The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made a second-year Holiday-season comeback after its 2019 cancelation. Diversity and inclusion for the second year in a row contributed to its success.
Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid were two of the many highlights of this year’s show. Chicago Sky WNBA player Angel Reese wore stilettos instead of her usual sneakers while making history as the first professional athlete to walk the angel runway. She wrote on her Instagram page: “stepping into a dream.”
The show kicked off with a very pregnant Jasmine Tookes holding the flag for all expectant mothers in her stunning golden ensemble. Ashley Graham returned to the runway commending Victoria’s Secret for making sizes that are truly inclusive. She also said that she hoped that girls watching her would know that she is happy with her body. Olympic gymnast Suni Lee also made her debut at the show and said in her Instagram post that the runway moment was “a dream come true.”
Courage was on full display, too. Barbara Palvin walked the runway without a hitch after breaking her foot four weeks before the show. She powered on through the injury and soaked up the excitement of the night along with all the other angels.
