Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Returns With High-Profile Models
The iconic fashion event made a major comeback in Los Angeles, featuring prominent figures such as Gigi and Bella Hadid, alongside the return of veteran angels.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show made its highly anticipated return on October 18, 2024, at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, bringing back a celebrated spectacle to the fashion world. The event featured a star-studded lineup of prominent models and marked a significant revival for the brand's traditional runway presentation.
Among the major highlights of the evening, supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid both took to the runway. Bella served as the opening model, wearing a vibrant green look adorned with floral patterns and massive floral wings. Gigi later appeared during a performance by Canadian singer Tate McRae, sporting a striking sequined lingerie ensemble before both sisters returned to the stage in coordinated white angel looks.
The event also featured the debut of the estimated $50 million Fantasy Bra, worn by social media personality Kylie Jenner. The elaborate piece, crafted with natural diamonds and a 75.54-carat yellow diamond center stone, marked a traditional high point for the fashion show.
In addition to the Hadid sisters, the runway welcomed the return of several legendary figures and notable models. Ming Xi returned to the runway with a large golden sheer tulle wing after an eight-year absence. Veteran angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel also participated, showcasing multiple looks.
Other notable appearances included Barbara Palvin, who returned to the runway six weeks after giving birth to her daughter. The musical entertainment for the evening featured an all-female lineup, including Tate McRae, KATSEYE, Megan Thee Stallion, and Megan Moroney.
In separate luxury real estate developments connected to the family of the famous models, Australian billionaire James Packer reportedly purchased a Los Angeles property formerly owned by Gigi and Bella Hadid for $110 million. This acquisition coincided with the sale of Packer's own Beverly Hills estate for $60 million after it was initially listed for $85 million in 2023.
