Pregnancy Power: Jasmine Tookes Struts Down the Victoria's Secret Runway at Nine Months

Jasmine Tookes didn't let being nine months pregnant with her second child keep her from her duty opening the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday

SCANDALOUS SPOTTED: Pregnant Jasmine Tookes Brings the Heat Down the Catwalk at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

It was a night to remember as supermodel Jasmine Tookes, nine whole months pregnant with her second child, strutted down the catwalk in a jaw-dropping nude bodysuit and beaded fishnet midi-dress at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The expecting 34-year-old mom-to-be, who looked absolutely radiant despite her advanced pregnancy stage, stole the show alongside her fellow "Angels" at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Tookes' return to the VS runway was highly anticipated after a four-year hiatus, and she certainly didn't disappoint. As she sashayed down the catwalk in her daring outfit, complete with stiletto heels that would put even the most seasoned supermodels to shame, it was clear that Jasmine was still the queen of the game.

But what's truly remarkable about Tookes' performance is not just her stunning looks or her impressive figure – although those are certainly worthy of note. What's really fascinating is how she balanced her high-fashion show with her very real life as a mom-to-be. In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com earlier this month, Jasmine confessed that navigating motherhood the second time around was proving to be a bit more challenging than she anticipated.

"It's going to be such a special moment," she gushed about welcoming her baby boy. "My husband's family is coming into town for two to three months, so it'll be nice to have that support along with my mom and my family. It'll be a full house over here at the Tookes-Borrero household, which I'm just so excited about!"

Tookes' personal life has been making headlines as of late, but her professional endeavors are also worth noting. As the founder of her own beauty brand Brunel, Jasmine continues to be a trailblazer in the industry. She's also serving as an advisor for the AI styling app Alta and counting lucrative partnerships with top brands like Sephora, Vuori, Jimmy Choo, Laneige, Jared Jewelers, Paige, and Coterie.

Jasmine has previously strutted in every single show for the San Francisco bra brand spanning 2012-2018 as well as its rebranded return in 2024

And let's not forget that Jasmine was one of the lucky "Angels" who got to don the coveted $3M Fantasy Bra in 2016. When asked about her experience wearing the jaw-dropping emerald-encrusted bra, Tookes simply stated, "It was such an honor, and the bra was stunning – made with emeralds and diamonds. I'll never forget how special that moment was."

Jasmine's return to the VS runway has certainly generated a lot of buzz, but it seems like her fans are just as invested in her personal life as they are in her high-fashion escapades. On Instagram, Tookes' 9.4 million followers couldn't get enough of her catwalk antics, with many taking to the comments section to congratulate the expecting mom on her incredible performance.

As Jasmine prepares to welcome her second child, it's clear that she's still got what it takes to slay the fashion game – even at nine months pregnant!
