What to know about the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026: Models, how to watch, more

Angels, assemble!

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back for 2026 — and this time, the runway spectacular is moving to Los Angeles.

Airing live on YouTube, the catwalk will feature A-list models as well as incredible music performances. Below, everything you need to know about the lingerie show.

When is the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026?

The pink carpet will kick off at 7 p.m. ET on Oct. 18, and the show will start streaming at 7:30. Afterward, the brand’s after-party starts on TikTok Live at 8:45.

How can I watch?

For the first time, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will air live on the brand’s YouTube channel.

If you’re committed to the experience, the show will also be playing in select AMC theaters in several states, with special merch and exclusive experiences.

What models will be walking?

This year’s runway will feature Victoria’s Secret regulars and newcomers alike.

The brand has announced that longtime stars Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel will be returning.

Just days before the event, it was also announced that Barbara Palvin will grace the runway just six weeks after giving birth, and Alessandra Ambrosio will celebrate her 20th catwalk for the brand.

Familiar faces like Amelia Gray Hamlin, Anok Yai, Ashley Graham, Abby Champion, Paloma Elsesser and Alex Consani will return as well.

Of course, there’s always room for surprises — and we’d expect that VS has more celebs on the roster that they’re keeping close to the (lace-covered) chest.

Will someone wear the Fantasy Bra?

For the first time since 2018, Victoria’s Secret is bringing back the Fantasy Bra. This year’s blinged-out brassiere was crafted by Jacob Arabo, the famed jeweler behind Jacob & Co. He told VS creative director Adam Selman that he “wanted to create the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever made,” and even designed a special “Angel-cut” diamond for the look.

As for who will be chosen to don the multimillion-dollar underwear? That will be revealed in the moment. Past honorees include Elsa Hosk (who wore the 2018 Fantasy Bra) as well as iconic supermodels like Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bündchen and more.

Who will perform?

On top of famous models, the runway show always includes stellar entertainment.

This year, there will be four performances from Katseye, Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae.
