Unfiltered thoughts on the Victoria's Secret fashion show
Uncooked, rapid-fire thoughts.
Edited for clarity, and because the typos were simply insane. From the notes app to the substack — always a bad idea.
It’s easy to get lost in the glamour and the beloved models and celebrities we see walk and attend fashion shows. Avoiding opinions and gut feelings with the thought of maybe one day being invited, or invited back. Getting off at the first stop of the hate train after enjoying the years-long express ride because some good things might be taking place at the station. Can’t say I’m not guilty of that… but at the same time, aren’t we all?
I jotted down opinions I had during the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Unfiltered thoughts, you’re welcome:
It will never be as big as before, and maybe that's a good thing. We got some good moments, though!
Paloma is a highlight in every single show she walks. She's glamour incarnate!
Cher performing in The Attico was a BIG moment for me, personally.
Vittoria Ceretti, make her a forever angel. She deserves it.
Barbara Palvin's legacy is one of the best things to ever come out of the VS fashion show.
Production MESSED up with Jasmine Tooks, she's a VS darling and giving her walk no airtime was such an insult. I was in shock after realizing I had only seen her face and didn’t immediate have photographic memory of what she wore. Hoping she gets the biggest apology. If I was her I wouldn’t walk the show again. On to better things!
Would've really loved to see more close ups, more time on each model which I know would make the show last forever but isnt that what we're here for?
Very few memorable moments for the clothes. Anok Yai, both of Paloma Elsesser’s looks, Kate Moss walking to “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”, Bella Hadid’s wings, Adriana Lima.
I miss the crowd. I know there were some incredible people in the crowd and I would've loved to see that.
The stage felt flat, it should’ve been elevated. Not Super Bowl LVII high, but definitely elevated to some extent. Please just bring the crowd closer for a text time.
The guest seats felt like football stands. Can’t explain it.
Let me see Dylan Sprouse's face when Barbara walks!!! I know he was beaming!!
Seeing the OGs did make me tear up.
Barbara motherfucking Palvin.
Cutest wings were Alex Consani’s!
So many new faces, so little airtime.
The performances were great. Cher, I love you.
Kinda wanted more pep in the walks… more smiles, more crowd interaction.
Everyone seemed to hate the hair online? I loved the hair! And the different hairstyles.
Those wings look heavy as fuck. The shoes look like they’d hurt me for looking at them, but I’m only ever wearing a block heel.
I hope Devyn García is always booked and busy.
Anok Yai’s look was the best of the night.
Alex Consani is everywhere. And good for her!
Are we here for the lingerie? Are we sure?
