"Quite disappointing": Netizens give mixed reactions to the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

The 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show took place on October 15. The event was livestreamed on Prime Video and YouTube and the fashion brand's social media channels.

This year’s show featured performances by KAROL G, Missy Elliott, Madison Beer, and TWICE. Some of the highlights included Angel Reese receiving her wings and American gymnasts Suni Lee and model Abby Champion walking the runway for the first time.

While the fans were loving the models' walk, fans also spotted Barbara Palvin’s husband, Dylan Sprouse, and Abby Champion’s husband, Patrick Schwarzenegger, in the crowd, cheering on their respective wives. The cherry on top was Bella Hadid’s walk, which fans had been waiting to see.

Some other big names that walked this year's Victoria's Secret runway were Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Anok Yai, Adriana Lima, and Gigi Hadid. Although many fans were hoping to see Kendall Jenner on the runway, she was absent from this year’s show.
