The Comeback of a Lifetime: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Returns with a Bang!
Get ready for a spectacle that will leave you breathless and wanting more! After a six-year hiatus, the infamous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back, and it's better than ever. The lingerie giant has bid adieu to its "woke" era and is embracing its sexier side once again.
Sources close to the brand have spilled the beans about this year's extravaganza, which promises to be a "glitzy and sensual" affair that will leave audiences gasping in awe. Gone are the days of controversy and criticism; instead, expect a showstopping spectacle that celebrates female beauty and glamour.
The lineup is star-studded, featuring some of the most recognizable faces in the industry. Irina Shayk, Adriana Lima, Emily Ratajkowski, Lily Aldridge, Barbara Palvin, Behati Prinsloo, and Joan Smalls are all set to strut their stuff down the catwalk. British bombshell Iris Law, daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, will also make her debut alongside Patrick Schwarzenegger's new wife Abby Champion.
But that's not all - Euphoria actress Barbie Ferreira is also confirmed to attend, along with a host of other A-list models who have made the cut. Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashley Graham, Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes, Paloma Elsesser, Stella Maxwell, and Taylor Hill are just some of the names rumored to be joining the roster.
Will Bella Hadid and Heidi Klum make a guest appearance? Only time will tell! As for Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, it's anyone's guess whether they'll take to the runway. One thing's for sure - their absence won't go unnoticed.
This year's VS Fashion Show will be livestreamed on Amazon Live and all of Victoria's Secret's social media platforms, so you can join in on the fun from the comfort of your own home. But don't worry if you miss out; the show starts at 7 p.m. ET, and it promises to be a night to remember.
But what led to this comeback? Sources close to the brand reveal that sales have been sluggish since the last show, and Victoria's Secret wants to "ramp up" its allure once more. And boy, are they succeeding! Gone are the days of controversy and criticism; instead, expect a celebration of female beauty and sex appeal.
So what exactly went wrong during Victoria's Secret's "woke" era? Well, let's just say it was a messy affair. In 2018, top executive Ed Razek found himself at the center of a scandal after employees alleged he had made unwanted advances on several models. The New York Times reported that he had attempted to kiss models, asked them to sit on his lap, and even touched one model's crotch before the runway show.
Alyssa Miller, who occasionally modeled for Victoria's Secret, described Razek as exuding "toxic masculinity." Bella Hadid was allegedly subjected to an uncomfortable fitting session with Razek present. And let's not forget Jeffrey Epstein, who was once an adviser to billionaire chief executive Les Wexner and even posed as a recruiter to access young models.
According to The Scholarly Note.com, allegations against Ed Razek included:
- Attempting to kiss models
- Asking them to sit on his lap
- Touching one model's crotch before the runway show
In 2018, Andi Muise claimed that Victoria's Secret stopped hiring her after she rejected Razek's advances. Casey Crowe Taylor, a former public relations employee at Victoria's Secret, described the culture as "brainwashing" and said anyone who tried to speak out was ignored or punished.
Les Wexner allegedly mocked the retail industry's efforts to embrace diversity by saying, "Nobody goes to a plastic surgeon and says, 'Make me fat.'"
It seems that Victoria's Secret has learned from its mistakes. The brand is now embracing its sexier side once again, and it couldn't come at a better time. With its star-studded lineup and promise of a glitzy and sensual affair, this year's VS Fashion Show is set to be one for the ages.
So grab your tickets, get ready to party, and join in on the fun! The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returns with a bang, and we can't wait to see what this comeback has in store.
