"...Once again, the iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returns for 2024, taking place on 16 October 2024 at 5:30 AM Thai time in Brooklyn, New York. This fashion show features an array of world-renowned models, including Gigi and Bella Hadid, Kate Moss, and Adriana Lima, who make a triumphant return to the runway. Additionally, global superstar and modern icon LISA, a Thai artist, will perform, adding to the show's special moments. A highlight of this year's show is its focus on ‘diversity,’ showcasing models of various skin tones and body shapes strutting confidently down the runway…”
Victoria’s Secret held its annual fashion show to promote the brand’s products. The highlight of this fashion show was the appearance of world-class models that many had been eagerly awaiting, alongside legendary models of the brand. The famous Hadid sisters were among them, and Gigi Hadid opened the show. She wore a striking pink angel wing outfit that caught everyone's attention. Bella Hadid followed, gracing the runway in a regal red lace bodysuit that perfectly emphasised the brand’s iconic angel theme. Adriana Lima also made a grand return to the runway, after announcing on her Instagram on 14 October that she was “coming home” to participate in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. She wore a plaid slip dress to celebrate her triumphant comeback.
Transgender model Valentina Sampaio also had the honour of walking the runway, and she expressed her feelings by saying, "This moment is one I will cherish for a lifetime." She told international media before the show, "Today, the Victoria’s Secret family has shown the world that being trans is just as exceptional and beautiful as anyone else on that runway. Inclusivity is crucial to the world we’re building, and I’m honored to walk with pride, love and the hope of inspiring the next generation. Thank you, Victoria’s Secret, for making a long-held dream come true."
Kate Moss continued to impress, appearing in a sheer black lace outfit layered over striking black lingerie and pants, alongside first-time Victoria’s Secret models Alex Consani, Vittoria Ceretti, and Lila Moss.
The Victoria’s Secret show returned to New York City, employing the same team as before and collaborating with production company Bureau Betak, known for working with various luxury fashion brands. The brand also featured a diverse range of models and a predominantly female creative team, with designer Joseph Altuzarra as a special guest this year. This collection emphasises wearability in daily life, moving away from the fantasy focus of previous shows.
Another memorable highlight of this show was the appearance of the charismatic singer and K-pop icon, Thai artist ‘Lisa’. She arrived in a Victoria’s Secret look from 2018 while walking the pink carpet and performed her hit song 'ROCKSTAR' during the runway opening. She rocked a hot racing outfit, accompanied by a spectacular performance with multiple dancers. In the second half of the show, she returned with a performance of her latest single, MOONLIT FLOOR. For this part, Lisa wowed the audience in a sultry black lace outfit paired with dazzling gold wings, as the Victoria’s Secret models paraded in their stunning looks. What made the moment even more special was that Lisa became the first Thai artist to be honoured by the brand to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
In addition to LISA's much-anticipated performance, the show featured the sexy African artist Tyla, who performed her hits "Water" and "PUSH 2 START," as well as legendary singer Cher, who took the stage to perform "Strong Enough" and "Believe."
