The Best and Most Chaotic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Moments Ever

Adriana Lima said an emotional goodbye to the Victoria’s Secret runway in 2018. The Brazilian bombshell made her debut in 1999 and walked for the brand a total of 18 times.

Kendall Jenner headlined the 2018 holiday-themed edition.

Bella Hadid had an awkward run in with her recent ex-boyfriend, The Weeknd, during her 2016 debut.

A year prior, Jenner laced up in some VS lingerie for the first time. Jenner would become a focal point of the brand’s show until its hiatus, but her debut wasn’t without backlash. The model wore two outfits with wings—usually, the accessories are reserved only for contracted “Angels.”

Gigi Hadid made her debut the same year as Jenner. Her “wings” were subject to similar criticism.

For the first time in VS history, two models took to the runway in coordinating fantasy bras. Who better to do it than Brazilian icons Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio?

Taylor Swift looked right at home when she performed during the brand’s 2014 London show. She had fun paling around with the VS angels, which of course included her then bestie, Karlie Kloss.

The live nature of the fashion show created plenty of mishaps over the years. Ariana Grande couldn’t hide her surprise when model Elsa Hosk accidentally poked her during the 2014 runway show.

Rihanna’s 2012 performance proved to be one of the show’s most memorable throughout its history. Of course, the mogul would go on to stage her own runway show for her intimates brand, Savage x Fenty, just six years later.

Heidi Klum hung up her Angel wings in 2009 after walking nearly a dozen shows for the brand over the years.

Liu Wen made history that same year as the first East Asian model to grace the VS runway.

The just-reunited Spice Girls put on a campy performance for the crowd in 2007.

Due to the cancellation of the 2004 show, VS icons Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, and Gisele Bundchen embarked on the Angels Across America Tour instead.

Naomi Campbell’s signature runway walk during the brand’s 2003 show still lives on to this day.

The musical guests are often just as enticing as the actual lingerie. Case in point: Destiny’s Child 2002 performance.

An unbothered Gisele Bündchen dodging PETA protestors on the 2002 runway is one of the more meme-d moments in VS history. The runway rushers were reportedly arrested after the show.

Bündchen had the honor of modeling the most expensive fantasy bra during the 2000 runway show and later during a presentation at the brand’s New York flagship. The piece was valued at $15 million at the time.

Tyra Banks made history in 1998 when she donned the first pair of “Angel Wings” on the runway.

Two years prior, Claudia Schiffer modeled the first fantasy bra, then known as the “million-dollar miracle bra.”

The first few editions of the show were rather tame. From the first show in 1995 until 1998, the presentations were held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
