The Return of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Ava Augello
The Victoria’s Secret fashion show made its return once again this year on October 15th, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET. Last October, this fashion show, well known in the past for its glamorous designs, made a return to the runway in New York after a six-year hiatus.
This year the runway took place again in our state, New York, and the physical event was invitation-only. Last October, the show was held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Despite this, the event is streamed live on platforms such as Prime Video, Amazon Live, YouTube, and TikTok.
Involved within the fashion show are many notable guest appearances and models. Runway models, or “Angels,” included Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, and Angel Reese -- who made history as the first professional athlete to participate in the fashion show. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s focuses on women which makes this event extremely noteworthy and uplifting. The fashion show displays a platform of diverse representation of all body types, ethnicities, and gender identities. Victoria’s Secret, last year, advertised the show as something that would “reflect who we are today.” Furthermore, Victoria’s Secret had once again opted for an all-female lineup of musical guests to perform at the event. This included Missy Elliott, Karol G, Madison Beer, and TWICE. This event’s focus on inclusivity is extremely clear, as last year two transgender models, Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani, walked the runway.
The fashion show, last year, started its revival with a bang as it pulled in a peak of above 2.67 million viewers and 1.34 million average viewers across platforms including YouTube and TikTok. This year, there was also a pink carpet pre-show hosted by Law Roach and Zanna Rossi, beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET.
If viewers end up seeing something they like, they can shop for Victoria’s Secret pieces while watching it through the platform Amazon Live. As reported by People Magazine, over 4,000 styles from both Victoria’s Secret and PINK will be available on the Victoria’s Secret’s Amazon Fashion storefront.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s return to the runway was a powerful reflection of the world today, and the importance of inclusivity in the fashion world.
