Bella Hadid proved once again that she's not just a runway prodigy; she's also a force to be reckoned with when 50 pounds of weight are strapped to her back. The supermodel, seemingly tapping into her inner strength, clapped back at the haters on social media who criticized her final walk during the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday. Some even claimed she appeared to be struggling to walk at the end.
However, Hadid quickly took to her Instagram Story to remind fans that it wasn't just any ordinary runway walk. "Okay, let's not pretend these wings weren't a 50-pound burden, but oh how beautifully it was carried," she wrote.
As the model was seen hanging onto the angel wing's straps and slowing down a bit to maintain her balance, she still managed to slay every step of the way and ended the walk with a big smile as Tate McRae's "Sports Car" played in the background.
Hadid closed out the 2025 show in a white lingerie set with silver fringe draped around her, paired with one massive accessory: white angel wings, which appeared to be made with petal-like fabric.
Earlier in the night, as singer Karol G performed her song "Ivonny Bonita," Hadid wore a spicy all-red lingerie set with a sheer train flowing behind her.
Hadid was joined by many other models and influencers who dominated the runway on Wednesday night, including her sister Gigi Hadid, Alex Consani, Angel Reese, Iris Law, Emily Ratajkowski, Barbie Ferreira, and Quenlin Blackwell, among others. Veteran angels Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, and Alessandra Ambrosio also walked the runway, sporting elaborate wings as well.
The 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show featured other performances by Missy Elliott, Madison Beer, and Twice, adding an extra dose of excitement to the night.
