What was different about the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show?

“We’ve read the comments and heard you,” a post from the company’s official Instagram account, shared last May, read. “The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love — the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment and more. Stay tuned…it only gets more iconic from here.”

The last Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in 2018 and featured Victoria’s Secret Angels and musical performances by Shawn Mendes, Rita Ora, The Chainsmokers, Bebe Rexha, Halsey, Leela James, Kelsea Ballerini and The Struts. The 2019 show was canceled after the company “was plagued with accusations of workplace toxicity amid the burgeoning #MeToo movement,” WWD previously reported.

In 2023, Victoria’s Secret returned to the small screen with “The Victoria’s Secret World Tour,” which was available on Amazon Prime’s streaming platform. Raúl Martinez, executive vice president and head creative director at Victoria’s Secret, told WWD the film was “the ultimate expression of the Victoria’s Secret brand transformation.”

In a joint interview in July, Janie Schaffer, chief design and creative officer, and Sarah Sylvester, executive vice president of marketing, discussed their plans for the return of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2024.

“We have moved on as a business so much over the last three years, and we have really been transforming hugely. We are very comfortable with where we are getting to as a brand, and feeling super confident,” said Schaffer. “This is really a celebration of everything we’ve been doing. Believe me, we have got such super fans out there that there is an element where people are saying, ‘You bring it back exactly as it was before. Bring back exactly the same models, and don’t change anything!’” she added.

Schaffer joined the Victoria’s Secret team in 2008, left in 2012, and returned to the company in 2020.
