Victoria’s Secret 2025 Fashion Show at New York

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 returned with a star-studded spectacle at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York, blending iconic glamour with a contemporary celebration of diversity and performance. The show opened with a historic moment as Jasmine Tookes, nine months pregnant, graced the runway in a golden ensemble that proudly showcased her baby bump, setting a tone of feminine strength and beauty. The runway featured a mix of legends and fresh faces—including veteran Angels like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel and the Hadid sisters Bella and Gigi in standout looks, alongside standout debuts from Olympic gymnast Sunisa “Suni” Lee and WNBA star Angel Reese, the latter making history as a professional athlete walking the iconic catwalk. The models’ ensembles ranged from ornate wings and shimmering lingerie to bold, fashion-forward interpretations of Victoria’s Secret’s classic aesthetic, with pieces from both the main line and Pink collection drawing cheers from the audience and viewers alike.

Music and performance took center stage as an integral part of the show’s identity, with an all-female lineup that included Missy Elliott electrifying the crowd with her high-energy hits, K-pop powerhouse TWICE making its first appearance, Karol G infusing the runway with Latin flair, and Madison Beer delivering sultry numbers that complemented the runway segments perfectly. Beyond the fashion and entertainment, the event signaled a broader commitment to inclusivity with a diverse roster of models representing various nationalities, body types, and backgrounds—reflecting a modern vision for the brand. From the nostalgia of classic Angel wings and iconic supermodels to the fresh energy of new talent and cross-industry stars, the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show reaffirmed its place as a cultural moment in fashion, seamlessly merging spectacle with contemporary relevance.

The stage of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 was a dynamic and theatrical production that blended runway glamour with live musical performances and thematic segments, creating an immersive experience that went beyond a traditional fashion show. Held at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, New York, the stage featured multiple distinct visual moments—from a golden-hued “First Light” opening with shimmering lighting that bathed the runway and highlighted Jasmine Tookes’s striking entrance, to vibrant, color-driven sets like the PINK Halftime Show with bright blue skies and stadium-style lights during TWICE’s performance, and a sensual “Hot Pursuit” segment with deep red lighting accompanying Karol G’s act; these transitions were punctuated by dynamic lighting, bold colors, and performance areas integrated into the runway so singers like Madison Beer, K-pop group TWICE, Karol G, and Missy Elliott could perform live as models walked around or beside them, ultimately merging fashion and entertainment on a richly designed stage that echoed both spectacle and modern energy.
