The long-awaited Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 finally made its comeback this year, and it was definitely one of the most talked-about fashion events of the season. After several years of silence and a major image crisis, the brand tried hard to redefine what “sexy” means in today’s world — and the result was both fascinating and controversial.
The show brought back some familiar faces from the golden era — iconic models like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Lily Aldridge once again walked the runway, reminding everyone of the brand’s glittery past. At the same time, new faces representing a wider range of beauty and body diversity joined them. Seeing curvy models, athletes, and women of different backgrounds on stage was truly refreshing and gave hope that the company is finally embracing real women.
However, despite these positive steps, not everything looked as healthy and empowering as it should have been. Some models appeared extremely thin, and it was hard not to feel concerned. Fashion is about art and aesthetics, but it should never come at the cost of someone’s well-being. True beauty shines brighter when health and confidence are part of it.
Celebrating All Women
Still, one of the best things about this year’s show was the brand’s clear effort to design lingerie for every body type. For years, Victoria’s Secret was criticized for promoting unrealistic standards. But now, their collections include pieces for petite, plus-size, athletic, and pregnant women, showing that femininity has no single shape. This change feels honest and overdue — a step toward celebrating all women, not just a select few.
The stage design, lighting, and music made the event feel magical again. Yet what stood out the most wasn’t just the fantasy, but the message of inclusion and transformation. It felt like Victoria’s Secret was trying to write a new chapter — one that values strength, individuality, and confidence over perfection.
The 2025 show wasn’t flawless, but it was a start. And maybe that’s exactly what the brand — and the fashion world — needs right now: a reminder that beauty can be glamorous, diverse, and real at the same time.
