This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show started off as a blast. It was everything fans hoped for and more. From bold debuts to emotional returns, stunning looks, and powerful performances, the 2025 show blended glamour and high-energy spirit.
The show kicked off with Jasmine Tookes, who proudly showed off her 9 month baby bump in a netted gown with seashell-inspired wings. It was a powerful and luminous opening, setting the tone for a night dedicated to celebrating confidence and individuality.
This year’s runway looks were nothing but breathtaking. The models wore custom-made Rene Caovilla heels featuring sparkling crystals and the designer’s signature “stardust sole.” Each pair was designed to complement Victoria’s Secret’s dreamy, ethereal ensembles.
Gigi and Bella Hadid once again dominated the catwalk, each showing off not one, but two jaw-dropping looks. Gigi stunned the crowd with a bubblegum-pink set before slipping on her classic white angel wings. Bella turned heads in a red, billowing shawl and later shimmered in a crystal-covered look that had the crowd in awe.
Model Devyn Garcia had her own unforgettable moment when her pastel wrap got caught on her shoe, but she laughed it off without missing a beat, charming everyone watching and earning massive cheers from the audience.
Olympic gymnast Suni Lee made her runway debut during TWICE’s performance, strutting confidently in a PINK look that perfectly captured her bright energy. Also from the sports world, WNBA star Angel Reese made headlines as she officially “got her wings”, twirling on the runway to roaring applause.
Makeup legend Pat McGrath created glowing, dewy skin looks with intense highlights that popped under the runway lights. “We’re doing fabulous highlighter — the best in the world — on the cheeks and even the Cupid’s bow,” McGrath said backstage. The result? Every model gleamed like a real-life angel.
The musical lineup this year was all-female and all fire. Madison Beer opened the night with a soft yet powerful medley, wearing a pink corset and angel wings as models glided around her. K-pop queens TWICE became the first girl group from Korea to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, lighting up the stage with hits as models strutted in playful pink and black outfits. Karol G brought pure heat to the runway in a glittering red catsuit with a dramatic slit skirt, performing amongst a sea of red-clothed models before putting on her own set of wings. And closing up the show, Missy Elliott stormed the runway in a sparkling all-black outfit, performing “Work It” to a loud ovation from the crowd.
Behind the scenes is where the excitement continued. Barbie Ferreira, making her Victoria’s Secret debut, said, “It’s game day. We’ve got to win the game.” She lit up the runway during TWICE’s set in a playful PINK outfit. Meanwhile, Barbara Palvin walked the show on a half-healed foot after an injury, cheered on by husband Dylan Sprouse, who wore a yellow ribbon for endometriosis awareness in her honor.
The Grand Finally started as confetti rained down, with Jasmine Tookes, Gigi Hadid, Alex Consani, and Imaan Hammam led the final walk. The runway was filled with color, music, and celebration as all the models took one last lap, waving to the cheering crowd. And if one thing’s clear, the Angels are officially back and better than ever.
