How to watch, returning models and more

The Angels are back on the runway.

Victoria's Secret is bringing back its popular fashion show after a five-year hiatus (and much controversy).

After trying out a “new version” of the TV special with 2023's Victoria's Secret: The Tour, the lingerie extravaganza is returning to its original format – albeit with some major updates.

Below are all the details on what to expect from this year's VS Fashion Show – including which A-list models to expect on the runway, who will be performing and more.

Here's how to watch

Fans can watch the show live on October 15 at 7 p.m. ET on Amazon Live and Prime Video, as well as Victoria's Secret's YouTube, TikTok and Instagram channels.

The red carpet pre-show, hosted by Olivia Culpo and TikToker Tefi Pessoa, begins at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The show will also be available to rewatch on YouTube following the first livestream.

Which models will walk the catwalk?

Many Victoria's Secret OGs are back this year — including Tyra Banks, who will be showing off her skills on the VS runway 19 years after her last appearance on the VS runway.

Gigi Hadid, Barbara Palvin, Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham, Jasmine Tookes, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Taylor Hill and more were also announced as part of the supermodel cast.

In addition, Carla Bruni, 56, is among the models making their VS catwalk debut.

Who is performing?

Cher will take the stage as the main actress, Tyla and K-pop star Lisa will also be on stage.

This is the first time the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has an all-female musical lineup; Previous artists include Harry Styles, Halsey, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, The Weeknd and more.

Tyla told the brand ahead of the show: “I'm performing alongside my friend Lisa and the legend Cher!! How the hell??!! Just us girls! I know it’s going to be a very special night for us and a night that “young Tyla” would die for, so I’m really excited!”

Why the break?

In 2019, Victoria's Secret announced that it was rethinking its annual TV presentation, which has aired on CBS and ABC for nearly 20 consecutive years.

The company suffered from declining viewership and much criticism over the lack of body and racial diversity on the runway. Former VS CEO Les Wexner's connection to Jeffrey Epstein also damaged the company's image.

After a number of models spoke out against the company, Victoria's Secret overhauled its leadership team and hired a number of new models in 2020. They also enlisted entertainers and activists like Priyanka Chopra and Megan Rapinoe to usher in the new era.

What's new and different this time?

“We've been reading the comments and listening to you,” Victoria's Secret wrote on Instagram when it announced this year's show.

“The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is BACK and will reflect who we are today and everything you know and love – glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment and more! Stay tuned…it only gets more iconic from here on out.”

And on its website, the brand promises an “inclusive” show, writing: “Victoria's Secret is focused on celebrating and supporting all women, and that won't be changing anytime soon.”
