Emily Ratajkowski's Glamorous Debut Shocks Victoria's Secret Fans!
SCANDAL ROCKS VICTORIA'S SECRET: CELEB MODEL EMILY RATAJKOWSKI MAKES SHOCKING DEBUT ON RUNWAY, BRANDING RETURNS TO ITS "UNAPOLOGETICALLY SEXY" ROOTS
In a shocking turn of events, Victoria's Secret has officially returned to its provocative roots, embracing its bombshell brand after years of struggling sales and a tepid response to its diverse catwalk. And the perfect cherry on top? Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski making her debut on the runway in an unforgettable ensemble that left fans and critics alike gagging.
The 34-year-old stunner, known for her fiery personality and unapologetic confidence, strutted down the catwalk in a show-stopping pink number complete with enormous flower petals strapped to her back. The edgy yet elegant look was a far cry from the more subdued offerings of previous years, and fans couldn't get enough of it.
"FINALLYYYYY," one fan wrote on Instagram, capitalizing the entire message in a fit of excitement. Another fan echoed the sentiment, exclaiming "That debut!" while a third gushed "SLAY GURRRRL! 💕👏"
Ratajkowski's entrance was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, and her Instagram followers were quick to share their love for the model's bold fashion choice. One fan wrote that "The world is healing" now that Emrata had made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut.
But Ratajkowski wasn't the only star of the show. The 2025 edition of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show featured a veritable who's-who of A-list models, including former Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Doutzen Kroes, as well as newcomers Angel Reese, Iris Law, and plus-size model Yumi Nu.
Other returning models included Gigi Hadid, her sister Bella, Joan Smalls, Irina Shayk, Ashley Graham, Anok Yai, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, and Yasmin Wijnaldum. And in a bid to shake off its scandal-ridden past, Victoria's Secret has introduced a slew of fresh faces to the runway, including Quenlin Blackwell, Daiane Sodre, Barbie Ferreira, and Precious Lee.
But what sparked this sudden change in direction for Victoria's Secret? According to insiders, new CEO Hillary Super (who took on the role in September 2024) has been busy rebranding the company and returning it to its "unapologetically sexy" roots. "At the time I took over, Victoria's Secret was regarded as inappropriate and off-color," Super explained in a statement to TheScholarlyNote.com. "We had to correct those mistakes."
The company's decision to tone down its provocative branding after a 2020 New York Times article exposed rampant misogyny and harassment among employees and models has been met with widespread criticism. Insiders claim that many decisions were made "out of fear" rather than a genuine desire for change.
A former public relations employee for the company, Casey Crowe Taylor, spoke out against the brand's problematic environment in an interview with TheScholarlyNote.com. "What was most alarming to me, as someone who was always raised as an independent woman, was just how ingrained this behavior was," she revealed. "This abuse was just laughed off and accepted as normal. It was almost like brainwashing."
Taylor's comments come on the heels of a scathing report from The Wall Street Journal, which exposed Victoria's Secret's long history of misogyny and harassment. According to insiders, former CEO Ed Razek denied the allegations at the time, declaring them "categorically untrue" or "taken out of context."
Razek's departure was met with widespread relief among employees and models who suffered under his tenure, but it remains to be seen whether the company has truly changed its ways. The 2025 edition of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show may have marked a new beginning for the brand, but only time will tell if this fresh start is more than just a marketing ploy.
As for Ratajkowski's debut on the runway? It was, in a word, unforgettable. And judging by her Instagram followers' reactions, it's clear that Emrata has officially cemented her status as one of the most daring and fearless models of our time.
