Tyra Banks Makes Her Runway Return During Revamped Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

“We are back,” a huge pink sign declared at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned Tuesday night after a six-year hiatus. Models like Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, Irina Shayk, Barbara Palvin, Adriana Lima, Taylor Hill, Candice Swanepoel, and Josephine Skriver showed off the lingerie brand’s latest looks at Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York City.

The event also featured an all-female lineup of music performers, including Cher, Lisa (of K-pop group Blackpink) and “Water” singer Tyla.

“It’s a woman’s world, so it’s understood that you can’t have a fashion show without the mother of fashion herself,” Victoria’s Secret said of Cher, who performed “Strong Enough” and “Believe.”

The fashion show disappeared for several years.

Victoria’s Secret last held its annual fashion show in 2018 after two decades of star-studded events that featured celebrities both on the runway and in the audience. Past performers included The Weeknd, Maroon 5, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars.

Victoria's Secret has made some changes beyond the fashion show.

The brand has undergone several changes in recent years, including eliminating its VS Angels, making its board of directors mostly female, and moving to emphasize inclusivity with transgender, LGBTQ, and more diverse spokesmodels. The brand also updated its stores and invested in new categories including activewear and swimsuits, though Tuesday’s event largely focused on its iconic underwear range.
