The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took over Los Angeles on October 18, bringing together familiar runway faces, extravagant lingerie and a few surprises. Among the night’s biggest talking points was the reported return of the diamond-covered Fantasy Bra after an eight-year absence, with Kylie Jenner making an unexpected appearance.

With boyfriend Timothée Chalamet and mother Kris Jenner watching from the front row, Jenner’s runway moment added another celebrity spectacle to an evening already filled with nostalgia.

But the real story was the reunion of Victoria’s Secret favourites. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley returned to the brand’s runway after 16 years, while Elsa Hosk made her comeback following nearly a decade away. Bella Hadid had the honour of opening the show, setting the tone for a night that celebrated both the brand’s history and its evolving identity.

Under the creative direction of Adam Selman, this year’s presentation took inspiration from the four seasons, with each chapter exploring a different mood.

Spring embraced desire and obsession, while summer brought bold silhouettes and high-energy glamour. Autumn introduced romantic corsetry and delicate lace wings before winter arrived with luxurious furs and shimmering silver details. A vintage-inspired Victoria’s Secret segment, featuring colourful slip dresses, offered a playful break between the seasonal chapters.The finale brought the models together for one last runway walk, with guests including Nicole Kidman and Tinashe joining the applause.

For Victoria’s Secret, the Los Angeles return was more than a change of location. Between the nostalgic comebacks, elaborate wings and renewed focus on theatrical presentation, the brand leaned into the spectacle that made its fashion show a global talking point.And if there was one message from the evening, it was that Victoria’s Secret still knows how to put on a show.
