The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 returned Sunday, Oct. 18, with veteran models, new faces and an all-women musical lineup. Held at Sony Studios in Culver City, California, the event marked the show’s first Los Angeles edition in 19 years.
The runway combined the brand’s familiar wings and lingerie with updated designs and a broader range of talent. Kylie Jenner delivered the night’s biggest surprise by making her Victoria’s Secret runway debut.
Kylie Jenner Debuts in Record-Setting Fantasy Bra
Jenner appeared in the show’s newly revived Fantasy Bra, which returned to the runway for the first time since 2018.
Victoria’s Secret created the piece with luxury jewelry company Jacob & Co. According to Vogue, the bra features 4,410 natural diamonds. A 75.54-carat yellow diamond sits at its center.
Fifteen craftspeople reportedly spent more than 1,000 hours building the design. Valued at $50 million, it became the most expensive Fantasy Bra in the brand’s history.
Jenner completed the look with white feathered wings, a sheer skirt and clear heels. Her appearance connected one of the show’s best-known traditions with a major contemporary pop culture figure.
