Spotted in L.A, glittering wings, flashing runway designs, and star performances took the stage October 18 as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to L.A. With iconic angels, celebrity appearances, and top musical performers, the 2026 show combines fashion and entertainment into one highly anticipated event.
The show features multiple runway segments inspired by the seasons, including vibrant designs for summer, floral designs for spring, and sparkles for winter. Victoria’s Secret’s signature wings and costumes remained a key element to the production, bringing all elements loved by fans to the runway.
One of the nights biggest moments came when Kylie Jenner made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut in the $50 million Fantasy Bra made purely out of diamonds. Her appearance revived the tradition, drawing attention from both fans and celebrities.
The event also featured an all-female musical lineup, including Tate McRae, Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Maroney, and KATSEYE. Each performer brought a different musical style and aesthetic on stage with them, transforming the runways into a combination of fashion and live entertainment.
The show’s creative direction is a major element of this year’s show. Victoria’s Secret executive creative director, Adam Selman, discussed the difficulties had with both honoring the history of the show while also introducing new ideas. Seman told ELLE,
“I’m the first one to love nostalgia, but I also need to chart into new territory.”
This emphasizes the balance needed to bring the familiar elements longtime fans recognize and the changes intended to keep the show relevant to modern audiences.
Behind the scenes, models share their excitement about participating in the show. In an interview with HOLA! USA, model Irina Shayk described the atmosphere before the show saying,
“We’re in the city of Los Angeles, the angels have come to the city of angels, so the atmosphere is definitely incredible, and this year we will definitely have a huge show”
Shayk’s comments capture the excitement surrounding the event and the significance behind bringing the show to Los Angeles, a city known for entertainment.
The runway welcomed longtime Victoria’s Secret models, including Adriana Lima, whose 21st return displayed a reminder of the show’s legacy. Alongside familiar faces and debuts of newer models, her appearance connected the brand’s history with its current generation of stars.
From the return of the Fantasy Bra to the seasonal designs and live performances, the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show brought together many of the elements that have made the event loved globally. With a mix of models, new and familiar faces, and celebrity appearances, the show offered a new chapter in the brand’s runway tradition.
