Gigi has been strongly associated with Victoria’s Secret runway since her debut in 2015. Her 2026 appearance continued that association, giving fans the chance to see her balance expressive styles with the brand's iconic angel look once more.

Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel Returned

Barbara Palvin Returned Six Weeks After Giving Birth 

Barbara Palvin was among the evening’s most talked-about models, returning to Victoria’s Secret runway approximately six weeks after welcoming her first child with husband Dylan Sprouse.

The Hungarian supermodel wore a romantic, sheer pink negligee decorated with script writing. She completed the look with loose, voluminous hair and rosy makeup, creating a softer aesthetic than the show’s more elaborate winged ensemble.

Palvin’s return attracted attention not only because of the outfit but also because of the timing. Speaking to PEOPLE backstage, she discussed returning to work and described feeling strong and supported by the brand.

Her appearance became a part of the evening's most memorable personal stories, which described an important change along with her continued success as a model.

Elsa Hosk Made a Comeback After Eight Years

Elsa Hosk walked the Victoria's Secret runway for the first time in eight years. The Swedish model has a unique relationship with the brand, having worn the Fantasy Bra in 2018.

Her return was a nostalgic moment for fans who remember earlier editions of the show. It also connected the 2026 event with one of Victoria's Secret's most recognizable traditions: turning lingerie into a high-jewelry runway statement.

Solange Omon Became the Newest Victoria's Secret Angel 

One of the most significant new-talent moments came with the introduction of Solange Omon as Victoria's Secret's newest Angel.

The 21-year-old model won a nationwide casting search featured in the brand's Angels Among Us Docuseries. Originally from Cameroon and living in Maine, Omon advanced through the casting and training process before being selected.

Her story provided a different angle to the return of established supermodels, highlighting the discovery of fresh talent and the opportunities for emerging models.

Kylie Jenner Wore the $50 Million Fantasy Bra 

One of the most surprising elements of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026 was Kylie Jenner's runway debut in the brand's iconic Fantasy Bra.

Designed by Jacob Arabo of JACOB & CO. in collaboration with Victoria's Secret, the piece was valued at $50 million. It featured 4,410 natural diamonds surrounding a 75.54-carat radiant-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamond.

According to Vogue, fifteen craftspeople spent more than 1,000 hours creating the design. The finished piece weighed just under four pounds, making it an elaborate example of the collaboration between lingerie design and high jewelry.

Jenner paired the jeweled bra with a gauzy white miniskirt, clear heels, and expensive white feathered wings. Her appearance marked the Fantasy Bra’s return to the runway for the first time since 2018, when Elsa Hosk wore the Atelier Swarovski Fantasy Bra.

The moment combined the show’s heritage with Jenner's contemporary celebrity influence, making it one of the evening's biggest talking points.
