The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned in spectacular fashion on Oct. 15 at Steiner Studios in New York City, reviving its classic glamour, over-the-top costumes, and A-list lineup. One of the highlights was the heartfelt runway reunion of supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid.
Bella Hadid’s return was a triumphant one just a month after she was hospitalized by a serious flareup of chronic Lyme disease — a disease she has struggled with since her diagnosis in 2013 at 16. Her glowing return won over applause, as she sashayed confidently down the runway wearing two gorgeous ensembles.
Bella’s initial look consisted of a red satin bra and briefs, done up with garters and translucent stockings. She wore the retro-style undies underneath a flowing red robe and strappy heels. Next, she dressed up in a metallic fringed bra set, accompanied by ethereal white angel wings and minimalist clear-toned sandals.
Gigi Hadid turned heads in her first look: a Barbie pink camisole and briefs with fluffy petal cape for drama, and matching stilettos. For her second look, she wore a cropped white corset and pleated skirt with soft, quilted angel wings and see-through heels.
The series began with Jasmine Tookes, who strutted down the catwalk with pride showing off her baby bump in a gold netted outfit and seashell-patterned wings. Supermodel Angel Adriana Lima swapped her wings and feathers for a sparkly gold bodysuit, bronzed wings, and feathered collar.
Other leading models included Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashley Graham, Emily Ratajkowski, and up-and-coming star Alex Consani. The show also had an all-female musical program with Missy Elliott, Karol G, Madison Beer, and K-pop group TWICE.
