All eyes were on Emily Ratajkowski as she got ready backstage at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The model and actress was seen at the makeup station, preparing for one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year.
Victoria’s Secret has officially entered a new chapter focused on inclusivity and empowerment. When announcing the show’s revival, the brand shared on Instagram that it had “read the comments and heard you,” vowing to deliver a comeback that reflects “who we are today, plus everything you know and love.”
Last year’s return celebrated both nostalgia and reinvention, with Tyra Banks reclaiming her angel wings after 20 years, joined by Bella and Gigi Hadid, Paloma Elsesser, and Adriana Lima. The night glowed with performances from Lisa, Tyla, and Cher, blending the show’s signature glamour with a fresh, modern vision.
