The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to Los Angeles for the first time in 19 years on Sunday, bringing sizzling lingerie looks to Sony Studios in Culver City, California.

Kylie Jenner, 29, stunned viewers as she made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut in the brand’s gemstone-encrusted $50 million fantasy bra. It’s the first time the brand has put the bra on its runway since 2018.

Her show-stopping look was paired with a sheer mini skirt, silver panties, clear heels and angelic white wings. 

The reality TV star was cheered on by boyfriend Timothee Chalamet and mom Kris Jenner who watched her from the front row. 

Jenner’s appearance in the coveted bra sparked ire from a number of fans, with one writing on X that it was ‘a smack in the face to the actual models who worked hard.’ 

‘So they’re just letting anyone wear it?’ another commentator asked, while someone else branded the move ‘disrespectful.’

The iconic event also featured musical performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Katseye, Megan Moroney and Tate McRae.

A major moment was the reveal and runway debut of Victoria’s Secret’s newest Angel, Solange Omon, who was recently discovered through the brand’s YouTube streaming series Angels Among Us.

The show marked its third year back following a six-year hiatus that threatened the future of the iconic lingerie brand. 

However, the excitement hasn’t been entirely without controversy, as some big names were noticeably snubbed from the glittering line-up of models. 

Earlier this month, fans of the show vowed to boycott the event after several beloved supermodels were rejected from walking the catwalk.

Romee Strijd, 31, was among the first to detail her last-minute rejection from appearing at the show.

She took to TikTok to explain that she had attended the casting call in New York in September.

‘I trained for it this summer because I had to put a bit more energy in it since I’ve got two kids and you know how it goes – your body needs a little bit more working out than before. I felt like I wanted to do the show again even after kids because it felt like the right timing.’

Strijd, who appeared in the brand’s annual fashion show from 2014 to 2018, claimed that she then did not hear back from organizers ‘for weeks,’ which had been a ‘rollercoaster’ and ‘mentally exhausting.’

But less than an hour later, the beauty took to the video-sharing platform again with a tearful update and explained that she had just received a rejection from appearing at the show.

Re-enacting her conversation with her agent, she said she was told: ‘You were great, but they thought you wouldn’t fit in the show this year.’

The Dutch supermodel said there was confusion over the reasons behind her being turned down but that she had ‘closed the chapter.’

‘I don’t think I am going to cast any more in the future [for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show] because I don’t like the way it went, I don’t like how the whole process went, I don’t like the way I was treated and I would love to keep the positive memories of VS,’ she concluded.

And she wasn’t the only one. Fellow former angel Frida Aasen, 31, commented on Strijd’s video with an update of her own.

The Norwegian beauty, who walked in 2017 and 2018, wrote: ‘I’m so sad you didn’t get it! I also went to the casting and it was a no. It sucks but sending you lots of love.’

As news of their absences began to circulate on social media, dozens of fashion lovers vowed to boycott the show.

‘Doesn’t fit with the show?! You ARE the show,’ one wrote.

‘I’m devastated. You literally embody angel energy, there’s so many other people out here rooting for you, this is so unprofessional having you there would’ve been such a highlight!’ another added.

The show, which debuted in 1995, returned in 2024 following a six-year hiatus. Last year’s runway featured familiar faces including Hadid and Lima, the brand’s longest-serving Angel. 

WNBA star Angel Reese made history as the first professional athlete to walk in the show, while Jasmine Tookes showed off her baby bump on the runway.

For decades, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was one of the most coveted runway events.

It first kicked off in 1995 and immediately attracted immense buzz, with some of the biggest models on the globe walking in the fashion show.

By 2001 it was being broadcast live on television, and each year, millions tuned in to watch the stunning models strut their stuff and the A-list performers dazzle on stage.

Earlier this month, Romee Strijd, 31, fought back tears as she revealed that she’s been cut from the Victoria’s Secret catwalk show with just one week’s notice for ‘not being a good fit’

But in 2019, after more than two decades of it reigning supreme, the annual show was canceled amidst immense criticism over the brand’s lack of diversity when it comes to body types before then-chief marketing officer Ed Razek’s eyebrow-raising comments about trans and plus-sized models.

In 2024, the Angels returned to the catwalk after a six year hiatus with a more diverse roster including plus-size models, such as Ashley Graham, and transgender models.

However, the show was derided as lackluster and lacking the traditional glamour for which the brand was known. 

By 2025, Victoria’s Secret’s new CEO Hillary Super announced plans to return to its ‘unapologetically sexy’ branding and move away from its woke rebrand.

The lingerie company embraced its bombshell roots after years of struggling sales and a tepid response to its diverse catwalk the year prior.
