The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned Sunday with a star-studded spectacle. Held in Los Angeles for the first time since 2007, the annual runway show brought together Victoria’s Secret veterans, including Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, alongside newcomers Kylie Jenner, Amelia Gray Hamlin and Natalia Bryant.
There was no shortage of talking points. Bella Hadid opened the show, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley returned after 16 years, Jenner wore the Fantasy Bra and Barbara Palvin returned after welcoming her first child six weeks earlier.
Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, Katseye and Megan Moroney were among the performers and Nicole Kidman, Lisa Rinna, Timothée Chalamet and Dylan Sprouse were among the A-listers watching in the front row.
From a surprise Gisele Bündchen cameo to Kidman’s viral reactions, here are five moments everyone’s talking about.
Kylie Jenner’s $50M bra

The diamond-covered design, usually worn by a Victoria’s Secret veteran, hasn’t appeared on the runway since 2018 and is thought to be the most expensive design to ever be worn at the show.
Created in collaboration with jewelers Jacob & Co., it features 4,410 natural diamonds with a single 75-carat yellow diamond in the center.
Jenner didn’t celebrate her debut alone: While her sister Kendall Jenner, a previous Victoria’s Secret Angel, was absent, Kris Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were on the front row.
Gisele Bündchen’s cameo
A day after being spotted on crutches, Bündchen made a surprise appearance at the show in a prerecorded video message that played before Bella Hadid opened the show. Wearing pink lace lingerie and a branded robe, she asked viewers, “Are you ready for the show?”
In a second video message aired at the end of the show, Bündchen also hinted that her renewed relationship with the brand may extend beyond the cameo. “Wasn’t that amazing?” she asked viewers, before adding, “You are going to be seeing more of me real soon. Ciao!”
Barbara Palvin’s postpartum return

The new mom walked in a pink lingerie dress while Megan Moroney sang and said backstage that life now is “a ride, like a fun one, but also scary. It’s a roller coaster.”
Sprouse, watching from the front row, praised his wife on his Instagram story before the event, writing, “Proud of my missus, jumping right into the vs fashion show post birth. Built different. I don’t know where you find the energy but damn!”
Natalia Bryant’s debut

Wearing a look from the brand’s sub-label, Pink, including a hot-pink shrug, bejeweled jeans and a black bra bearing the brand’s name, the model walked the catwalk as Katseye performed.
While the event marked Bryant’s first Victoria’s Secret runway appearance, she was already familiar with the brand having starred in a campaign in fall 2024. She’s also walked for a number of prestigious fashion houses in recent years, including for Versace and Boss.
Nicole Kidman’s front-row fun
Kidman might have skipped the brand’s famous pink carpet, but still managed to steal the spotlight on the front row. Wearing a pink striped tie, white shirt and black pencil skirt, the actor was seated beside Vanessa Bryant and quickly became a talking point as the live show streamed.
She was filmed dancing to Megan Thee Stallion and reacting to Tate McRae’s dancers but perhaps her most talked-about moment came when models walked to Adéla’s song “Nicole Kidman.”
The actor was spotted burying her head in her hands and smiling as the track played — but she was already familiar with it. At the London premiere of Practical Magic 2, Kidman revealed plans to see Adéla’s Nashville show on Sept. 21. She also joined Dua Lipa, Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig in a video set to the track at Chanel’s Paris Fashion Week show last month.
