Victoria's Secret Brings Its Fashion Show Back to Los Angeles, Streamed Free on YouTube

Victoria's Secret held its Fashion Show in Los Angeles on Sunday, 18 October 2026, the first time in 19 years the event has been staged in the city, according to W Magazine. Reuters, in a report carried by FashionNetwork, said New York has long been the show's home, which makes a Los Angeles edition relatively rare.

The show combined returning models, a new Angel, four live musical acts and a $50 million Fantasy Bra. YouTube's own pre-show announcement said it would stream live and free on the brand's YouTube channel.

What the Los Angeles Move Means for Style and Entertainment

YouTube's announcement gives the location as Los Angeles, CA.

Reuters and the Tribune both reported Timothée Chalamet among the guests, watching from the audience alongside Kris Jenner. W Magazine placed them in the front row. W Magazine said Nicole Kidman and Tinashe joined him in applauding at the finale.

The casting reached beyond modelling as well. W Magazine reported that Quen Blackwell and Trinity Rodman walked in the Pink segment, and the Tribune described Rodman, a US soccer player, as one of the show's celebrity runway debuts.

Models, Performers and the Fantasy Bra

Bella Hadid opened the show, according to both W Magazine and the Tribune. Adriana Lima closed it in a white beaded look with silver-white wings, the Tribune reported.

W Magazine named models in the show: Gigi Hadid, Elsa Hosk, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Lima and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, whose first Victoria's Secret appearance in 16 years it noted. Alex Consani and Liu Wen also walked.

Solange Omon, winner of the "Angels Among Us" competition, was introduced as the newest Angel, the Tribune reported. Gisele Bündchen appeared in videos and said, "You are going to be seeing more of me real soon," the Tribune reported.

Megan Thee Stallion, KATSEYE, Megan Moroney and Tate McRae performed. Reuters said KATSEYE sang "Pinky Up" during the Pink segment. W Magazine reported that McRae debuted her single "Housewife" in red lingerie.

Kylie Jenner made her show debut in the Fantasy Bra, which Reuters and the Tribune value at $50 million. The Tribune said it was made with jeweller Jacob & Co. and contains 4,410 stones. W Magazine said the piece returned after eight years. Reuters said Hosk first modelled it in 2018.

How the Show Was Built

Executive creative director Adam Selman told Reuters on the pink carpet that he designed the four seasons and added a second winter. The order was spring, summer, autumn, winter one and winter two, with Pink in the middle.

W Magazine described a vintage section of reissued slip dresses and a Pink halftime segment. It quoted Selman as saying, "This is not a heritage show."

Looks included flower-petal, snowflake and metallic designs, Reuters reported.

Streaming and the Creator Push

The show was scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. Pacific and to stream live and free on the official Victoria's Secret YouTube channel, YouTube said.

The "Angels Among Us" docuseries was set to start ahead of the show, with the winner revealed live on the runway. YouTube said the seven episodes follow hopefuls from regional castings to the top three, with new episodes on Sundays and Thursdays from 27 September and a final episode listed for 22 November.

Some show videos may carry product tags that link to Victoria's Secret items. YouTube said creators get shopping hours the day after the live show and are eligible to earn commissions once they tag products. A "VS Angel Wings Effect" on Shorts lets viewers add wings to their own videos.

What Happens Next

The creator shopping window runs the day after the show, and the docuseries episodes continue on YouTube through the listed 22 November finale.
