Being some of the most in-demand supermodels of the decade, Bella and Gigi Hadid shine bright for an eye-catching comeback to the Victoria’s Secret catwalk, rejuvenating the fire of excitement among fans who have clamored for this iconic lingerie brand.The ladies mark a new era for Victoria’s Secret, amidst significant rebranding with new values that define modern times and diversity. Of course, the Hadid sisters made all others merely steal the show on the catwalk. They made guest appearances at the fashion festivities that were to mark both empowerment and fashion.
A Successful Revival
It was the Hadid sisters who entered the Victoria’s Secret catwalk first in the mid-2010s and grabbed all attention with their beauty and obvious victor status on the catwalk. Now, after a year’s gap in the brand’s annual fashion show due to public trouncing and loss of relevance during this period, there is revival in 2024 when the brand seems to reboot with a very different concept. They pleased the audience and proved to the world that the revitalized, directional personality of the brand really is in business embracing individuality, authenticity, and inclusivity with Bella and Gigi on board. Gigi, resplendent in a lightweight lace confection tied at her shoulders by winged feathers, opens one of the show’s doors, exuding a newfound air of self-composure. Hot on her heels was Bella in a sultry, jewellery-encrusted number that brought in magnetic energy onto the catwalk. Chemistry and grace spelt out their individual spell, casting magic on the audience and telling everyone why they stay atop the list of industry influencers.
New Chapter
Victoria’s Secret has drastically changed the story from the old “Angels” aesthetic towards a wider, more inclusive look of beauty. How this would probably affirm the fact that Bella and Gigi, who are sisters, would indeed be part of this renewed show further proves that the brand indeed changes its heart. Both Bella and Gigi have managed to promote self-love, mental health awareness, as well as body positivity on their respective platforms, perfectly reflecting Victoria’s secret new message about being empowered.
In interviews following the show, Gigi was too excited about this form of transformation by the brand as well, stating that it “feels amazing to be back in this new era where beauty means so much more than just physical appearance.” Bella, who has always been open about her health issues in the past, has stated, “Walking the runway again feels like a celebration of everything I have overcome.”
A Night to Remember
Beyond a runway event, the show was an ode to fashion, diversity, and tenacity. Like that was not enough with the Hadid sisters strutting down the catwalk; the different body types, ethnic makeup, and backgrounds of models were the embodiment of life, as if trying to breathe life into the message of the fashion brand concerning inclusivity. The audience and industry leaders saluted the return of Hadid while describing the night as “perfect nostalgia and progress.”.
Night 2: Victoria’s Secret Catwalk Revival, led by Bella and Gigi as top models, promises a future ‘brighter, bolder, and more inclusive’ for the brand and beyond.
