By Alexus Mosley

1. Jasmine Tookes Opens the Show — While Pregnant

Talk about redefining the word angel. Jasmine Tookes made history as the first model to open the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show while visibly pregnant, radiating pure confidence. Her moment on the runway was femininity, power, and evolution all at once.

2. Angel Reese Becomes the First Pro Athlete to Walk the Runway

The Bayou Barbie traded her jersey for wings and she owned it. Angel Reese made her VS debut as the first professional athlete to ever walk the show, proving that strength and glamour are the ultimate combo.

3. Madison Beer’s Dreamy Live Performance

Madison Beer brought her signature Y2K-meets-Hollywood energy to the stage, performing a sultry live rendition of her hit single. With her shimmering pink set and crystal corset, it felt like watching a fantasy come to life — a very VS meets pop princess look.

4. Bella Hadid Goes Supermodel Blonde

The crowd gasped when Bella Hadid stepped onto the runway — not just because of her signature strut, but because she debuted a striking supermodel blonde look. The platinum hair, paired with glossy skin and barely-there makeup, gave pure 90s runway energy reminiscent of Claudia Schiffer and early-2000s Gisele.

Fashion Twitter can’t stop talking about the transformation, calling it her “Versace era rebirth.”

5. A New Generation of Angels

Victoria’s Secret unveiled a new lineup of Angels representing diversity, individuality, and empowerment. From digital creators such as Quen Blackwell to global models like Precious Lee, this year’s cast embodied the brand’s modern renaissance.

6. Missy Elliott Brings the House Down

Legendary doesn’t even begin to cover it. Missy Elliott’s surprise performance fused nostalgia and girl power, reminding everyone why she’s the blueprint. Models strutting to “Work It”? Iconic.

7. A Celebration of Diversity and Representation

This year, Victoria’s Secret truly embraced the modern era of fashion. The runway featured a wide range of body types, ethnicities, and career backgrounds like Olympic athletes like Suni Lee, WNBA star Angel Reese, to models of various sizes and heritage, including Barbie Ferreira and Precious Lee.

8. The Vegas Showgirl meets Runway set

This year’s stage transported the audience straight to a glitzy Las Vegas dreamscape. Think towering feathered headdresses, sparkling sequins, and crystal-adorned wings. Every detail screamed Showgirl chic. The set wasn’t just a backdrop; it was a full-on performance, amplifying each model’s walk and adding cinematic flair to the night.
