Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026: Angels, Glamour and the Return of the Fantasy Bra

The glamour of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to the spotlight on October 18, 2026, as the iconic lingerie brand brought its highly anticipated runway event to Los Angeles, California, combining fashion, music and elaborate runway designs.

Known for its signature angel wings, sparkling lingerie and celebrity appearances, the show brought together established supermodels and newer faces, reaffirming its place as one of fashion’s most recognisable entertainment spectacles.

One of the biggest highlights was the return of the famous Fantasy Bra, which had been absent from the runway since 2018. Designed in collaboration with luxury jeweller Jacob & Co., the 2026 creation was reported to be worth $50 million and featured 4,410 diamonds, including a 75.54-carat yellow diamond.

Kylie Jenner was among the evening’s biggest talking points after wearing the $50 million Fantasy Bra, marking her first appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway. Meanwhile, veteran model Adriana Lima returned for her 21st show, while Barbara Palvin walked just six weeks after giving birth to her first child.

The show also featured an all-female musical lineup comprising Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, Megan Moroney and KATSEYE, blending live performances with the brand’s signature runway presentation.

Beyond the glamour, Victoria’s Secret continues to evolve its approach to fashion and representation. The brand has brought back familiar elements such as the angel wings and Fantasy Bra while featuring models with different body types and backgrounds.

Its 2026 show also extended beyond the runway through Angels Among Us, a YouTube docuseries following aspiring models as they compete for an opportunity to become the brand’s newest Angel. Solange was subsequently announced as the newest Angel following the show.

The return of the Fantasy Bra and the appearance of established models alongside newer faces show how the brand is drawing on its history while seeking to attract a new generation of fashion audiences.

The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was therefore not just a display of lingerie and extravagant costumes, but also a reminder of how fashion brands use celebrity culture, entertainment and digital platforms to remain relevant in a competitive industry.
