After a brief hiatus and a special one-off on Prime Video last fall, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is officially returning to the runway. Mark your calendars for October 15, when the dazzling spectacle makes its long-awaited comeback. And this year, there’s a twist. The Grammy-winning “sensation”Uppity African” Tyla is set to headline the show, bringing her electrifying Afrobeat vibes to the iconic event.
Joining Tyla on the runway will be a star-studded line-up of top models including Tyra Banks, Gigi Hadid, Paloma Elsesser, and more. Expect to see the latest in Victoria’s Secret fashions, along with stunning custom pieces designed exclusively for the show. With her vibrant personality and innovative blend of pop and R&B, Tyla has been hailed as an “integral” part of this year’s entertainment extravaganza, setting the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable night of glamour.
“I’ve always been captivated by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show—the outfits, the wings, the magic,” Tyla shared in a statement. “Now, I’m beyond excited to perform on this legendary stage. What makes this moment even more special is the celebration of diversity, with a broader range of beauty being showcased.”
While more performers are still under wraps, Victoria’s Secret has confirmed that this year’s musical line-up will be an all-female affair for the first time ever. It’s an empowering nod to the future of fashion, and a testament to the show’s evolving values.
The fashion show, which once ruled the airwaves on CBS, was cancelled back in 2019 amid declining ratings and growing criticism of the brand’s outdated marketing strategies. But the team at Victoria’s Secret is ready to turn a new page, stating that this year’s show will deliver all the “glamour, wings, fashion, and musical entertainment” fans know and love, now with a renewed focus on inclusivity and their modern brand mission.
In recent years, Victoria’s Secret has expanded far beyond its signature lingerie, launching collections that range from sneakers and handbags to chic dresses and full-on gowns. This year’s fashion show promises to reflect that evolution, with stunning, innovative designs that celebrate all forms of beauty.
The hype started building last month when Victoria’s Secret teased the show’s return in a playful Instagram video, with Tyra Banks handing an official invite to Gigi Hadid, all set to the tune of Chappell Roan’s “Femininomenon.” Whether Roan will make an appearance remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure, more surprises are on the way.
