The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to New York City with a dazzling celebration of beauty, empowerment, and artistry. From iconic supermodels to surprise musical performances, the evening was a spectacle of fashion-forward elegance and bold self-expression.
A Star-Studded Runway
The show opened with a powerful moment as Jasmine Tookes, visibly pregnant, walked the runway in a barely-there gold beaded ensemble. She paused to cradle her baby bump, receiving a wave of cheers from the audience. Her walk set the tone for a night that celebrated all forms of femininity — including motherhood.
Following her were legendary angels Behati Prinsloo and Alessandra Ambrosio, both shimmering in gold. Alessandra’s dramatic wings and Behati’s flowing train added a regal flair to the opening segment.
The runway then lit up with appearances from fashion’s biggest names:
- Gigi Hadid stunned in a pink floral lingerie set with a voluminous feathery coat.
- Bella Hadid turned heads in both a white tasseled angel-winged look and a fiery red ensemble.
- Emily Ratajkowski wowed in a pastel pink two-piece with a sparkling prop that lit up the stage.
- Ashley Graham, representing body diversity, flaunted her curves in glittery black lingerie paired with massive black wings.
Music Meets Fashion
The night wasn’t just about fashion — it was a full-blown entertainment experience. Madison Beer kicked off the musical lineup with her hit “Bittersweet,” performing in a white angel corset that matched the ethereal vibe of the show.
Then came a historic moment: TWICE, the first K-pop girl group to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, took the stage in fluffy pink boots and sleek outfits. They performed “This Is For” and “Strategy” while models strutted past in cozy-chic loungewear from the brand’s PINK collection.
Later, Karol G brought Latin flair in a sheer white bodysuit with matching wings. She even joined the models on the catwalk, blending music and fashion seamlessly.
The grand finale featured none other than Missy Elliott, who descended from the ceiling in a sparkling black outfit. She performed a medley of her iconic tracks — “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” and “Lose Control” — as the models returned to the stage for a high-energy encore.
Diversity, Debuts, and Bold Statements
This year’s show embraced a wide spectrum of beauty and style. Angel Reese, the basketball phenom, made her VS debut in a pink lingerie set, making history as a rising star in both fashion and sports.
Newcomers Lila Moss and Barbie Ferreira brought fresh energy to the PINK segment, showcasing relaxed looks in gray and denim. Their presence highlighted the brand’s evolving commitment to inclusivity and comfort.
From sultry reds to angelic whites, the show’s color palette shifted throughout the night, reflecting different moods and themes. Bella Hadid’s red lingerie look, paired with devilish props, was a standout moment of bold sensuality.
A Finale to Remember
As Missy Elliott wrapped her performance, pink confetti rained down and the models gathered center stage for a final group shot. The energy was electric — a celebration of confidence, creativity, and the power of self-expression.
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show wasn’t just a return to form — it was a reinvention. With its mix of legacy icons, fresh faces, and genre-defying performances, the night proved that lingerie is more than fashion. It’s a statement.
