The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is set for Sunday, October 18, at 7:30 p.m. ET. It will stream free from the brand’s official YouTube channel, live from an undisclosed Los Angeles location. Returning runway names include Elsa Hosk, Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, Ashley Graham, Alex Consani, and Anok Yai, among others.
Hosk returns after an eight-year absence since wearing the 2018 Dream Angels Fantasy Bra. Romee Strijd said she was not cast; commenters also noted Frida Aasen, Taylor Hill, and Lais Ribeiro were missing from casting announcements. The YouTube competition Angels Among Us will reveal its winner during the show.
The free YouTube stream may broaden access, potentially reaching viewers who cannot attend the Los Angeles event. Casting choices could shape conversations about visibility in fashion, affecting models, fans, and brands. The Angels Among Us reveal may offer aspiring models a public pathway, while former Angels’ absences could disappoint longtime followers and prompt speculation about the show’s direction.
