Quick Summary

Gisele Bündchen made an unexpected appearance during the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles via a pre-recorded video clip where she wore pink lace lingerie and a silk robe. In her cameo, which played both before and after the show, Bündchen hinted at a potential future collaboration with the brand. Known for her debut with Victoria’s Secret in 1999, Bündchen's return is noteworthy given that it has been two decades since she last walked on the VS runway, although she had recently participated in a print campaign alongside other icons.

Story summary

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned on October 19, 2026, featuring Barbara Palvin who walked the runway six weeks after giving birth to her first child, Sylvie. The show also marked Kylie Jenner's surprise debut wearing a $50 million diamond bra created by Jacob & Co., making it the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever. The piece features a 75.54-carat natural Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond surrounded by 4,409 diamonds totaling 1,373 carats. Critics have noted that while the event is celebrated for its extravagance and return to form after a hiatus, it also raises questions about inclusivity and brand endorsements in the post-MeToo era. Kris Jenner and Timothée Chalamet supported Kylie during her runway debut, drawing mixed reactions from social media users regarding the selection of a non-Angel model for such an iconic piece.
