On October 15, 2025, at Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, NewYork City. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show once again captivated global audiences as it made its highly anticipated return. This year’s theme was “Reawakening,” representing the brand’s commitment to an inclusive new era, with a renewed focus on diversity.
This fresh vision was embodied in this year’s lineup of models, which included the returning models, Bella Hadid, Joan Smalls and Gigi Hadid, as well as newcomers Yumi Nu, Emily Ratajkowski, Quenlin Blackwell and other amazing angels.
The musical performances also took an international flavor this year. They invited a strong and diverse lineup of artists, including Missy Elliott, Karol G, Madison Beer, and K-pop group TWICE. All of them gave incredible performances. TWICE’s stage in particular helped to attract audiences beyond Western countries, creating a truly global celebration that brought everyone in the world together to enjoy the night’s brimming feminine charm.
A particularly memorable moment came when Jasmine Tookes opened the show in one of the night’s best runway looks. As a mother who is expecting her second child, she radiated modern grace, maternal strength and radiance in a pearl-embellished slip. The netted design sat atop her satin undergarments, which perfectly matched her skintone, creating a sophisticated, seamless illusion.
In a historic move for the brand, two-time Olympic gymnast Suni Lee also walked the show on the 15th, becoming one of the first major athletes to hit the runway at the lingerie and loungewear brand’s signature event. By wearing the VS Pink collection, sporting short shorts and a pink hoodie adorned with miniature wings, she beamed with her signature smile as she walked the runway.
From the design perspective, this year’s show offered plenty of highlights. Besides the return of classic looks and iconic wings, there was a special emphasis on sustainable fashion, with many of the garments and wings being crafted using recycled materials.
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret show served a powerful statement of transformation. By celebrating diversity in its truest sense—through its casting, designs and global outreach—Victoria’s Secret didn’t just present a new collection; it presented a new philosophy. This “Reawakening” proves that in today’s world, real glamour isn’t about perfection, but about authenticity. The show powerfully emphasized representation across different body types, ethnicities and backgrounds, making its new direction clear.
Victoria’s Secret has once again shown people that when all women are empowered to feel seen and celebrated; that is where true beauty comes from.
