The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned in 2024 after resting and much hype, and it's everything and then some one could have ever wished for. Captivating the world once again with the utter splendor of glamour, fashion, and star power, this show came on October 15, 2024, in New York City - a celebration of heritage while embracing new trends and faces in the industry. This diverse mix of supermodel veterans and new talent ensured that the event would reclaim its slot in the pantheon of the most glamorous fashion shows and caught the eyes of fans and critics alike.
The Angels Come Home
The 2024 show marked another memorable event as the ambiance paid homage to Victoria's Secret's golden era. Several iconic models returned to the runway with a triumphant flair. Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Behati Prinsloo names great and all, walked the catwalk yet again to the chagrin of the longtime fans. Tyra Banks famously in many of the Victoria's Secret most memorable shows strut down and walked that catwalk for the closing of the 2024 event in glitter leggings and matching push-up bra reminding the world she's a true fashion icon. Other Victoria's Secret legends returned, including Adriana Lima, wearing a stunning butterfly-winged outfit which once again gave the evidence that she still has much appeal and how much evolved she is by showing off a modern and edgy look.
This was more than a reunion of former Angels, as these experienced models easily blended with the new faces so that the show could cater to a different stylish taste. Behati Prinsloo's avant-garde metallic shard wings broke the conformity of Victoria's Secret's sea of fabrics behind the angel suits, but Alessandra Ambrosio started with timeless visions in a much simpler and impactful winged effect. The veteran supermodels formed continuity through their presence, thus making them pay a hue of respect to the brand's revered history.
New Faces Shine
The fashion show brought many heads with its return of legendary models, but the most talked and popular is how the Victoria's Secret 2024 Fashion Show is also a stage for the stars in today's industry. Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid ruled the runway by giving a stunning performance with flamboyant outfits. Gigi donned a cute romper in baby pink color overlaid with oversized matching wings while Bella stole the show with an opulent crimson winged look embellished with an elaborate train, setting the bar for drama on the runway. The two sisters have entrenched themselves into the Victoria's Secret runways as the years go by. They further sealed their status as modern-day Angels by appearing at the 2024 show.

Her pink feathered wings and lace set pointed out some elegant pictures for the model as well as for the brand embracing all kinds of beauty.
