Last held in Los Angeles in 2007 (19 years ago), The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to the West Coast on Sunday, Oct. 18 in all its pink and glittery glory. Fashionistas, models and lingerie fans flocked to Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City for the 2026 event that also streamed live on the brand’s YouTube channel at 4:30 p.m. (Watch it here.)
L.A. brought the star power: Sitting runway-side were Nicole Kidman and her 18-year-old daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (who models), Timothée Chalamet and Kris Jenner (supporting Kylie Jenner, who made her VS runway debut), Lisa Rinna and her daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin (her other daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin walked in the show), Patrick Schwarzenegger (whose wife Abby Champion walked), Maria Shriver, Dylan Sprouse (whose wife Barbara Palvin walked in the show after just giving birth last month), Vanessa Bryant (whose 23-year-old daughter with late NBA star Kobe Bryant, Natalia Bryant, made her VS runway debut), Law Roach, Whitney Port, Tinashe, Tan France and more.
After enjoying cocktails and snacks (like burgers, fries and pink popsicles) at a pink-themed setup outdoors, guests migrated inside and found their seats for the show. Under the creative direction of Adam Selman, the show took viewers on a journey through the four seasons with seven sections: Spring Awakening (pastel styles to renew your VS obsession), Vintage Victoria (rare collector’s items reissued exclusively from the VS Archives), Summer Fever (electric looks that spark desire), PINK Halftime Show (pieces packed with main-character energy), Autumn Changes (rich pieces layered in romanticism), Winter Melody (soft-as-snow looks that bring comfort to winter’s chill) and Winter Reprise (crystal-encrusted styles as brilliant as the women who wear them).
Many OG Victoria’s Secret Angels returned for the occasion — including Alessandra Ambrosio (who celebrated her 20th VS fashion show), Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (back after a 16-year hiatus), Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Palvin, Doutzen Kroes, Elsa Hosk, Grace Elizabeth and Jasmine Tookes.
Other returning VS models included Bella and Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, Ashley Graham, Imaan Hammam, Irina Shayk, Liu Wen, Champion, Cindy Bruna, Hamlin and Precious Lee. Meanwhile, Jenner, Bryant, Trinity Rodman (Dennis Rodman’s 24-year-old daughter, a soccer player), Honey Ordoñez and Solange Omon (who won the brand’s YouTube docuseries competition, Angels Among Us) were among those making their debut.
Bella Hadid opened the show wearing a floral-embellished bra with a lime-green miniskirt coverup and matching thong. Lima closed the show in a white beaded and fringed look, paired with white angel wings. And another major moment was when Kylie Jenner (previously unannounced and hidden until lit by lights at the end of the catwalk) modeled a $50 million bra Fantasy Bra — a fan-favorite item designed by Jacob & Co.
The performers also delivered — with their fashion as much as their energetic numbers. A pink-clad Megan Moroney performed three songs (“6 Months Later,” “Wish I Didn’t” and “Sorry… I Meant Tonight”). Tate McRae was red-hot as she sang her single “Housewife.”
KATSEYE, in colorful corset tops and mini skirts, turned up the energy with lively dance routines to “Pinky Up” and “Animal.” And Megan Thee Stallion put on a show (and bared her bottom) in a glittery lingerie top and black thong when she sang hits “Her” and “Body.”
But the best moment was when ADÉLA’s song “Nicole Kidman” blared — and the bashful star doubled over in laughter from the front row as the lyrics chimed: “Babygirl in control, I feel like Nicole.” Shop the items in the show here.
