The Angels are back on the runway!
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned to New York City on Oct. 15, taking over the Brooklyn Navy Yard with lots of feather, glitter and wings.
Icon Tyra Banks returned to the Victoria's Secret runway for the first time in almost 20 years, joined by Adriana Lima, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Paloma Elsesser, Imaan Hammam, Candice Swanepoel, Grace Elizabeth, Taylor Hill, Mayowa Nicholas, Devyn Garcia, Barbara Palvin, Behati Prinsloo, Ashley Graham, Jasmine Tookes and more.
Ahead of the show, Lima, 43, told PEOPLE that she was "nervous" to return to the Victoria's Secret runway, but overall the experience "feels awesome."
"This is where everything started for me," she said. "My first show was in 1999 in New York City. My last show in 2018 was also in New York City and I'm back again in New York. It's incredible. And I seriously did not think that I would be back."
Everything to Know About the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show — Including How to Watch and Who's Modeling
Victoria's Secret's emphasis on inclusion started in 2019 when the brand faced pushback on a lack of diversity, which led to the fashion show being canceled and a full corporate rebranding with new management at the top.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE at the time, a rep for Victoria’s Secret echoed this promise of the show reflecting who the brand is today.
“The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will deliver precisely what our customers have been asking for — the glamour, runway, fashion, fun, wings, entertainment — all through a powerful, modern lens reflecting who we are today,” the statement read. “We're thrilled to share a women-led articulation of this iconic property later this year!”
Below all the can't-miss moments from the show's 2024 revival, from backstage and the pink carpet to the runway and the party after!
