Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Bad, cheesy outfits, Adriana Lima can't save it

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show officially returned after many years of absence. The show quickly attracted the attention of fashion enthusiasts, however, the return of the veteran "angels" did not live up to expectations.

"Victoria's Secret's Most Boring Show"

The 2024 Victoria's Secret Show returns after a 6-year hiatus, witnessing the return of the brand's veteran angels such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Taylor Hill, Barbara Palvin, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo...

The show took place on the evening of October 15 (local time) in New York (USA), marking the first time Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio walked the Victoria's Secret catwalk. She was the first transgender model to represent the brand in 2019. In addition to Sampaio, transgender model Alex Consani was present.

Cher, Tyla and Lisa ( BlackPink) were the performers of the night. The runway was opened by a plus-size model, in line with the show's criteria of honoring women's beauty this year. After 5 hours of broadcasting on YouTube, the show attracted more than 10 million viewers.

This change by Victoria's Secret was not well received by the audience. Many criticized that the value of Victoria's Secret's products was reduced by trying to meet contemporary social standards.

"The stage couldn't be more bland. Not to mention the lack of interaction between the models and singers. The models' performances were bland, and the costumes were also ugly. The comeback was not as explosive as expected", "The models were bad in both body shape and catwalk, the stage layout had no highlights, didn't highlight the products they wore or make people want to buy them. The catwalk lacked energy, didn't have the angelic vibe that made viewers wow like in the old days", "Victoria's Secret is really out of date, only leaving disappointment"... Audiences commented on the return of this famous show.

The Dailymail quoted fans as calling it "the most disappointing, boring show ever". Viewers said Victoria Secret had not listened to the public's demands. This was not the show they wanted, with no iconic catwalk, many lifeless haute couture outfits striding, no smiles, kisses and waves.

Victoria's Secret's veteran models return

Gigi Hadid opened the show in pastel wings and a shimmering pink outfit. The runway also saw the return of Doutzen Kroes. The 39-year-old beauty wore silver metallic wings and a pastel outfit.

Victoria's Secret favourite Candice Swanepoel also made her long-awaited return to the catwalk. However, the blonde beauty failed to impress in a strapless lingerie set and sparkly bra.

Kate Moss's 22-year-old lookalike daughter, Lila, made her Victoria's Secret debut alongside Candice and Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.

The show's next segment had a 'rock 'n' roll' theme, opening with legendary 1990s supermodel Kate Moss. The 50-year-old model wore black feather wings and a sheer lace dress over a bodysuit.

Adam Levine's wife, model Behati Prinsloo, stunned everyone with her sex.y outfit. She wore a black dress with a high slit, strappy heels and unique silver chrome wings.

Bella Hadid stood out as she walked the runway in a red outfit. The outfit helped the 28-year-old beauty show off her toned abs.

"Brazilian model" Adriana Lima has been considered one of the "souls" of Victoria's Secret for two decades. Therefore, her performance was also highly anticipated by the audience. However, contrary to public expectations, Adriana Lima had a rather bad performance, and the main reason came from Victoria's Secret's "ugly" outfit.

Accordingly, Adriana Lima had to wear a see-through outfit with an outdated striped pattern. Many opinions said that the outfit was too "cheesy" and lacked sophistication compared to previous collections of Victoria's Secret. What was even more disappointing was that Adriana had to reuse the angel wings from the old collection, instead of wearing a new pair.

Despite her confident demeanor and toned body after three births, Adriana Lima still couldn't save the "cheesy" look of Victoria's Secret this year. The lackluster design and color scheme contributed to making the supermodel's image boring. On forums, netizens continuously expressed disappointment that the outfit wasn't outstanding enough to highlight Adriana Lima's beauty, even though the mother of three has a nearly perfect body.
