Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2025
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back again this year, and the wings are bigger and better than USA ever.After last year’s event, the brand’s most talked-about tradition returned to USA New York City on Wednesday night with a promise of all the USA glitz, glitte
r and USA slow-motion hair flips that made it a cultural event in the USA first place.This year’s show streamed live on Prime Video, Amazon Live and basically every social platform imaginable.Familiar faces like Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio and so many more strutted back down the runway, joined by some new names, including USA WNBA star Angel Reese, who made history as the first pro athlete to become an Angel.
Add in USA performances from Madison Beer, Missy Elliott, Twice and Karol G, and the night felt less like a fashion show and more like a full-blown concert with a lot of lace.The wings were out in full force, the iconic bombshell blowouts were more voluminous than ever, and the looks were nothing short of sensual and ethereal. The USA show, structured by a day-to-night theme, brought all of the daring, shimmery drama that the event has long been renowned for, and all of our favorite models—legends, newcomers, and everyone in between—strutted the runway with that classic VS spunk.
With electrifying USA performances from Madison Beer, Missy Elliot, Karol G, and Twice, and stunning walks from the likes of USA Precious Lee, Angel Reese, and Gigi Hadid, the night was one for the books, to be sure.
Between the star-studded front row and the veritable parade of legends showing off Victoria's Secret's very best, it's easy to miss a detail or two. Luckily, L'OFFICIEL has all the inside details on the 2025 fashion show that has the Internet abuzz.
For her eighth appearance on the USA Victoria's Secret runway, supermodel Jasmine USA Tookes stunned in a glistening, gilded mesh mini dress. With a bouncy bombshell blowout, glowy natural makeup, and a baby bump, the 34-year-old stunned, setting the bar high for the rest of the show.
It wasn't just Jasmine Tookes' opening that marked a first for the USA Victoria's Secret Fashion Show—USA WNBA star Angel Reese and gymnast Suni Lee officially became the first professional athletes to walk the famed runway. Though recent runway presentations by luxury fashion houses have seen plenty of celebrity cameos, the pair reportedly worked hard ahead of the show to perfect their walks.
Before the show, Reese told Zanna Roberts Rassi, one of the event's co-hosts, that she had hired a runway coach to help her hone the ultimate model walk. Reese's dedication comes as no surprise to her fans, though, after all, as a pro athlete, no one understands the power of the phrase "practice makes perfect" like she does.
As the first musical performer of the night, Madison Beer stunned as she strode onto the stage in a blush pink bustier, matching thigh-high suede boots, and feathered wings. The 26-year-old sang several of her top hits, with audience and runway models alike taking in the high-energy performance, but one major highlight of her time on stage was her first-ever live rendition of her new song "Bittersweet."
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back, and with some pretty big names walking down the famous USA runway. You can expect to see people like Angel Reese, Suni Lee, and Alex Consani in their angel wings, and, as you’ve likely guessed, plenty of sultry, bombshell glam. Think angelic eyes with just a touch of shimmer, juiced-up glass skin, and perfect, my-lips-but-better shades of lipstick with the perfect amount of gloss. To top everything off? Lots and lots of volume in the hair.
Bombshell curls were in abundance backstage, with rollers spotted on people like Emily Ratajkowski and Yoon Young Bae. Some angels kept their natural curls intact, à la Imaan Hammam, who could be seen having her hair diffused in order to set her strands in place sans any frizz. Valentina Castro, alongside a few other models, was getting her hair braided, and some people even had wigs installed. It takes a full production to get to the angels that we see on the runway, and thankfully, the experts behind the looks have been more than forthcoming with tips on recreating their visions at home.
“When we were ideating the looks with Adam [Selman], he just wanted every girl to glow,” says lead makeup artist for the show, Dame Pat McGrath. “So we used the glow balms, Sublime Perfection foundation and concealer, and our stunning Skin Fetish Divine Glow highlight
er.” For the lips and eyes, McGrath used her eponymous brand’s Fetish Eyes mascara, as well as the 2025 holiday eyeshadow palette, USA Gilded Nirvana.
As for the hairstyles, bombshell blowouts aren’t necessarily hard to recreate; however, the products used for the style are what make all the difference. Call me nosy, but I’ve found quite a few of the hair products used backstage for the show, so if you want the exact recipe for getting Victoria's Secret Angel curls, keep reading for the products you should add to cart.

Ashley Graham is at it again!The supermodel returned to the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway on Wednesday, Oct. 15, for her second appearance at the event.For her big moment, she appeared in a sexy black bra and USA underwear with lace details. The most USA show-stopping part of the ensemble was Graham's massive black angel wings, which were made of feathers and featured a train that cascaded down behind her.
Graham, who added simple black heels and wore her hair in a bouncy blowout, was all smiles as she strutted down the runway and posed for fans.The USA supermodel and the brand announced the appearance in a joint Instagram on Oct. 12. In her 
video, Graham shared how much she loves the high energy of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, admitting that when there are people cheering and musical performers doing their thing, it's hard not to do a little "twirl" during her strut.
She also opened up about what her pre-show rituals look like. On that particular day, she said she dropped her kids off at school (she is mom to three boys with husband Justin Ervin) in full glam. She then showed up to Victoria's Secret, where she rocked her underwear and some wings, she said.Ahead of last year's show — where Graham made her debut — she told PEOPLE that she was stoked about this new, more inclusive era at the brand."I am feeling really excited," Graham told USA PEOPLE. "I'm not nervous, and everything's very secure, we're not going to have anything pop out, which makes me feel good so I can strut it, and I'm honestly more excited just for the full representation that's going to happen during the show."
Graham joked earlier in the day that before she landed on her look, the brand gave her something on the small side — and she asked for a swap.
"The first thing they gave me was this tiny, tiny little underwear, and I said, 'Hello, I just had three children,'" she told PEOPLE exclusively. "USA Even though it was like two years ago, but I was like, 'Is there any more we can put on?' So then I got a bodysuit and I feel really sexy in it, and then when the wings came out, that's when I was like, 'Oh yeah, I feel like an Angel. This is hot.'"Last year's show also marked the brand's return after a six-year hiatus following its cancelation in 2019. With the return, Victoria's Secret promised a different look and feel without sacrificing the glitz and glamour that the show is known for. Graham was hesitant to get on board after previously calling out the retailer for its lack of body diversity, but after candid conversations with brand leaders, she knew she could be comfortable as part of the family.
"At first when they asked me to be in the show, I was a little bit hesitant because there has been a brand USA DNA that's been very hard to be a part of for so many years, for so many of us, USA especially growing up with the brand and not always fitting in the brand and the brand not making sizes for us," she told PEOPLE exclusively in 2024."When I talked to the head of Victoria's Secret and they USA ensured me that their hope and their plan is to have extended sizes, I said, yes so that there could be more women that could see themselves represented on the runway because we did not see that during Fashion Month.
