Transcript
00:00Okay, the wings are officially back.
00:02The runway was, let's be honest, completely on fire.
00:06But the real tea, the drama happening just off stage, was almost as big as the show itself.
00:12Oh, totally.
00:12We are diving into the big return of the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
00:18In New York City, no less.
00:20You saw the sparkle, you saw the looks, but what really made this year stand out was all the chaos
00:25and honestly, the heart that got captured behind the scenes.
00:28Yeah, and you know what's really interesting, though?
00:30This wasn't just like, oh, we're back.
00:33This felt like they were really doubling down on the whole new direction.
00:36How so?
00:37Well, the 2025 show, it really cemented that shift away from the old untouchable fantasy thing.
00:43It's much more about real achievement now, inclusivity.
00:46Right, like mixing the high fashion with celebrating different kinds of success.
00:50Exactly.
00:51High production value, but also high visibility for, well, whole range of accomplishments.
00:55And they made sure everyone could see it.
00:57Like, it wasn't hidden away somewhere.
00:59They streamed it basically everywhere.
01:00Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Live, all the big social channels.
01:03Maximum eyeballs.
01:04They clearly wanted everyone to see this new image they're pushing.
01:07Totally.
01:07Which is why, for this deep dive, we're not just going to talk about, you know, who or what.
01:13We're really focusing on the human stories that came out.
01:16The reports we saw were incredible.
01:18Like what?
01:18Like the models who walked, despite some pretty serious physical stuff going on.
01:23The partners in the audience who were making news themselves.
01:25And honestly, some really shocking celebrity debuts that kind of changed the game for who gets to be an angel.
01:31Okay, let's get into it.
01:33Starting with those new faces.
01:35Because, yeah, some of those debuts were genuinely historic.
01:39They absolutely were.
01:40And they tie right back into that whole achievement focus we were talking about.
01:43I mean, the biggest one probably had to be Angel Reese.
01:47Wait, seriously.
01:48The WNBA star?
01:49She was on the VS runway.
01:51Yep.
01:51First professional athlete ever to walk for Victoria's Secret.
01:55Wow.
01:56That is huge.
01:57How did that go down?
01:58Reports say the crowd just went nuts when she came out.
02:00Yeah.
02:00Apparently she was like beaming, did a little twirl.
02:03She said later she just couldn't stop smiling.
02:06That's such a cool crossover moment.
02:07Like sports and high fashion colliding right there.
02:10And she wasn't the only athlete.
02:12Like Suni Lee, you know, the Olympic gymnast, she also made her debut.
02:16No way.
02:16Yeah.
02:17She walked during Twicey's performance wearing something from the pink line.
02:22So, again, you see that blend.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Athletic achievement right there on the fashion runway.
02:26It's clear to the vibe they're going for.
02:28Okay.
02:28And then there was Barbie Ferreira too, right?
02:30From Euphoria.
02:32That's right.
02:32Another debut also in a pink look.
02:34And she sounded genuinely surprised and, like, thrilled about it.
02:39Said she never even thought walking that runway was possible for her.
02:42Called it the biggest show.
02:44Oh, I love that.
02:45It makes it feel a bit more reachable.
02:47Even amidst all the glamour.
02:49Exactly.
02:50But it's interesting.
02:50They balanced these new faces with some really established icons too.
02:54Like the big return everyone was talking about.
02:56The Hadid sisters.
02:57Ah, yes.
02:58The Golden Sisters.
02:59Gigi and Bella.
03:00Both walked.
03:01Yeah.
03:01Two looks each.
03:02Gigi had these massive white wings.
03:04And Bella looked incredible in this, like, red and crystal-covered outfit.
03:08Really stood out.
03:09And with Bella, there's that whole backstory too.
03:12Her walking just days after she and her mom, Yolanda, had given updates about her Lyme disease treatment.
03:18Right.
03:18That adds such a layer to it.
03:20Seeing her back out there looking so strong after everything she's shared about her health journey over the years.
03:25Yeah.
03:25It's pretty powerful.
03:26Seriously.
03:27It speaks volumes about her resilience.
03:29And that connects straight into another theme, this idea of, like, incredible personal dedication.
03:35Because if we're talking about models walking through some real physical challenges, you are not going to believe this next bit.
03:42Okay, hit me.
03:43What's the craziest story you found?
03:45Barbara Palvin.
03:46Yeah.
03:46Okay.
03:46One of the veterans.
03:48She walked that entire runway on a half-heeled foot.
03:51Get out.
03:52Half-heeled how?
03:52Her husband, Dylan Sprouse, let it slip on the pink carpet.
03:56She broke her foot just four weeks before the show.
03:58Four weeks.
03:59Are you kidding me?
04:00And she was wearing those heels.
04:01Apparently, 105 millimeter heels.
04:03Yeah.
04:03I mean, talk about determination.
04:05That is just, wow.
04:07I stub my toe and I'm out of commission for a week.
04:10Yeah.
04:10That's actually insane.
04:12And speaking of powerhouses walking through things, Jasmine Tooks.
04:16Major moment for her opening the entire show.
04:19Yeah.
04:19Yeah.
04:20And she did it while visibly pregnant with her second child.
04:23A baby boy.
04:24Whoa.
04:25Seriously.
04:26How did they style that?
04:27She wore this amazing netted dress, totally designed to showcase her bump.
04:32And she had these beautiful seashell wings.
04:35It was such a statement, you know, about motherhood, career, all of it.
04:39Honestly, that's so inspiring.
04:41These women are like actual superheroes just getting through that night.
04:44Absolutely.
04:44And, okay, the dedication wasn't just physical stuff on the runway.
04:48It was spilling into the audience, too.
04:50The supportive spouses were practically a sideshow.
04:53The husband's in the front row giving us life.
04:55Oh, Dylan Sprouse.
04:57He just wins the supportive husband award every year, doesn't he?
04:59What did he do this time?
05:00Last year it was the pet cutouts, right?
05:02Which was hilarious.
05:03Yeah, that was classic.
05:04This year, though, much more subtle but really meaningful.
05:08He wore these little yellow ribbon pins for endometriosis awareness, you know, to support Barbara.
05:13Aw, that's actually really sweet.
05:15Right.
05:15Very thoughtful.
05:17Palvin apparently said she knew he'd have some kind of surprise planned, but that one was quite touching.
05:22I love that.
05:22Okay, who else was representing?
05:24Patrick Schwarzenegger was there, absolutely beaming, cheering on his new wife, Abby Champion.
05:29They just got married recently.
05:31Cuse.
05:31Was he on photo duty?
05:32Totally.
05:34Apparently, his instructions from Abby were very clear.
05:36You better get all the videos, all the photos.
05:38He was ready.
05:39Huh.
05:40I feel that.
05:41Every partner's job at big events.
05:44And what about Ashley Graham's husband?
05:45She walked again this year, too.
05:47Yeah, Justin Irvin.
05:48Ashley was joking backstage that he just feels blessed to be married to a model.
05:53I mean, fair.
05:54But she also said, you know, more seriously, how genuinely proud he is of her being part of it all, especially with the show's shift towards more inclusivity.
06:02That's great.
06:03Okay, so beyond the partners, what about the little backstage moments?
06:06Any good secrets?
06:07Always a few good nuggets.
06:08My personal favorite resilience moment was Devin Garcia.
06:12Oh, yeah.
06:13What happened?
06:14She had this huge, like, billowing wrap as part of her outfit, and it got totally caught on the heel of her shoe as she was walking.
06:22Oh, no.
06:23Nightmare scenario.
06:24Right.
06:24But instead of freezing or tripping, she just kind of laughed, scooped up the fabric in her hand really quickly, and just kept strutting.
06:31The crowd apparently roared.
06:32Yes.
06:33Love that.
06:34Total pro move.
06:35Grace under pressure.
06:36Exactly.
06:37Yeah.
06:37And if you're looking closely at the makeup, the glam this year was all about the shine, like hyper shine.
06:43Really?
06:44How so?
06:45Pat McGrath's team, they were apparently really heavy-handed with the highlighter, like hitting all the high points of the face, cheekbones, brow bones, even the cupid's bow to catch the light.
06:54Gave that super polished, almost wet look.
06:57Ah.
06:58Makes sense under those intense runway lights.
07:00Need that pop.
07:01Definitely.
07:02But maybe the sweetest, most relatable moment came from Gigi Hadid.
07:06Oh, what did she do?
07:07Just before the show, she posted a picture on her Instagram story, not of her getting ready, but of her daughter Kai's little lunchbox.
07:13Oh, seriously.
07:14You know, like with the tiny cartoon frog fork and everything, and she wrote something like,
07:18V.S. show mornings look a little different nowadays.
07:21Okay, that's adorable.
07:22And so real, like, yes, you're about to wear giant wings, but first, toddler lunch prep.
07:27It totally grounds it, doesn't it?
07:29Yeah.
07:29Which, again, seems to be the whole point of this new V.S. era.
07:32Ah.
07:33Okay, can we talk about the music?
07:35Because that lineup was electric.
07:37Yes.
07:38All female performers, right?
07:39All female, kicking off with Missy Elliott making her V.S. debut.
07:43Missy Elliott.
07:44Legendary.
07:45How was she?
07:46Insane.
07:47Performed a whole medley work at all the hits, wore this amazing sparkly all-black outfit.
07:51Reports said people like Law Roach were just losing their minds in the audience.
07:55Pure icon energy.
07:57Exactly what that show needs.
07:58Who else?
07:59History moment number two.
08:00Twice performed.
08:02They became the first K-pop group ever on the V.S. stage.
08:05Wow.
08:05That's huge for K-pop and for the show.
08:08What were they wearing?
08:08Baby pink and black looks from the pink line.
08:11Looked amazing.
08:11Apparently brought incredible energy.
08:13And Carol G was there too, right?
08:14Keeping the global vibe going.
08:16Yes.
08:17The Colombian superstar.
08:19She came out in this glittering red cat suit, matching shoes, just full energy.
08:24And then, get this, she closed her set by walking the runway herself, wearing her own set of angel wings.
08:30Okay.
08:31Earned.
08:31If you bring that much fire, you deserve the wings.
08:33Love it.
08:34Totally deserved.
08:35And, you know, holding all this spectacle together were the details.
08:38Like the shoes.
08:39Ooh, tell me about the shoes.
08:40Were they custom?
08:41Totally custom.
08:42Renee Calvia was the official partner.
08:43They made everything thigh-high boots, mules, those crazy 105-millimeter heels Barbara Palvin somehow walked in.
08:51The broken foothills?
08:53The very same.
08:53Yeah.
08:54All apparently featuring their signature bling, like sparkling crystals and that famous Stardust sole.
08:59Proper luxury.
09:00Nice.
09:00And the guest list must have been pretty major too.
09:02Any surprise appearances?
09:03The biggest surprise was probably Sarah Jessica Parker on the pink carpet.
09:07Yeah.
09:07Just showed up looking chic and all black.
09:09It's JP.
09:10Okay.
09:10Unexpected but iconic.
09:12But wait, what was that story you mentioned earlier, the most relatable pink carpet moment?
09:16Jenna Lyons.
09:17Oh my God, yes.
09:18You have to hear this.
09:19Jenna Lyons was telling reporters about her first Victoria's Secret memory.
09:22Okay.
09:23It involved her realizing what a thong was.
09:26Ugh.
09:26And then having to ask her dad, who was apparently six foot seven.
09:31Six foot seven.
09:32Six foot seven.
09:33To drive her to the VS store in Palos Verdes so she could buy her first ones.
09:37Stop it.
09:38That is the most hilariously awkward, amazing story ever.
09:42Imagine that car ride.
09:43She literally said it was really awkward, but also great.
09:47It's just perfect.
09:48That's the kind of realness I love mixed in with the fantasy.
09:50Okay.
09:50So pulling it all together then, what's the big picture here?
09:54I think it's exactly that mix.
09:55You've got the absolute spectacle, right?
09:57The custom shoes, the enormous wings, the superstars.
10:00But it's all woven together now with these really intimate, sometimes vulnerable human stories.
10:05Yeah.
10:06The fantasy meets reality, like supermodels dealing with broken feet or packing school lunches
10:11or sharing their health struggles, plus celebrating athletes and actresses alongside the traditional models.
10:17And that really feels like the core message Victoria's Secret cemented this year.
10:23They've moved past just selling, I don't know, perfection.
10:26Now it feels like they're celebrating achievement, resilience, the whole context of these women's lives.
10:33So the model isn't just a face anymore.
10:35She's an athlete, a mom, a patient.
10:37Exactly.
10:38And those other dimensions, that realness, it makes her story and maybe the brand itself feel more, well, powerful, more relevant maybe.
10:48That really seems like the key takeaway for you listening.
10:50Think about it.
10:51The moments everyone was buzzing about weren't just the outfits.
10:54It was Barbara Palvin's foot, Gigi's lunchbox post, Jasmine Took's walking pregnant.
10:59Which kind of leads to a bigger question, doesn't it?
11:01In this age of social media where celebs often try so hard to control their image, maybe that vulnerability, seeing the struggle, the everyday stuff like the broken foot or the lunchbox, maybe that's actually what connects more with people now, more than maintaining that perfect, untouchable facade.
11:16Hmm. Is the glimpse behind the curtain more valuable than the perfect picture now?
11:20That's definitely something to think about.
11:22Something to mull over.
11:23Well, on that note, if you loved this deep dive and you want more inside scoops and breakdowns like this, make sure you subscribe to Stateside Gossip wherever you get your deep dives.
