The Victoria's Secret Show: A Controversial Comeback
If you've been anywhere near social media lately, you couldn't have missed the buzz surrounding the highly anticipated Victoria's Secret show. The iconic brand's 2025 showcase, held at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, New York, has sparked a wave of excitement and controversy.
But here's where it gets interesting: some of the biggest names in the modeling industry graced the runway, including the legendary Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, and the Hadid sisters, Gigi and Bella. However, one notable absence was Jasmine Tookes, who has been a staple at previous shows.
Among the returning angels, one name stood out as a debutante - Emily Ratajkowski, or EmRata as she's affectionately known. It's hard to believe that this 34-year-old supermodel, who started modeling at 14, had never walked for Victoria's Secret until now.
For her first VS appearance, Emily turned heads in a stunning 'Dream Angels' ensemble, consisting of a push-up bra and g-string, paired with sheer pink opera gloves and Rene Caovilla's sparkling heels. The look was completed with a dramatic, petal-like structure, resembling a blooming flower, encrusted with rhinestones.
And this is the part most people miss: Victoria's Secret shows are not just about the lingerie; they're a spectacle, a fashion statement, and a platform for diverse beauty standards. Emily's debut showcases the brand's evolving image, embracing a broader range of models and styles.
Fans were quick to celebrate Emily's long-awaited VS moment, with comments like "I've always wanted to see you there" and "The best to ever do it." But some couldn't help but wonder, "How does her ex live with himself?"
While this may be Emily's first walk for Victoria's Secret, it's safe to say it won't be her last. The brand's comeback era has only just begun, and with it, a new wave of diversity and glamour.
