What will be different about the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show?
“We’ve read the comments and we hear you,” read a post shared on the company’s official Instagram account last May. “The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back and will reflect who we are today and everything you know and love – glamour, runway, wings, music entertainment and more. Stay tuned… it only gets more iconic from here.”
The last Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in 2018 and featured Victoria’s Secret Angels and musical performances by Shawn Mendes, Rita Ora, The Chainsmokers, Bebe Rexha, Halsey, Leela James, Kelsea Ballerini, and The Struts. The 2019 show was canceled as the company “grapples with accusations of workplace toxicity amid the burgeoning #MeToo movement,” WWD previously reported.
Victoria’s Secret returns to the small screen with “The Victoria’s Secret World Tour,” available on Amazon Prime’s streaming platform in 2023. Raúl Martinez, Victoria’s Secret’s executive vice president and chief creative officer, told WWD that the film is “the ultimate expression of the Victoria’s Secret brand transformation.”
In a joint interview in July, Chief Design and Creative Officer Janie Schaffer and Vice President of Marketing Sarah Sylvester discussed their plans for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show to return in 2024.
“We’ve come a long way as a company in the last three years and really transformed. We’re very happy and very confident about where we are as a brand,” Schaffer said. “This is really a celebration of everything we’ve done. Believe me, we have super fans there, there’s an element of people saying, ‘Bring it back exactly the way it was. Bring back the exact same models and don’t change anything!’” he added.
Schaffer joined the Victoria’s Secret team in 2008, left in 2012, and returned to the company in 2020.
