Emily Ratajkowski looked like a dream on one of the most iconic runways. The 34-year-old model made her stunning debut at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, lighting up the stage alongside Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Barbara Palvin, and more.
The night shimmered with confidence, music, and star power — and Ratajkowski’s appearance quickly became one of its defining moments.

A Dream Come True for Ratajkowski

At the time, she called it a dream come true to follow in the footsteps of legends like Adriana Lima, Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen, and Candice Swanepoel.
“Those women were larger than life to me—they still are in many ways—and that’s what it means to be iconic,” she told Popsugar in 2023. “Their beauty and the images they created were so artful. They represent so much.”
Now, Ratajkowski represents a new chapter in the brand’s evolution—one celebrating empowerment and authenticity. She wasn’t the only debut star of the night; WNBA player Angel Reese and Olympic gymnast Suni Lee made history as the first athletes to walk the iconic runway.
“It means everything to me,” Reese told E! News before the show. “There are so many great women who have done this. I’m grateful and I’m really going to enjoy it.”
As the night closed, Ratajkowski’s radiant energy and confidence left no doubt: she’s not just walking the runway—she’s redefining it.
