The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, held on October 15 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was more than just a display of lingerie; it was a celebration of strength, grace, and the multifaceted lives of the women who wear the wings.
Jasmine Tookes made a historic return to the runway, opening the show while nine months pregnant.
She wore a golden, fishnet-style dress adorned with teardrop-shaped gems and a clamshell-shaped cape, cradling her baby bump with pride.
Her appearance was a powerful statement of confidence and beauty, showcasing that motherhood is a strength to be celebrated.
Gigi Hadid, mother to daughter Khai, returned to the Victoria’s Secret runway with two stunning looks.
She donned a dazzling all-pink ensemble featuring a two-piece lingerie set with a sparkly bustier and lacy boy briefs, complemented by a sprawling cape embellished with 3D rose petals.
Later, she graced the stage in an angelic all-white look with massive quilted wings, proving that motherhood only adds to her radiant presence.
Though not all disclosed motherhood publicly, the aura of experience hovered around veterans like Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, and Ashley Graham , models who’ve balanced visible careers with hidden, intimate lives.
The models walking motherhood, pregnant or postpartum, disrupted the old narrative: that beauty on the VS stage demands sterility. Here, humanity gleamed.
Young girls watching saw wings on more than just idealized forms. They saw women with stories, obligations, love, and growth.
In the shift toward authenticity, this show embraced complexity.
It’s not “motherhood outside the spotlight” anymore, it’s motherhood in the spotlight.
