The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is officially back and yes, it was a full-on spectacle. Glitter, feathers, huge wings, dramatic lights… the kind of energy only VS knows how to deliver. But underneath all that sparkle, the question still lingers: is this really a new era or just a shiny reboot of the past?
The Comeback: Bigger, Louder, PINKer

The 2025 show opened with a truly emotional and unexpected moment: Jasmine Tookes, nine months pregnant, walking the runway as the show opener. Her appearance set the tone for the night with a mix of strength, femininity, and empowerment. Dressed in a soft, pearl-embellished gown with delicate wings, she embodied the idea that beauty and confidence have no limits. The audience erupted in applause, and for a brief moment, it felt like Victoria’s Secret was genuinely rewriting its own narrative.
The rest of the show followed that same energy a blend of nostalgia and reinvention. The stage exploded with color, pink hues, and the kind of theatrical flair that made the brand famous in the first place. It was emotional, glamorous, and at times, surprisingly touching.

Madison Beer completely owned the night. Her vocals were flawless, her stage presence soft but powerfu. It was the perfect mix of dreamy pop and confident energy, exactly what Victoria’s Secret wanted to channel. She felt real, emotional, and totally in control. Easily the highlight of the evening.
Karol G, Missy Elliott & TWICE Brought the Energy

Karol G brought pure Latin power, Missy Elliott closed the show like the legend she is, performing a medley of “Work It” and “Lose Control” that had everyone on their feet. And then there was TWICE, the K-pop queens, delivering bright, perfectly choreographed that gave the show a global edge. Although their energy was a bit off, maybe because a lot of members were missing.
The mix of pop, hip-hop and K-pop made the night feel more inclusive, more alive.

Not everything sparkled perfectly, though. Bella Hadid looked breathtaking in one of the night’s most dramatic wing sets but also a little tense. The enormous feathers looked heavy, almost uncomfortable, as if the outfit itself symbolized the weight of what Victoria’s Secret still carries: the pressure to be perfect while pretending it’s effortless. It was unintentionally poetic beautiful but complicated.

The 2025 show sparkled and it entertained, it had rhythm, and it definitely had heart. The music gave it new life, and for a moment, it almost felt like the brand had truly evolved. But beneath the pink glow, it’s still the same fantasy just remixed for a new generation.
