After being cancelled in 2019, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is finally set to return in 2024. Former Angels such as Tyra Banks, Candice Swanepoel and Taylor Hill will walk the runway alongside fresh faces like Paloma Elsesser and Devyn Garcia.
Speaking to WWD in July, Janie Schaffer, chief design and creative officer, and Sarah Sylvester, executive vice president of marketing, ensured that hallmarks of previous shows — including wings, starry performers and more — will be present in the new and improved iteration. As fans may remember, themed runways inspired by everything from hippies to Santa Claus to Greek goddesses were a signature staple of the televised spectacle.
In honor of the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, a look back at some of the kitschiest, sexiest and downright fantastical segments of all time.
