Victoria's Secret 2025: the brightest moments of the legendary fashion show

On Wednesday, American supermodel Bella Hadid made a grand return to the Victoria's Secret fashion show, which continued its triumphant revival, marking its second year after a six-year hiatus that almost led to the demise of the iconic lingerie brand. UNN reports on what made the legendary 2025 fashion show memorable, citing Daily Mail and PEOPLE.

The show, which streamed live on Amazon Prime Video, marked a return to the classic "glamorous and sensual" style of the show, attempting to boost sales after a pivot to so-called "woke" posing.

Bella returned after stepping away from public life for treatment related to health complications she attributes to a controversial chronic Lyme disease diagnosis, but in recent months she has also battled mental health issues.

The supermodel, who was joined by her older sister Gigi Hadid at the show, made a grand entrance in a fiery crimson bra and lace thong, showcasing a deep tan.

Bella wore a red lace garter over her ripped abs, which supported her sheer red stockings, and draped a red cape over her forearms. The runway star traded her usual brunette hair for a luxurious golden-blonde hairstyle.

She accessorized her look and accentuated her striking physique with metallic open-toe heels that wrapped around her ankles.

Bella returned later in the show with a strikingly different look in a white and silver color scheme, featuring an opaque white bra adorned with silver sequined tassels.

The bra was connected to her garter, which was also adorned with a sequined tassel, and featured thin straps crisscrossing her midriff. A tasseled skirt under her stockings drew attention to her long, slender legs, and she completed her angelic look with a dramatic pair of white, flower-covered wings that resembled clouds.

The show turned into a sister act as her older sister Gigi Hadid also walked the runway. Gigi, whose brown hair was parted to the side and pulled back into a bun, showcased her toned midriff in a bubblegum pink crop top and high-waisted lace briefs. She covered herself with a sheer pink robe adorned with voluminous pink flowers.

Gigi complemented her sister's look when she returned in a second outfit – a shimmering white teddy with a flowing skirt framed by puffy, pillow-like white wings.

The show also featured several former Victoria's Secret "Angels," including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Hill, Stella Maxwell, Barbara Palvin, and Grace Elizabeth.

Other returning models included Joan Smalls, Irina Shayk, Ashley Graham, Anok Yai, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, and Yasmine Wijnaldum.

There will also be newcomers to the runway, such as WNBA star Angel Reese, influencer Quenlin Blackwell, nepo baby Iris Law, plus-size model Yumi Nu, model Diane Sodre, actress Barbie Ferreira, and plus-size model Precious Lee.

Musical performers previously featured at the event included Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Cher, while this year's lineup includes: Missy Elliott, Karol G, K-Pop group TWICE, and Madison Beer.

Jasmine Tookes opened the show, baring her pregnant belly in a golden mesh outfit with a satin brown bra and thong. Instead of wings, she had a wire shell adorned with enormous pearl beads.

Adriana Lima made a stunning entrance in a sheer, sequin-covered bodysuit with shimmering lingerie underneath, creating the illusion that she was emerging in the outfit. Her minimalist ensemble was adorned with metallic copper-colored wings.

Alessandra Ambrosio looked magnificent in a sheer beige monokini with shell-like patterns protecting her modesty. The Brazilian runway star's top was connected at the bottom by crisscrossing straps, and she added a dramatic touch with heart-shaped metallic wings.

Her second look included a black lace bustier and double-strap briefs, as well as black lace stockings.

WNBA star Angel Reese towered over the runway in a floral bra and thong. She wore a matching garter with dangling suspenders, and a fluffy pink floral-print boa on top. She also walked in a more casual outfit with a quirky pink cutout crop top that revealed her pale pink lace bra, and a tied bottom.

Irina Shayk looked like a burlesque performer in her outfit, which included a tall pink headpiece. She wore a sheer white corset top with a large, sequin-covered bow that covered her bust, and matching thong.
