The Victoria’s Secret Runway Show 2025 was nothing short of spectacular. While some tuned in for the high-energy performances, others were captivated by the stunning new collection and of course, the lineup of models (and first-timers) who owned the stage.
If you’ve yet to watch the runway show, fret not. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the highlights you might have missed out on:
Jasmine Tookes
Californian-born model Jasmine Tookes made a powerful return to the runway. This time for two. Nine months pregnant, she opened the show glowing in a gold fishnet dress that highlighted her baby bump. At the end of the runway, she paused to cradle her stomach, radiating confidence, beauty, and pure maternal energy.
Pro-Athletes Make Their Runway Debut
The show also spotlighted athleticism and strength with Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee and WNBA star Angel Reese making their runway debuts. Walking alongside icons like Candice Swanepoel and Alessandra Ambrosio, both athletes proved they could serve game on the court and serve looks on the runway.
TWICE Makes K-Pop History
In one of the night’s biggest moments, TWICE became the first-ever K-pop girl group to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Runway Show. Members Nayeon, Momo, Jihyo, and Tzuyu lit up the stage with energetic performances of ‘This Is For’ and ‘Strategy’, bringing a fun, infectious energy that had the crowd on their feet.
Other Star-Studded Performances: Missy Elliott, Madison Beer and Karol G
Music powerhouses took over the stage throughout the night. Missy Elliott delivered a nostalgic, high-energy set with hits like ‘Get Ur Freak On’, ‘Work It’, and ‘Lose Control’. Karol G brought Latin flair with ‘Ivonny Bonita’ and ‘Latina Forever’, and even strutting down the runway herself at one point.
Meanwhile, Madison Beer made headlines with the first-ever live performance of “Bittersweet”, alongside “Make You Mine” and “Yes Baby”.
Fresh New Faces
It was also a night of fresh faces. Emily Ratajkowski made her Victoria’s Secret debut, joining a new generation of runway stars including Barbie Ferreira, Quen Blackwell, Iris Law, Amelia Gray, and Precious Lee.
The Return of the Hadid Sisters
Bella Hadid showed off her new honey-blonde hair during the fiery red segment of the show, where she was joined by her sister Gigi. Fun fact, did you know Gigi Hadid made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut ten years ago?
