Finally diversity on the podium
Carla Bruni was able to reunite with several catwalk star friends in the 1990s: Eva Herzigova, Kate Moss but also Tyra Banks. The brand’s most famous angels were also there: Gigi Hadid opened the show with her XXL pink wings and her sister Bella was responsible for closing the show with her red coat accompanied by Cher. In the meantime, Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham, Taylor Hill paraded… In terms of musical performances, the show was provided by the star of the group Blackpink Lisa and her motorcycle, the guitarist Orianthi, but also by Tyla and Cher.
An unmissable event between 1995 and 2018, the Victoria’s Secret fashion show was stopped following several controversies, notably due to the lack of diversity on the podium. Because the public was no longer in tune with the image of exclusively thin and athletic models, the decline in interest and the drop in audiences for the television broadcast ended up putting an end to the annual parade with the cancellation of the 2019 edition.
