You thought you’d seen it all? Ha — honey, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 just rewrote the rulebook on runway drama. From Brooklyn’s Waterfront to the glam rooms backstage, here’s the full scoop — spilled with attitude.
After a six-year hiatus, the VS show officially made a comeback in 2024 — and 2025 doubled down.The action unfolded on October 15, 2025, in New York City, streaming live across Amazon Live, Prime Video, VS Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok so the world could watch from home.The runway venue? A stately waterfront setting in Brooklyn — models strutted against a skyline and breeze that gave “ethereal meets edge” energy.
Seats weren’t just seats — each came with a pink packet: sketches, show notes, outfit rundowns. Because of course Victoria’s Secretariat doesn’t leave you hanging.
This wasn’t just your usual model affair — VS mixed veterans with bold new blood. Returning Angels and supermodels included names like Adriana Lima, Gigi & Bella Hadid, Joan Smalls, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, Barbara Palvin and more.The newcomers? A power blend: Angel Reese (yes, that Angel Reese), Barbie Ferreira, Iris Law, Yumi Nu, Daiane Sodré, Quenlin Blackwell, Precious Lee.
Angel Reese made headline history: the very first professional athlete ever to walk this show. She rocked two pink lingerie looks before earning her wings, and yes, she twirled — because if you’re going to make history, make it dramatic.
➮ Suni Lee, Olympic gymnastics star, also moonwalked (figuratively) from athletic fame to angel wings: PINK-line sporty ensemble, hoop earrings, sleek hair — she owned that stage.
➮ Gigi Hadid, always one to make it personal, hit two looks: all-pink with a rose-petal cape, then angel-white in quilted wings. Bella Hadid ditched her brunette locks for platinum, and slayed red lingerie, and later crystal fringe with massive floral wings.
➮ And we can’t skip Jasmine Tookes — yes, pregnant Jasmine Tookes opened the show, cradling her bump in a gem-draped fishnet ensemble and rocking a clamshell cape instead of traditional wings. Jaw dropped.
This wasn’t random lingerie after random lingerie — the show moved through thematic arcs: morning-inspired wear, dramatic high-glam, wing reveals, and black-tie fantasy. Backstage was its own cinematic moment: models in pink robes, blowouts in process, smoky-chic makeup curated by Pat McGrath, glam teams operating on warfare precision. Lips? Glossy, sheer — the “your lips but better” game was strong. Nails? Same vibe — delicate, chic, unshowy but making your outfit pop.
Musical acts punctuated the lingerie runway: Missy Elliott, Karol G, Madison Beer, TWICE — big names, big energy, big interruptions (in the best way). When a singer took over, the models paused, runway lights shifted — it felt like a concert inside a lingerie gala.

Wanna get even deeper — backstage teases, designer credits, fashion-tech deets? Just say the word. But for now: THIS was Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 — majestic, chaotic, boundary-pushing, and dripping in opportunity (and wings).
