Rocking the iconic angel wings, Gigi Hadid opened the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion show as it made its triumphant return on Tuesday night.
Airing live on Amazon’s Prime Video, the iconic runway show was held at the Victoria’s Secret flagship store in New York City after a six-year hiatus.
The 2024 show also saw the return of Victoria’s Secret vets Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima as well as next generation icons Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin.
Cher served as the night’s headlining performer along with Blackpink alum Lisa and rising star Tyla — marking the show’s first-ever, all-woman musical lineup.
Legendary supermodel Tyra Banks closed out the show while Gigi’s younger sister Bella Hadid — who fans hailed as the ‘queen’ of the Victoria’s Secret runway — made a surprise cameo in head-to-toe red lingerie.
The show’s highly-anticipated revival comes three years after the lingerie brand’s controversial ‘woke’ body-positive rebrand in 2021.
Victoria’s Secret’s iconic Angels were replaced by ‘ambᴀssadors’ like soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the company axed its longtime CEO in wake of falling sales and a bombshell expose that accused the company of misogyny, Sєxual harᴀssment and bullying.
Lisa kicked off the show with an ultra Sєxy performance of her hit Rockstar, which saw her ride into the venue on a motorcycle as models got hyped up backstage.
Surrounded by leather-clad dancers, the singer, 27, flashed her toned tummy in a black vinyl bra shaped like angel wings.
It was styled with a chainmail shrug and micro shorts.
Lisa delivered elaborate choreography under pink stage lights on the mᴀssive catwalk.
Gigi opened the legendary show — which first aired in 1995 — wearing pastel pink wings and a silky pink costume.
Her short blonde hair was tucked behind her ears, allowing her to show off her sparkly hoop earrings.
The model, 29, strutted her stuff to a fun mash-up of Chappell Roan’s hits Femininomenon and Charli XCX’s viral single 360.
Later, Gigi bared it all in a see-through red lace bodysuit and a red ruffled boa that rested in the crook of her arms as she made her way down the catwalk.
The mother-of-one styled her racy outfit with pink heels that featured glittery ʙuттerfly wings on the ankles.
Coming out of a six-year retirement, Adriana Lima, 43, made her highly-anticipated runway return on Tuesday.
