Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Returns After Hiatus

The Victoria's Secret fashion show returned after a six-year hiatus, showcasing a revamped image focused on inclusivity and diversity amidst past controversies linked to body image and leadership issues. The show featured a star-studded lineup, including iconic models like Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss, while also introducing new faces representing various body types and gender identities. Critics noted that despite the brand's attempts to modernize and embrace inclusivity, the production was met with mixed reactions, with some branding it 'boring' and overly focused on gender ideology. The event was streamed live and featured an all-female musical lineup, including performances by Cher and K-Pop star LISA. Makeup trends inspired by the show reflect a return to early 2000s aesthetics, highlighting a luminous glow and healthy skin over heavy makeup. The juxtaposition of nostalgia for the old Victoria's Secret and the push for a modern, diverse brand identity continues to generate debate among fashion enthusiasts.
