Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025

[prylvi]

My thoughts! :

1. The first segment made the whole show for me!
2. The performances were really boring, poor choice of acts, especially since they were completely separate from the models.
3. Jasmine was stunning!!!!!!
4. I absolutely loved Angelina! I enjoyed watching her so much.
5. Bella’s closing was kind of weak.. I wish Candice or Doutzen had closed instead.
6. Awar was amazing as always, and Anok was mesmerizing.
7. Barbie Ferreira deserves better.
8. Pink was cute, but I expected something more fun and upbeat.
9. I enjoyed the dresses, less so the pants.
10. I guess Gigi was the only one with her hair up so it wouldn’t get caught in the wings (?) — either way, it was weird that she was the only one.
11. The casting was noticeably weaker than in the previous show, but overall, this show was better in general!!
    
    *I wish Josephine, Taylor, Romee and Elsa were part of it too..

Ngl watching it again this feels like models trying to do their best but the it doesn’t give OG VS😭. So awkward this show is really dead but I guess it generates money for them.
Bella did really try to give Gisele for VSFS 2006.
Dead how Amelia’s gray backside had more screentime than her face.

I really like Karol G's performance. The songs were sexy and fit the segment. And Yasmin walking to the beat of the song is cherry on top.

This walk was literally perfect. And her turning to the rhythm of the song in total sync was just to die for. So good, I rewatched these seconds a lot of times haha

This is a pretty reliable fanpage in the Bella Hadid community….


If the wings actually were that heavy, then it completely checks out that she was constantly looking down & physically needing to inhale to catch her breath at several points. She came out looking like a glory-days glamazon in the red outfit, and then completely powered down in this one.

She should’ve had a lot more time to practice/prepare for this moment. Even in its heyday, it was really only Heidi or Tyra (or Adriana down the line… or Alessandra in 2011) that they felt comfortable giving the heaviest wings to.

Overall, I really enjoyed the show. Jasmine completely deserved her opening, especially after how she's been constantly done dirty by the VS team. I loved seeing all the OG angels, but I feel like now that they have the public opinion more so in their favor, they should start to cast new faces of the brand.

She is having time of her life! Same mindset as in show.

Despite not being objectively the most "fierce" or even the most beautiful, it's obvious what those casting directors saw in her 25 years ago. The personality is genuine and she's an absolute pleasure to be around!

Agree! Did anyone see Alessandra just vibing and having a good time at the end of the show when all the models were out? She's precious.

I think i watched another version of VSFS2025 with different camera angles. I think it was the Prime version.

We see Yasmin's iconic walk and final walk in its entirety

still can't believe that Jasmine opened the show. Last year she has just one outfit with 1 second screentime, this year she opens with big mediatique now. Everyone talk about her. I'm happy for her. I hope she continue to work with them later

The livestream link got updated to the Amazon Prime cut - you can fully see all models walking now, the entire Karol G segment got cuts changed/swapped out (and the wardrobe malfunctions got edited out, too)... and I firmly stand on my opinions now more than ever.

I also can't imagine overexerting yourself so much physically for the show only to show up at your fitting and learn you'll be covered up in your outfit(s).

Also, with this Daiane Sodre extended cut.... I must say she worked the hell out of her (solo) outfit. Another standout "newcomer" (she's been around forever so it feels almost wrong to call her one, but in this case, it applies), for sure.

You might have already read / seen the above Interview Magazine article and this W Magazine interview, but if not, it is here now. My takeaways, in no particular order:

1) For better or worse / your mileage may vary, etc, influencers are here to stay
2) Maybe this is the PR spin / influence on me, but there's always going to be a tension / balance / tradeoff between previous shows and a new show, mainly in terms of the lineup.
3) Relatedly, I am cautiously optimistic about some consistency between the runway walkers and "Contract models / Angels", in that at least Adut and Irina are in the VS Christmas campaign.

The designer, who was named creative director of the lingerie brand in spring, got as close as anyone to recapturing the fashion show’s glory days.
