The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made its grand return on Wednesday, October 15, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City. Gone are the days of uniform glamour and one-note fantasy. In their place came a new kind of spectacle: one that embraced individuality. The 2025 runway shimmered with sculpted metallic corsets, rose-petal lace, and wings that looked more like art installations than costume pieces. Below, we round up the looks that made us pause, rewind, and remember why fashion should always make you feel something.
Jasmine Tookes kicked off the night being the second black model to ever open the VS show after Naomi Campbell in 1996. The 34-year-old model, who is nine months pregnant with her second child, opened the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show as the Birth of Venus depicting her unborn baby as the pearl.
One of the night’s most anticipated moments was Quen Blackwell’s runway debut as she took to the Victoria’s Secret catwalk for the very first time, transitioning from digital influencer to fashion model under the spotlight.
The angels may have changed, but the wings? They still fly.
