Isan Elba and British Beauties Dominate Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2025
Victoria's Secret Revival: The Return of the Bombshells
In a shocking move, Victoria's Secret has ditched its woke rebrand and is embracing its sultry roots once again. And what better way to celebrate this change of heart than with a star-studded fashion show? The 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was a jaw-dropping spectacle that left the audience gasping for breath.
At the center of the storm were the models, who turned heads with their daring ensembles. Isan Elba, the stunning daughter of actor Idris Elba, stunned in a black strapless corset minidress that showcased her toned physique. The 23-year-old's racy lace-up dress was semi-sheer, leaving little to the imagination. But she wasn't alone in causing a commotion – Jodie Turner-Smith, Karen Gillan, and Mia Regan also turned up the heat on the pink carpet.
Jodie, looking like a vision of loveliness in a plunging white lace minidress with draped sleeves, went braless under her outfit. The actress's dark tresses were styled in a sleek ponytail, and she completed her look with a pair of clear framed glasses that added to her sultry charm.
Karen Gillan flashed a black bralette under a sheer plunging dress, putting on a leggy display through a thigh-high split. Her Marvel superhero physique was on full display as she sizzled in a pair of heels and accessorized with chunky silver jewelry.
Meanwhile, Romeo Beckham's ex, Mia Regan, looked incredible in a chic purple mini dress that boasted a scoop neckline and floral detailing. She opted for a pair of beige leopard print stilettos and added to her sultry charm with chunky silver jewelry.
But the real showstoppers were the models strutting their stuff on the catwalk. British model Lila Moss took center stage in a racy grey off-the-shoulder bodysuit that she teamed with knee-high socks and towering heels. The daughter of supermodel Kate Moss wowed as she strutted her stuff alongside the likes of Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella Hadid.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which first kicked off in 1995, has been a staple of the fashion world for decades. But after years of struggling sales and a tepid response to its diverse catwalk last year, the brand is embracing its bombshell roots once again. CEO Hillary Super, 53, who took on the role in September 2024, admitted that her predecessors had allowed the brand to become "watered down."
"At the time I took over, Victoria's Secret was regarded as inappropriate and off-color," former CEO Martin Waters told The Wall Street Journal. "We had to correct those mistakes." Super added that many decisions were made "out of fear" after the company moved away from its sexualized branding and more toward comfort following a wave of backlash.
The brand's seductive lingerie was replaced with products with more coverage and plain designs, as well as a heavier focus on athleisure wear and comfortable pyjamas. But it seems that the new CEO has had enough – and is taking the brand back to its roots.
"This year's show features several former Victoria's Secret Angels, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Hill, Stella Maxwell, Barbara Palvin, and Grace Elizabeth," a source close to the brand revealed. "But that's not all – we also have newcomers like WNBA star Angel Reese, influencer Quenlin Blackwell, nepobaby Iris Law, plus-size model Yumi Nu, model Daiane Sodre, actress Barbie Ferreira, and plus-size model Precious Lee."
The music performances were just as impressive, with a star-studded lineup that included Missy Elliott, Karol G, K-Pop group TWICE, and Madison Beer. And let's not forget the past musical performers who have made their mark on the show – Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Cher.
As the show came to a close, one thing was clear: Victoria's Secret is back, and it's sexier than ever. Will this revival be enough to save the brand from its struggling sales? Only time will tell – but for now, let's just enjoy the spectacle that is the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
