Walking a fashion runway requires poise, confidence, and a killer instinct. But owning the runway? The models who walked the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 15 know a thing or two about that. Sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, Alex Consani, Barbara Palvin, Jasmine Tookes, Angel Reese, Barbie Ferreira, Suni Lee, Candice Swanepoel, Emily Ratajkowski, and many more joined the ranks of models and trendsetters who’ve donned angel wings and strutted the runway since the first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 1995: Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Karlie Kloss … the iconic list goes on.
The brand’s once-annual runway show returned for the second year in a row after its initial end in 2019, and the convergence of some of the biggest names in fashion reminded us of another incredibly stylish group of folks who came together to celebrate the next big names in the industry. You’ll see some familiar faces in the series below, including its co-host, the perfectly poised Gigi Hadid.
Next in Fashion
Co-hosted by Queer Eye fashion expert Tan France and model Gigi Hadid, Next in Fashion brings designers from around the world together to compete in a series of challenges for the chance to win $250,000 and debut a collection on Net-a-Porter. Gigi took over hosting duties from France’s previous co-host, designer and model Alexa Chung, in the second season, in which she brought her runway experience to the forefront. Each episode features luxe designs from some of the world’s most imaginative up-and-comers, with each competitor creating lewks in line with the week’s theme, from “military” to “swimwear.”
And as if that weren’t enough, every episode features a new, top-tier guest judge, including models Bella Hadid (Gigi’s sister), Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Helena Christensen, as well as superstar designers including Donatella Versace and Tommy Hilfiger.
