After a six-year break and a major rebrand, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made its much-anticipated return in 2024. Once known for its exclusive lineup of “Angels” and glitzy, over-the-top presentations, the show has evolved to a more inclusive image that celebrates diversity and modern beauty standards. This was after a long-time hiatus induced by declining viewership and criticisms of the brand’s unrealistic beauty standards.
Now, we’re seeing more people of color and models of all sizes on stage and it couldn’t have been better! Here’s a look at the standout VSFS models who lit up the runway this October.
Anok Yai
Anok Yai stole the spotlight at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 with her powerful presence and stunning beauty on the runway. Born to South Sudanese parents in Egypt and raised in the U.S., Anok skyrocketed to fame in 2017 when a candid photo of her went viral. Since then, she’s been the face of luxury brands like Estée Lauder and Louis Vuitton and graced countless Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar editorials.
Alex Consani
Alex Consani made waves at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as one of the first openly transgender models in the brand’s history. A natural on both the catwalk and social media, Alex first signed with IMG Models in 2019 and quickly became a Gen Z favorite thanks to her hilarious, down-to-earth TikToks that took off during the pandemic.
Beyond her modeling, Alex is a champion for inclusivity by using her platform to mix high fashion with real, relatable content that speaks to her fans. Her big moment at Victoria’s Secret didn’t just mark a milestone in her career—it was a win for LGBTQ+ representation.

Kate Moss and Lila Moss
Kate Moss and her daughter, Lila Moss, delivered an unforgettable moment at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as the ultimate mother-daughter duo. Kate, the ‘90s icon herself, made her VS debut at age 50, rocking a punk-inspired look with black lace, tulle wings, and a killer entrance set to Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ‘N Roll.”
Following her mom’s lead, Lila Moss brought her own youthful charm to the show. At 22, she walked in a fun, light pink look with a fringe jacket and cute details spelling her name in cursive, capturing her generation’s playful spirit. Together, Kate and Lila perfectly represented VS’s fresh vision—a puree of legendary style and modern flair.
Devyn Garcia
Devyn Garcia lit up the runway at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with her Miami-born confidence and signature curves. Known for her work with top fashion houses like Alexander McQueen, Jacquemus, and Brandon Maxwell, Devyn has quickly become a standout in the industry as an advocate for body diversity.
At this year’s show, Devyn described the experience as feeling like a “ballerina in a jewelry box,” loving every bit of the glam and reconnecting with friends on the runway. Her presence was a perfect fit for VS’s inclusive vision.
But just like any other girl, Devyn Garcia is just as much of a beach girly as the others. Steal a VSFS model’s beach look with Classic Specs’ Schaefer. It’s square-shaped and complements all face types—much like Devyn Garcia’s sunglasses!
Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks, a trailblazing supermodel and media mogul, made an electrifying return to the runway at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show nearly two decades after her last appearance in 2005. Known for being one of the original Victoria’s Secret’s Angels, Banks was the first Black model to receive prominent recognition from the brand throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her influence helped break boundaries for diversity in fashion, and she further built her fame as the host and creator of America’s Next Top Model.
In the 2024 Victoria’s Secret show, Tyra closed the event with her signature confidence and “smize.” She wore a crystal-studded bustier, sparkly leggings, and a dramatic silver-lined cape that captivated the audience.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid brought all the glam to the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as she opened in an all pink look. Since her early days with Guess and countless Vogue covers, Gigi has proven she can do anything and everything. She effortlessly moved between high fashion, big-name campaigns, and even TV appearances on shows like Project Runway.
For her VS return, Gigi stepped out in a belted, silky romper with a plunging neckline, oversized hoops, gladiator heels, and soft pink wings—a fresh spin on the “Angel” vibe.
Gigi Hadid’s street style is just as fashionable as her runway looks. Steal her look with a pair of Brighton in Carbon Black from Classic Specs today! This pair is your classic round shape which complements round and square face types much like Gigi Hadid’s sunglasses.
Adriana Lima
Last but not least, Adriana Lima made a jaw-dropping comeback at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with all the energy and elegance she’s known for. After her emotional farewell in 2018, fans were thrilled to see the iconic Brazilian supermodel back on the VS runway, where she’s been a staple since 1999 (minus a quick break for maternity leave). Known for her unforgettable walks and those legendary Fantasy Bra moments, Adriana is basically the queen of VS.
For her return, the 43-year-old supermodel rocked a bold black set with plaid accents, edgy cut-out sleeves, and dazzling iridescent butterfly wings. She owned the runway with her slicked-back ponytail and fierce eyeliner, showing everyone why she’s still—and will always be—one of the all-time greats.
What’s Next For Victoria’s Secret?
The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has truly metamorphosized into something bigger and better. Its new era focuses on inclusivity, empowerment, and authenticity with a diverse cast of all body types, ages, and backgrounds.
Victoria’s Secret’s efforts are also visible across its current product offerings, storefronts, and initiatives. Stores now feature mannequins with diverse body shapes, and the brand has launched the Global Fund for Women’s Cancers in collaboration with designers like Stella McCartney. These changes are part of a broader goal to build deeper, more meaningful connections with customers, moving away from prescribing “what’s sexy” to supporting women in “all phases of life.”
