After a 5-year break, the Victoria’s Secret fashion show returns this year

The Victoria’s Secret lingerie show will return this year. The fashion event has been in decline since 2018 for having received criticism due to the lack of diversity and representation on the catwalks.

In this way, in order to regain their relevance, they will no longer bring the angels — who paraded in lingerie and used wings. The models were dismissed and replaced by models that could bring more diversity to the casting.

The brand will also feature the new documentary “Victoria’s Secret World Tour”, whose trailer was released yesterday, Tuesday (09). The documentary will be released in September.
