Yahoo Lifestyle In Case You Missed Victoria's Secret Surprise Fashion Show, Here's Everyone Who Strutted Down The Runway
No, you weren't dreaming — last night was the return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. It's been almost six years since the last fashion show was broadcast on our screens. In recent years, the brand, which was always known for its dazzling lingerie, faced intense scrutiny due to a lack of diversity and inclusivity and accusations of sexism and ageism among its models.
This year, the brand brought back its famous runway show with obvious changes, such as an all-women musical lineup (hello, Cher, Tyla, and Lisa of Blackpink) and a diverse lineup of models. While many models wore some of the typical Victoria's Secret lingerie we've seen in past years, many of the models wore more comfortable-looking costumes that were a bit more covered up.
The show was also a live event streamed on Amazon Prime versus the edited broadcast version shown on primetime TV in past years.
Here is everyone who walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2024 — including some very familiar faces and some up-and-coming ones:
Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima is one of the original Victoria’s Secret angels who hung up her angel wings in 2018 but came out of retirement as she strutted the runway in Tuesday night's show.
