TWICE Makes K-Pop History on the Victoria's Secret Runway
In one of the night's most electrifying moments, TWICE became the first K-pop girl group to perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Four members—Nayeon, Jihyo, Tzuyu, and Momo—took the stage to introduce the "Class of Pink 2025" segment with high-energy performances of their hits "This Is For" and "Strategy".
The quartet coordinated in baby pink knee-high fur boots, micro miniskirts, and rhinestone-embellished PINK branding, backed by dancers in matching PINK sweatpants and cropped tanks. Their performance coincided with models like Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, Iris Law, and Barbie Ferreira showcasing Victoria's Secret's youthful PINK collection.
"We are used to doing performances with nine members, but this time we are able to do only four of us, so I hope you guys enjoy this new performance," Jihyo shared through a translator on the pink carpet. The appearance commemorated TWICE's 10th anniversary as a group and came amid their "This Is For" world tour, which continues through 2026 across North America and Europe.
Since debuting in 2015, TWICE has generated over 20 million album sales across South Korea and Japan and broken multiple Billboard records, including becoming the first K-pop girl group to win Billboard's Breakthrough Artist award.
Jasmine Tookes Opens Show Nine Months Pregnant in Golden Glory
In a moment destined for the history books, Jasmine Tookes opened the 2025 show while nine months pregnant, radiating confidence as she proudly displayed her baby bump. The 34-year-old supermodel stunned in a metallic gold netted one-piece with a fishnet lattice design adorned with teardrop-shaped gems, paired with a spectacular Botticelli-esque clamshell cage that replaced traditional wings.
Tookes paused mid-runway to lovingly cradle her stomach—a heartwarming gesture that captivated both the live audience and viewers at home. She immediately celebrated the milestone on social media, posting "Omg what just happened" on Instagram and "Can't believe I just opened the show 9 months pregnant 🥹" on TikTok.
The model is expecting her second child—a baby boy—with husband Juan David Borrero, who she married in September 2021. They're already parents to daughter Mia Victoria, born in February 2023. Tookes, who made her Victoria's Secret debut back in 2012, achieved her radiant glow with help from her own Brunel Golden Hour Glow Body Oil, applied by legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath.
While pregnant models have walked the Victoria's Secret runway before—notably Irina Shayk in 2016—Tookes' nine-month bump reveal while opening the show marks an unprecedented celebration of motherhood on the iconic catwalk.
Iconic Supermodels Return to the Runway
The 2025 show assembled a powerhouse lineup of both legendary Angels and fresh faces, creating a multi-generational celebration of beauty and confidence.

Historic Firsts: Athletes Earn Their Wings
In a groundbreaking move for the brand, Angel Reese became the first professional athlete to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The 23-year-old Chicago Sky WNBA star walked in two dreamy pink lingerie sets, including a sultry cutout T-shirt with pink lace and clear wings, followed by a flower-adorned pink look with matching wrap.
Reese had manifested this moment, posting to her Instagram Story a year prior that she would become a Victoria's Secret model. "Stepping into a dream: From Angel to a Victoria Secret ANGEL. I'm finally getting my wings," she wrote when announcing her participation. True to her word, she attended the 2024 show as a guest before fulfilling her runway destiny in 2025.
Olympic gold medalist gymnast Suni Lee joined Reese as the second professional athlete to walk the show, making her debut during TWICE's PINK segment. "It's a dream come true," Lee shared on her Instagram Story.
All-Female Powerhouse Performances
The musical lineup delivered pure star power with an all-female roster for the second consecutive year:

Madison Beer - The pop singer delivered a captivating performance
TWICE - The K-pop phenomenon making history as the first Korean girl group to grace the VS stage
Previous Victoria's Secret performers have included Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Cher, Rihanna, Harry Styles, and The Weeknd.
Diversity Takes Center Stage
The 2025 show represented the most diverse Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in the brand's 30-year history. After facing harsh criticism in 2019 for lack of inclusivity and body positivity—which contributed to the show's cancellation—Victoria's Secret returned with a radically reimagined vision.
Alex Consani, the transgender model who made history in 2024 as the first trans woman to walk the VS runway (alongside Valentina Sampaio), returned for 2025 after winning the prestigious Model of the Year award. At just 22, Consani has become a powerful voice for authentic trans representation in fashion.
Body positivity champion Ashley Graham walked in her second VS show, appearing in a sultry black lace lingerie set with massive black feathered angel wings. Graham, known for championing body diversity in fashion, helps usher in Victoria's Secret's new era of inclusivity.
The runway also featured newcomers Precious Lee, Yumi Nu, Barbie Ferreira (who expressed shock at being chosen for "the biggest show"), and pregnant Brazilian influencer Rafa Kalimann in a shimmering pink-lined black dress.
"Say what you want but this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was d--- good... The old glamour is back with a modern twist. The girls, and ouuuu the diversity was definitely in the room with us," one viewer wrote on social media. Another added, "I love how the Victoria's Secret fashion show has finally embraced diversity and all body types".

Victoria's Secret's Comeback Journey
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show launched in 1995 at the Plaza Hotel as an intimate lingerie presentation. It evolved into a globally televised spectacle (beginning in 2001) featuring extravagant wings, the legendary Fantasy Bra, and jet-set locations from New York to Paris, London, Shanghai, and Miami.
After cancellation in 2019 amid plummeting viewership and backlash over body image standards and lack of diversity, the brand underwent a complete rebrand. The 2024 comeback show signaled a new direction, followed by 2025's even more inclusive and culturally diverse production.
Victoria's Secret executive creative director Adam Selman emphasized the show's cultural significance: "It was once dubbed the biggest fashion show in the world, and I think it still is. But it's something that transcends fashion in a whole different cultural way".
The Verdict: A Spectacle Reborn
The 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show successfully balanced its glamorous DNA with modern values of inclusivity, representation, and empowerment. From TWICE's historic K-pop debut to Jasmine Tookes' pregnant opening to Angel Reese earning her athletic wings, the show proved that evolution and spectacle can coexist beautifully.
With approximately 40-60 minutes of non-stop runway action, all-female musical powerhouses, and a lineup spanning legendary Angels to groundbreaking newcomers, Victoria's Secret delivered exactly what fans craved—wings, glamour, entertainment, and a whole lot of heart.
The angels have officially landed. And they look better—and more diverse—than ever.
