Hadid returns to the Victoria’s Secret runway for the first time since 2018
Gigi Hadid made her highly anticipated return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway, opening the event on Tuesday in New York and marking her fourth appearance for the brand. This significant comeback was her first time gracing the Victoria's Secret runway since 2018.
For her opening look, Hadid embraced a soft and feminine aesthetic. She wore a satin pink bodysuit featuring a plunging neckline and gathered detailing at the waist, accented by delicate crystal embellishments. The ensemble highlighted her statuesque figure and exuded timeless elegance.
The focal point of her outfit was the iconic Victoria’s Secret Angel wings. The oversized feathered wings were designed in a soaring, ethereal style, adding drama and grandeur to her entrance. She completed the look with a pair of Rene Caovilla heels, which added a touch of sparkle to her stride down the runway.
Her grand entrance followed a high-energy performance by Lisa of Blackpink, setting an electrifying tone for the show. With her short hair styled in a sleek bob tucked behind her ears, Hadid's subtle makeup emphasized her natural beauty, allowing the stunning outfit to take center stage.
Ahead of the event, Hadid shared her excitement on Instagram, reflecting on her journey with the brand. “After today’s rehearsal I can confirm that it will forever feel like a dream come true,” she wrote. “Looking back on some of my favorite VS show moments over the years and I’m so excited to do it again tomorrow, with the most incredible, dedicated, creative VS Team & with so many women I love and some I grew up watching. It is an honor.”
Hadid’s return continues her longstanding relationship with Victoria's Secret, which began in 2015. As the founder of Guest In Residence, she has also made significant strides in the fashion industry with her focus on knitwear and sustainable designs.
After a six-year hiatus, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back. The 2024 spectacle airs live on Prime Video and across the brand’s YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok channels. Former Angels such as Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Taylor Hill walked the runway alongside new faces like Paloma Elsesser and Devyn Garcia. Musical guests for the evening included Cher, Tyla, and Lisa of Blackpink.
The show's return marks a new era for Victoria's Secret, embracing diversity and empowerment. Hadid's participation underscores the brand's commitment to featuring influential models who resonate with audiences worldwide.
