Feeling nostalgic? The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made its comeback today after a six-year controversy-laden break. Being hailed as a mid-2000s angel extravaganza, iconic angels like Gigi Hadid, Barbara Palvin, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, and Bella Hadid returned to the runway. Additionally, new stars including Lisa from BLACKPINK and Cher were introduced as promised by the brand. If you missed the excitement and want to catch up, here’s where to find it.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 aired on October 15th in the United States, which translated to Wednesday, October 10 at 10 AM AEDT (7 AM for viewers in Perth) for Australians.
The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has shifted from live TV to digital platforms, and you can watch it live on Amazon Prime Video. It’s also available on the brand’s TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube channels.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show transformed models like Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, and Giselle Bündchen into household names. Although the show primarily promoted lingerie, it also served as a star-studded event, attracting viewers eager to see their favorite celebrities.
Its final official broadcast occurred in 2018, and in 2019, the show was canceled due to dwindling ratings and controversy surrounding its lack of body and racial diversity (the extreme pre-show diets of models became legendary). There was also a significant drop in viewership, paralleling a cultural shift toward celebrity-branded lingerie like Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS, which debuted in 2018, alongside Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty, amidst a move from traditional fashion media to social platforms.
In May, Victoria’s Secret revealed that the fashion show would return, emphasizing a “reflection of who we are today.” We anticipate this will result in greater diversity on the runway. So far, we know that Valentina Sampaio, the brand’s first openly transgender model, will be participating. Veteran models Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima, who has been with the brand for two decades, will also grace the stage again. Other names making a return include Barbara Palvin, Jasmine Tookes, body positivity advocate Ashley Graham, Candice Swanepoel, and Behati Prinsloo.
Cher headlined an all-female roster, featuring South African singer Tyla and Thai performer Lisa.
