It’s been six long years, but the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is finally back! The Angels dusted off their wings and returned to the glamorous catwalk. From rockstar performances to surprise appearances, the show definitely made a memorable comeback.
And the best part? Every single look on the runway was shoppable. Yep, you can snag those runway-ready styles straight from Victoria’s Secret or Amazon Fashion. Sorry though, the wings aren’t included (but we wish they were)!
Don’t expect the same 2018 vibe, it’s a little different this year

When you think of the Victoria's Secret Fashion show, you’d imagine big wings, themed costumes, and epic performances. Well, it still had that, but in our opinion, this year’s rendition appeared to be a little more toned down. The iconic wings? Still a thing. Bold, extravagant costumes and makeup? Not so much. The Fantasy Bra wasn’t present in this year’s show either. Though the show looked different, it still served up plenty of iconic moments.
After being cancelled in 2019 for a few controversies regarding inclusivity, the brand announced the return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last May on Instagram saying that their comeback was a “new and modern take” reflective of who they are as a brand. Showcasing the confidence and sexiness of all women, focusing on their mission of “celebrating and supporting all women.”
Now, let’s dive into 6 of the most memorable moments from the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show comeback.
Best moments of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024
1. BLACKPINK Lisa’s opening number was the definition of AURA
@victoriassecret Let’s ride. @LISA arrived on the runway in style and completely rocked the house. #VSFashionShow #VSFS #VictoriasSecret ♬ original sound - Victoria’s Secret
Lisa of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK showed us how to kick off a show like a rockstar goddess. Perched on a motorcycle like the queen she is, Lisa was on fire performing on the runway in a chrome bolero and a chain micro-skirt. The crowd? HYPED. The mood? Set.
The heavily choreographed performance of her solo hit Rockstar had jaws on the floor. It was a mix of edgy and sexy — a perfect way to set the tone for the whole night.
Special mention: Her Moonlit Floor performance in those gold angel wings? Beautiful!
2. Kate Moss's comeback & Victoria’s Secret runway debut
@whowhatwear she will forever be that girl 🖤 #katemoss #vsfashionshow #vsfs ♬ original sound - sounds🎧
Only the Kate Moss could come back from retirement with her epic debut at a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Strutting in a sheer black lace dress over a chic bra and panties combo, she showed us why she’s still that girl — even decades after numerous style lovers first became obsessed with her modelling campaigns for Calvin Klein.
She sashayed her way off the runway while I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts blasted in the background. Iconic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Special mention: Kate wasn’t the only one making her debut. Her daughter, Lila Moss, made her own Victoria’s Secret debut. Talk about keeping it in the fam!
3. Tyra Banks made her epic Top Model entrance

Listen, if Tyra’s coming out of retirement, you KNOW she’s going to bring the extra. Rising from beneath the stage with her fiery smize (and a fierce cape to match), Tyra left us speechless. At 50, she commanded the stage like she’d never left, showcasing her signature strut in sparkly black leggings and a curve-hugging corset.
And in true America’s Next Top Model style, she made her final walk unforgettable. Playing with her cape, serving drama — our girl still got it.
Special mention: She closed the show with a confetti shower as she led the models down the runway for one last walk. That’s how you do it!
4. Singer Tyla delivered a catwalk-ready performance
@victoriassecret Our jaws = on the floor after that entrance from @Tyla. #VSFashionShow #VSFS #VictoriasSecret ♬ original sound - Victoria’s Secret
Tyla came, she saw, and she slayed. Seriously, she could’ve walked the runway herself with the way she radiated confidence and beauty in her white feathered wings and gold bustier. Performing her single Push 2 Start, the 22-year-old South African singer interacted with the models, including Alex Consani. We also loved how she brought a sensual kind of energy!
Oh, and her transition to Water? We found the crowd fanning themselves. Petition for Victoria’s Secret to book Tyla again as a performer, and as a model for their next show.
Special mention: This wasn’t part of the show, but it should be! Tyla’s pink carpet look had us gasping: it was a hot pink cut-out gown that revealed most of her torso.
5. Cher’s powerful two-song set made fans emotional
When Victoria’s Secret promised an iconic, all-women lineup, they weren’t kidding — especially when they announced Cher as a performer. The moment Cher hit the stage, she captivated audiences with powerful renditions of Strong Enough and Believe. Dressed in goth cargo pants and a latex corset, Cher proved she’s still the ultimate icon.
Special mention: Cher’s backup dancers dressed in cutout catsuits layered over gold bras, performing on a raised platform while she belted out her hits? Pure. Fashion. Goals.
6. The Hadid sisters opened and closed the show
What’s better than one Hadid sister walking the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway? Two Hadid sisters! Older sister Gigi opened the show in an all-pink ensemble, complete with dramatic wings, as she rose from a hole in the floor — yes, you read that right. She greeted the audience with adorable waves, and we were living for it.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, Bella emerged to close the show with her breathtaking final look, and she did not disappoint. She walked down the runway toward the end of Believe, draped in a fabulous red tulle cape that left us in awe.
Special mention: Before Bella closed the show, Gigi hit the runway first, rocking a red lace bodysuit during Cher’s performance of Believe.
And just like that, the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has come to a close! While the looks may have leaned towards simplicity, the show still delivered beautifully in making epic model comebacks, killer performances and reunions happen.
