The highly anticipated Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned on Sunday, 18 October, delivering a spectacular evening of fashion, music and glamour. However, one of the biggest highlights was the return of the iconic Fantasy Bra, a legendary runway piece that fans had been waiting eight years to see again.
Held at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, the show brought together internationally recognised models, celebrity appearances and dazzling lingerie designs. Among the familiar faces on the runway were Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima and Ashley Graham, who helped make the event one of the biggest fashion spectacles of the year.
The Fantasy Bra Everyone Had Been Waiting For
The moment that captured worldwide attention was Kylie Jenner’s surprise runway debut in the famous Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Bra. The showpiece had not appeared on the runway since 2018, when model Elsa Hosk wore the previous design.
Created in collaboration with luxury jewellery house Jacob & Co., the 2026 Fantasy Bra is valued at approximately $50 million. The extraordinary design features 4,410 natural diamonds, including a remarkable 75.54-carat yellow diamond. It reportedly weighs around four pounds and took 15 craftspeople approximately 1,000 hours to complete.
Jenner walked the runway wearing the dazzling bra with a sheer white skirt and dramatic white feathered angel wings. Her appearance marked a major moment for the show, while her mother, Kris Jenner, and boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, watched proudly from the audience.
The Fantasy Bra has long been one of Victoria’s Secret’s most recognisable traditions, with previous designs worn by famous models including Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima. Its return brought a sense of nostalgia for longtime fans while introducing a new generation to the extravagant fashion statement.
Music And Glamour Complete The Night
Beyond the Fantasy Bra, the show featured performances by Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, KATSEYE and Megan Moroney. The combination of music, elaborate costumes and spectacular runway presentations added to the excitement of the evening.
The event also reflected Victoria’s Secret’s efforts to bring its traditional fashion spectacle into a new era while maintaining the glamour that made the show internationally famous.
With the return of the long-awaited Fantasy Bra and Kylie Jenner’s headline-making debut, the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show delivered a memorable night that placed fashion, celebrity culture and craftsmanship firmly in the spotlight.
