01 / Essential answer
When is Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026?
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Show 2026 runs October 2026 in New York, United States. Venues, cast and beauty teams vary by house.
02 / History
A mall-brand spectacle
Victoria’s Secret staged its first fashion show in 1995 at the Plaza Hotel in New York. Through the late 1990s and 2000s the production grew into an annual televised spectacle — supermodel "Angels," musical headliners and diamond-set Fantasy Bras — that functioned as much as a marketing broadcast as a runway show.
03 / History
Cancellation and return
The show was cancelled in 2019 following declining ratings and sustained criticism of the brand’s narrow casting, part of a wider reckoning that reshaped the company’s marketing. Victoria’s Secret revived the format in 2024 with a reimagined production staged in Brooklyn, reframed around a broader cast, and has staged the show annually since.
