2 days agoThe fantastical effort to put 'fashion' back in the Victoria's Secret fashion show
When the lights finally dimmed at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night, the first thing guests saw was a gold light emanating from backstage. Model Jasmine Tookes, 9 months pregnant, opened the show in a gold macrame dress with drop pearls and a pearl and crystal wing in the shape of a clam shell. Art buffs might notice that the shell is a callback to Sandro Boticelli's renaissance painting "Birth of Venus," symbolizing sensuality, divine beauty, rebirth, and new beginnings. The cultural reference is a more elevated and considered nod to womanhood than the show's previous themes which have included "Santa's Helpers" or "delicious sweets."
