The iconic Victoria’s Secret show has made a triumphant comeback, bringing together in New York some of the most celebrated models of both past and present generations.

Once synonymous with unattainable beauty ideals, the brand now embraces diversity — celebrating different looks, ages, and body types.

The show opened with 34-year-old pregnant Jasmine Tookes, who captivated the audience in a nude-toned ensemble adorned with a golden mesh overlay and angel wings encrusted with pearls.

Among the legendary Angels returning to the runway were Gigi and Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Barbara Palvin.

Gigi Hadid showcased two striking looks: a soft pink floral ensemble and a classic white outfit complete with traditional wings.

Bella Hadid surprised fans by going back to her natural blonde hair. Many noted that the transformation gave her the aura of the iconic supermodels of the 1990s. The 29-year-old star presented several sultry, high-fashion looks — and, naturally, earned her own pair of coveted wings.

Victoria’s Secret also spotlighted the new faces of the fashion world: Iris Law, daughter of Jude Law; Lila Moss, daughter of Kate Moss; Barbie Ferreira; and transgender model Alex Consani all took to the runway.

Another notable debut came from 28-year-old Abby Champion, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter-in-law, who stunned in two looks: a violet-and-blue crystal-embellished set, and a dramatic black ensemble paired with a pink negligee and oversized wings.

So, whose appearance impressed you the most?

Recently, New York hosted the traditional Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Alongside Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks, and Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio made a triumphant return to the runway after a seven-year hiatus.

After the show, the 43-year-old supermodel, who became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2004 and left in 2017, shared a video with her followers, showcasing her workout routine and discussing her diet during her preparation for the highly anticipated comeback. Alessandra began exercising six days before hitting the runway.

«This is a unique experience and an absolutely unforgettable feeling—to realize that I’m once again part of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. I don’t think I ever expected this, but you know, life is full of surprises», — she says in the video as she heads to her outfit fitting for the show.

In the video, she also shows herself enjoying a light breakfast, which usually consists of eggs and avocado. Later, the model heads to her home gym, where she does cardio on a treadmill or goes for a run outdoors. In the gym, under the guidance of her personal trainer, Ambrosio works on her physique, performing squats and ab exercises. She pays special attention to her arms and legs.

After her workout, Alessandra usually «whips up a low-sugar protein shake», and for dinner, she prepares something lean and protein-rich, like salmon with asparagus.

Later, Ambrosio shared another video. In it, she visits a sauna, a beautician, and a beauty salon.

«Rejuvenating my soul», — the supermodel captioned the video.

The first Victoria’s Secret show in six years took place in New York, featuring both legendary supermodels who have long been brand ambassadors and fresh faces.

The show opened with Gigi Hadid, who appeared on the runway in a pink outfit with wings.

Her sister, Bella Hadid, also graced the runway — her second appearance after a long break due to Lyme disease. In September, Bella made a comeback at the Saint Laurent show.

Victoria’s Secret «Angels» who returned to the runway included Eva Herzigová, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Grace Elizabeth, Barbara Palvin, Taylor Hill, Behati Prinsloo, and Adriana Lima. Lima’s contract with the brand, by the way, spanned 18 years — from 2000 to 2018. During that time, she participated in 18 shows.

Meanwhile, this was a debut for Kate Moss and her daughter Lila, former French First Lady Carla Bruni, model Vittoria Ceretti, and plus-size model Ashley Graham in the brand’s lingerie show.

Tyra Banks, who was an Angel from 1997 to 2005 and appeared in nine shows, closed the show.

Musical performances were provided by Lisa from Blackpink, Tyla, and the legendary singer Cher.

Despite public calls for the brand to return to its previous show format, the result did not impress viewers. According to Daily Mail, many online reviews were negative, with critics targeting the direction, decorations, and «fake applause».
