A Los Angeles Runway After Nearly Two Decades
The 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was staged on Sunday at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. It was the first time in 19 years that the brand has mounted its runway show in that city. Adam Selman again took the creative director role for the event.[S1]
The model roster mixed familiar faces with returning names. Among those who walked were the Hadid sisters, Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani, Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosia, Anok Yai, Precious Lee, Ashley Graham, Joan Smalls and Liu Wen, along with others.[S1]
The Fantasy Bra and Notable Runway Moments
The Fantasy Bra came back to the Victoria's Secret runway for the first time since 2018, and Kylie Jenner wore it as she made her debut with the brand. Another widely noted moment came when Barbara Palvin walked only six weeks after giving birth. Elsa Hosk also returned, appearing in the show for the first time in eight years.[S1]
For a third consecutive year the evening included performances by an all-female group of artists, among them Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, Katseye and Megan Moroney. Nicole Kidman was among the celebrities watching from the front row.[S1]
The After-Party at Bird Streets Club
Once the show ended, guests moved on to the official after-party at the Bird Streets Club. Bella Hadid drew perhaps the strongest reaction of the night by restaging the black lacy minidress that Britney Spears wore to the VMAs in 2001.[S1][S7]
Other attendees made their own statements. Irina Shayk arrived in completely see-through pants, while Tate McRae chose a very short leopard-print minidress. Coverage of the evening also focused on the show's standout looks and on the partners and spouses of the models.[S1]
