The Runway Return: Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Review

​BY: SOFIA SHAW, COLAFW MARKETING TEAM MEMBER

​The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back! After a hiatus, the iconic fashion show gave us all we needed and more: live entertainment, glamor and of course– FASHION! 

The show took a six-year hiatus after controversy surrounding the brand. However, Victoria’s Secret has realigned their brand and made their comeback this past Tuesday. Familiar faces on the runway included Gigi and Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima, and Barbara Palvin. The show also made sure to include women of all sizes, including model Ashley Graham. Not only that, veteran Angels—Kate Moss and Tyra Banks were spotted on the red carpet as well. Banks making her mark by closing the show.

Two major themes were recognized throughout which I like to call: angel and devil. One half of the looks consisted of beautiful pinks and reds and flowy pieces. The other half was darker, more grunge and bold. These two themes beautifully complemented each other.

And for my favorite part, I now present to you the top five looks of the night!

1. Imaan Hammam

​This baby pink set with the ruffle shawl graced the runway as the fourth look of the night. The hair, the face, the look– tens across the board!

2. Joan Smalls

​This fallen angel look was beautifully done with a black corset top and matching bottom. Simple yet seductive, beautiful and edgy all in one.

3. Awar Odhiang ​

​My jaw dropped when I saw this. The feathered cape has a beautiful shape along with the pink color. The model’s short hair complements such a statement piece on the body.

4. Alessandra Ambrioso

​This dark fantasy look is stunning. The cut-out in the lace outfit gives the look dimension along with the gold and black glitter wings. The glamorous makeup seals the deal with this fabulous look.

5. Vittoria Ceretti ​

​This is something completely different compared to the other looks of the night. The whimsical, ribbon shaped wings are so fun and make the simple red outfit pop. The monochromatic look appeals to the eye and stands out.
