The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is officially returning for 2026. Following a two-year stint in New York, the lingerie giant is packing up its signature wings and heading to the West Coast.
As preparations begin for the highly anticipated runway event, the brand is slowly releasing details about who will walk and where the action will unfold.
Fast Facts on the 2026 Event
- Return Confirmed: The fashion show is officially scheduled for late 2026.
- New Location: The runway is relocating from Brooklyn to Los Angeles.
- First Angel Announced: Veteran model Gigi Hadid returns to the lineup.
The Runway Heads to Los Angeles
After grounding its last two events in New York City, Victoria’s Secret is shifting operations to California. Brand executives confirmed the move to Los Angeles on July 16.
In an official Instagram announcement, the company stated it was taking the show to “the birthplace of glamour, stardom, and icons.” Moving the event to the “City of Angels” aligns neatly with the brand’s iconic Angel-themed marketing.
Gigi Hadid Joins the 2026 Lineup
Gigi Hadid is the first major name confirmed for the upcoming runway. Victoria’s Secret announced her participation in tandem with the location reveal.
In a promotional video shared on Instagram, Hadid leaned out of a car window, telling fans, “Get in, Angels, we’re going to L.A.!” before blowing a kiss to the camera.
Expected Dates and Streaming Details
An exact broadcast date remains unconfirmed by the brand. However, both the 2024 and 2025 fashion shows took place in mid-October, making a fall 2026 timeline highly probable.
Viewing details are also pending. Historically, the brand has sidestepped traditional television networks in favor of broadcasting the show in real-time across its various social media channels.
Performers and Exclusive Access
Live musical performances remain a staple of the runway experience. While the 2026 artists have not yet been revealed, the brand routinely spotlights prominent female musicians, with past stages featuring legends like Cher and Missy Elliott.
Securing a seat at the venue requires more than just buying a ticket. The event maintains a strict invite-only policy, reserving access exclusively for celebrities, industry insiders, and fashion influencers.
For everyone else, live digital updates and official social media streams will provide a front-row view of both the runway and the pink carpet.
