Victoria's Secret 2025: Supermodel Moms Reign Supreme on the Runway!

GIGI HADID, ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO, AND JASMINE TOOKES: THE UNLIKELY SUPERMODEL SUPERMUMS RECLAIMING THEIR FAME AT VICTORIA'S SECRET SHOW

In a bold move to reclaim their sex appeal and relevance in the ever-changing world of fashion, the Victoria's Secret brand brought back its iconic supermodel lineup for a highly anticipated show on Wednesday night. But what caught everyone's attention was not just the jaw-dropping performances or daring outfits worn by the likes of Gigi Hadid, 30, Adriana Lima, 44, and Emily Ratajkowski, 34 – it was their remarkable transformation from high-flying supermodels to devoted mothers.

As the catwalk sizzled with the presence of these stunning matriarchs, the audience couldn't help but be mesmerized by their renewed energy and confidence. For years, Victoria's Secret had struggled to maintain its relevance amidst a rapidly shifting fashion landscape. But with this show, the brand made a daring attempt to reclaim its 'super sexy' roots while also embracing a new era of inclusivity and body positivity.

Among the sea of supermodels strutting their stuff on the catwalk was Gigi Hadid – one of the highest-paid models in the world. But behind her glamorous facade lies a devoted mother who prioritizes family over fame. In a candid interview, she revealed how motherhood had changed her life, confessing that her morning routine now consists of "whatever Khai's having" (her daughter with ex-partner Zayn Malik) and making pancakes for her little one every day.

"I have a very mum morning routine," Gigi gushed to Wall Street Journal. "I eat whatever Khai's having. I make her pancakes and sausages every day." She also credited keeping up with her active daughter as her new fitness regime, admitting that she gets moving by walking and doing yoga with Khai.

Meanwhile, Adriana Lima – one of the oldest models on the runway at 44 – stunned the audience in a sheer sequin-covered bodysuit, flaunting her age-defying physique. A proud mother-of-three, Adriana has been an inspiration to millions with her unwavering dedication to fitness, revealing that she once walked in the Victoria's Secret show just eight weeks after giving birth to one of her daughters.

"Adriana's metabolism had slowed down," her personal trainer Michael Olajide Jr. explained to Vogue. "We had to get her burning 24/7." Her workouts included stints on an exercise bike, core work, shadowboxing and skipping – a testament to her unrelenting pursuit of fitness even in the face of motherhood.

But it was Emily Ratajkowski who stole the show with her Victoria's Secret debut at 34, a rare feat for models who typically retire from the industry by their mid-20s. Despite feeling overwhelmed by motherhood and admitting that she "lost her identity" after becoming a mum, Emily exuded confidence on the catwalk in a lavender lace bra and thong.

"I think [fashion] is actually one of the ways I really enjoy being subversive with motherhood," she said in an interview with Elle UK. "There's so much around what a mom should look like... I want to show that you can be sexy and beautiful, even when you're not looking perfect."

And then there was Jasmine Tookes – a Victoria's Secret Angel who shone bright on the catwalk alongside her fellow supermodel-mums. The 29-year-old beauty is known for her incredible physique and enviable lifestyle – but behind the glamour lies a devoted mother to a baby girl, whom she welcomed in 2021.

"I've always been drawn to strong women," Jasmine gushed in an interview with The Scholarly Note. "As a model, I think it's so cool that we get to show people what it means to be powerful and sexy at the same time." Her words echoed through the crowd as she sashayed down the catwalk, flaunting her curves and captivating the audience with her fiery energy.

In an era of increasing body positivity and inclusivity, Victoria's Secret has finally taken a bold step towards reclaiming its status as a leader in the fashion industry. By embracing their supermodel-mums and celebrating their unique experiences as mothers, the brand has sent a powerful message to the world: beauty is not just about looks – it's about confidence, self-love, and a willingness to take risks.

As Gigi Hadid concluded in her Wall Street Journal interview, "I think being a mom has made me more confident... I feel like I can be myself, and that's what makes me the most beautiful."
