Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 was as exceptional as ever, and the models who took part in it inevitably left no stone unturned in giving some of the most unforgettable performances of their lives. The likes of the Hadid sisters, Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid, as well as numerous other major models, made sure to become the talk of the town with their iconic looks.
This newest night of runway glamour, high-profile models, and coveted angel wings, after the fashion show returned from its six-year hiatus last year, took place in New York City, at the brand’s flagship store on 640 Fifth Avenue. It included performances from an all-female lineup, and the fleet included both old, renowned fan-favorites returning as well as new Angels.
That said, here’s a look at some of the best Angels from the runway, who had some of the most iconic rampwalks this year and made sure to become the talk of the town. This includes Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani, Jasmine Tookes, Alessandra Ambrosio, and the Hadid sisters. Without further ado, let’s dig right into their unparalleled looks and rampwalk performances!
6. Paloma Elsesser
Having first earned her wings in 2024, Paloma Elsesser returned to the runway this year as well, making it her second time to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway. Giving the vibes of a faux blushing bride, she was clad in a white lace teddy, with pink floor-length wings accompanying her. Not to mention, the catwalk that certainly didn’t disappoint!
