Victoria’s Secret is bringing back its beloved fashion show after a five-year hiatus (and much controversy).

Below are all the details on what to expect from this year’s VS Fashion Show, including which A-list models to expect on the runway, who’s performing and more.

Who is performing?

Cher will take the stage as the featured artist, with Tyla and K-pop star Lisa also on the bill.

This is the first time the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has had an all-female musical lineup; Past performers include Harry Styles, Halsey, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, The Weeknd and more.

Tyla told the brand ahead of the show: “I’m performing with my friend Lisa and the legend Cher!! Like what the hell??!! Just us girls! I know it’s going to be such a special night for us and one that ‘young Tyla’ would die for, so I’m really excited!”

Why the break?

In 2019, Victoria’s Secret announced it was reconsidering its annual network TV presentation, which has aired on CBS and ABC for nearly two decades in a row.

The company was plagued by declining viewership and widespread criticism over the lack of body and racial diversity on the catwalk. Former US CEO Les Wexner’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein also damaged the company’s image.

After a number of models spoke out against the company, Victoria’s Secret overhauled its leadership team and hired a number of new models in 2020. They have also called on entertainers and activists, including Priyanka Chopra and Megan Rapinoe, to help usher in the new era.

What’s new and different this time?

“We read the comments and heard you,” Victoria’s Secret wrote on Instagram while announcing this year’s show.

“The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is BACK and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love: the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment and more! Stay tuned… it only gets more iconic from here.”

And on its website, the brand promises an “inclusive” show, writing: “Victoria’s Secret is focused on celebrating and supporting all women, and that isn’t going to change any time soon.”

Stay tuned to see how the iconic show has evolved.
