After six years of absence, the famous Victoria’s Secret fashion show is making a comeback, marked by the presence of a French Angel, Carla Bruni. Someone told me…it was great!
At 56, Carla Bruni made history by donning the iconic Victoria’s Secret wings. On October 15, during the show in Brooklyn, the Franco-Italian singer and model paraded in a spectacular black outfit, with heart-shaped wings decorated with rhinestone fringes. This moment was immortalized by Eva Herzigova, another model present backstage.
On Instagram, Carla shared her joy and thanked the brand for this opportunity. She posted a video of herself, with a touching message: “Thank you so much @victoriassecret #VSFashionShow for giving me new wings at my ripe old age…”. She perfectly embodied the new face of the brand, now more inclusive and diverse.
Carla Bruni, a French Angel who breaks the codes
Carla Bruni doesn’t fit the typical image of Victoria’s Secret Angels. Known for her committed positions, she participated in the campaign Pink Octoberto raise awareness of breast cancer screening. This gesture clearly illustrates the evolution of Victoria’s Secret, which wants to move away from the image of exclusively young and sexualized models.
Carla Bruni symbolizes this new era, where age diversity and social commitments take precedence as much as beauty.
A show under the sign of inclusion
After six years of hiatus, the brand has decided to break with past criticism. From now on, she favors diversity and acceptance of bodies. The return of icons such as Gigi Hadid and Candice Swanepoel, alongside new faces like Devyn Garcia and Paloma Elsesser, illustrates this new brand image.
The event, punctuated by spectacular musical performances, also saw the participation of Lisa, member of Blackpink, and the legendary Cher. A new version of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was born, more inclusive, without losing its glamour.
It seems to us that the Victoria’s Secret show is reborn, like a sexy phoenix, from its ashes. Expect to see a grandiose competition between Etam and the American brand.
