Victoria's Secret Fashion Show features celebrity guests, surprise appearances and protests
The Los Angeles-based show included runway highlights, celebrity mingling, a surprise appearance by Kylie Jenner in the $50 million Fantasy Bra, and protests outside the venue.
Los Angeles – The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 18 at Sony Pictures Studios combined runway spectacles with a star-studded pink-carpet reception and outside protests. Models such as Bella Hadid opened the show in a beaded look, while veteran Angel Adriana Lima closed it in a white ensemble with sculptural wings. Kylie Jenner made a surprise runway appearance wearing the brand’s $50 million Fantasy Bra, which is set with 4,410 natural diamonds.
Guests arrived on pink-clad shuttles and were greeted with frozen strawberry tequila cocktails, strawberry margaritas, watermelon mocktails and sparkling wine. The pre-show reception allowed attendees to spot industry figures including stylist Law Roach, reality-TV star Tan France, and Kris Jenner, who sat beside actor Timothée Chalamet.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, known for work with the KarJenner family, was also present near the front of the runway. Television personality Justin Sylvester was noted for loudly calling out to models as they passed, prompting reactions from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jasmine Tookes and Precious Lee.
Actor Dylan Sprouse, seated beside his wife model Barbara Palvin, filmed her runway walk and cheered her return to the catwalk after the couple welcomed a daughter six weeks earlier.
Outside the studio, protesters displayed pink signs reading “Report workplace harassment & violence” and “No more secrets,” approaching guests to hand out messages and request photos with the signs.
