Victoria’s Secret has dropped its first major lineup reveal for the highly anticipated 2025 Fashion Show. Six names have been confirmed to walk the runway this year, featuring a mix of legacy icons and modern game-changers.
The first six models revealed are Adriana Lima, Alex Consani, Anok Yai, Joan Smalls, Lily Aldridge, and Yumi Nu.
Among them, Adriana Lima, a veteran who first walked for Victoria’s Secret in 1999 and was a mainstay for nearly two decades, returns once more.
Lily Aldridge, long associated with the brand in its earlier glory years, also makes a comeback. Alex Consani, who in 2024 became one of the show’s most buzzed-about faces (and one of its first trans models in recent years to walk with angel wings), represents the newer generation.
Anok Yai, Joan Smalls, and Yumi Nu bring their own legacies—Yai and Smalls as high-fashion stalwarts with previous runway and Victoria’s Secret experience; Nu marking her first time as an Angel despite prior casting attention.
On the day of the announcement, Yumi Nu said in a Q&A via Victoria’s Secret’s VS Insider, “Walking this show means being part of the next chapter of what this brand can be.”
Joan Smalls added, “It’s exciting to bring energy and legacy together, especially when people are looking for models that reflect more than just one ideal.”
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, resumed in 2024 after a five-year hiatus, has gone through rebranding to emphasize inclusion, greater diversity in body types and backgrounds, and a shift away from its earlier criticisms.
The fashion show is taking place on October 15 in New York City. Fans can expect its usual retinue of dazzling stage production, gorgeous models, and star-studded musical performances.
