Doutzen Kroes made a triumphant return to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on October 15, 2024, after a ten-year hiatus, showcasing her professionalism despite a shoe malfunction during her runway walk. As she strutted in a blush pink lingerie set, her heel got caught in the catwalk, but she quickly bent down to resolve the issue before resuming her walk to cheers from the audience. Kroes reminisced about her decade away from the fashion world, expressing disbelief at the passage of time and a newfound acceptance of aging and beauty. This year's show marked Victoria's Secret's return after a six-year break, which had been marred by criticism over inclusivity and body positivity. Alongside Kroes, other iconic models like Gigi Hadid and Tyra Banks also graced the runway, rekindling the brand's legacy. The event, while celebrated, faced mixed reviews, with some fans labeling it 'the most boring show ever.'
