to 2026!
