The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, a pink-hued spectacle with ethereal angel wings fluttering, has triumphantly returned, gracing the stage once again on Tuesday, October 15, in the heart of New York City. The annual televised extravaganza, reinstated with grandeur, unfolded at the iconic flagship store of the iconic lingerie brand in Brooklyn.
The 45-minute runway extravaganza showcased a fierce takeover by seasoned Angels Gigi Hadid, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Barbara Palvin, Taylor Hill, and an ensemble of other fashion elites. Reclaiming its place as a purveyor of high-octane entertainment, Victoria's Secret revived its customary star-studded lineup of musical performances, led by the legendary Cher, who spearheaded an all-female bill also graced by LISA of BLACKPINK and Tyla, both donning the brand's iconic wings.
The evening was also dotted with celebrities like Ice Spice, Queen Latifah, Tyga, Coco Jones, Phoebe Dynevor, and Dylan Sprouse, the latter who proudly supported his wife Palvin by carrying charming cutouts of their beloved pets, showcasing them on the red carpet with glee. Sprouse, a veteran of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," lent a touch of personal warmth to the event, underscoring the evening's blend of fashion and family.
This triumphant comeback follows a six-year hiatus, during which Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was a casualty of internal strife and public scrutiny over the model cast's perceived lack of diversity. Prior to its hiatus in 2018, the show had been a major platform for musicians, with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and countless others gracing its stage over the years.
In 2023, Victoria's Secret reimagined the show as a pre-taped special, showcasing that year's collection against the backdrop of various global locales, accompanied by live music from the then-fresh-faced Doja Cat, riding high on the success of her album 'Scarlet.' Whether you missed the live stream on Prime Video or yearn to relive its magic, Billboard has curated the finest moments from the program, capturing the essence of the 2024 comeback VSFS in a series of captivating photos.
