Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2023

The much-awaited, much-anticipated annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place last night in Paris. As expected it was grand, majestic and much more. There are some fabulous looks, some stunning appearances, and everything that a fashion enthusiast would look forward to. A total of 52 Victoria’s angels graced the ramp, wearing and displaying a vibrant collection of designs. From sporty to romantic to sexy to sparky the looks were diverse and inspiring.

And not to forget the Victoria’s angel wings, this year Kendall Jenner wore her first pair of Angel wings.

Another awaited appearance was of the Hadid sisters. Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid were spotted wearing two looks for the show, an honor that is not bestowed on everyone.

Joan Smalls looked magical on the runway, with the elaborate outfit and smoky eyes.

Alanna Arrington was carrying a cool vibe in the runway with those natural curls and thick brows. We loved the dewy pink tint on her face.

Jourdana Phillips flaunted her platinum short curls on the ramp, but it was her glittery eyes that took the cake for us.

Maria Borges pepped up the runway with a free spirited look. Like last year, this year too she wore her natural hair. The smoky eyes and glossy lips did wonders for her. Interesting fact: Maria Borges is the first model to wear her natural hair on the Victoria’s Secret runway.

Taylor Hill was all bronze and black and looked perfect!

Another interesting aspect of the show was the diversity of models. In 2009, Liu Wen was the first Chinese model to walk the runway for Victoria’s Secret. This year, along with Liu Wen, there was an addition of three more Chinese models Xi Mengyao, Sui He and Ju Xiaowen. The effort of diversifying the models of the runway was very much evident.

Liu Wen was seen in a more ornamental look with minimal makeup and loose waves.

The diversity was not just in terms of skin but also hair. We loved Sui He’s dark voluminous wavy hair. They complimented her complexion and perfectly contoured face.

Ming Xi carries a more natural look with subtle winged eyes.

As for the performances, Lady Gaga was as usual the most flamboyant musical guest of the evening. She changed into multiple outfits during the show. Starting with a floor length lace Alaïa dress.

Next was a beautiful rose printed lace dress with long sleeves by YolanCris, a Barcelona-based couture label.

She followed that with Saint Laurent sequin jumpsuit in black and matching jacket.

During her performance, she chose to put on a white leather Schotto perfecto customized with feather wings that were activated at the end of the performance. And finally, she ended the night with another Alaïa creation, a burgundy crop top and floor-length skirt.
