Stumble into Cher backstage: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returns with glamorous chaos and stars!

Lost looking for the bathroom but ended up finding Cher instead? That's the kind of surreal experience you'd only expect at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show! Picture this: Cher, flanked by her entourage and the ever-entertaining Tyga, breezing past as if saying, “Move it, I’ve got a photo to nail!” Meanwhile, Candice Swanepoel nonchalantly directs a mere mortal like you to the nearest porta potty. Minutes later? She's dazzling the catwalk in starry lingerie with whimsical wings, joined by none other than Cher herself!

The Victoria’s Secret comeback we’ve all been waiting for was nothing if not mind-bending. Set against the industrial backdrop of Brooklyn Navy Yard, it included Cardi B cruising on a golf cart and minor celebs battling for the spotlight. An innocent mistake in seating arrangements saw reality stars bested by legitimate TV queens, but what else would you expect in this extravagant sea of glamour?

This show, Victoria’s first since 2018, was a pivot—a chance for redemption powered by a fresh female-led executive team. The brand, caught in controversy and sales slump post-2018, aimed to push past its dated reputation with a bold presentation.

Enter the runway line-up: the iconic Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser, and Devyn Garcia flaunting their curves beside trans superstars Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio. And who could forget legends like Carla Bruni and Eva Herzigova proving that age is nothing but a number as they graced the stage, natural textures, freckles, and all.

Chaos met neutrality in the bombshell wardrobe. Think: Gigi Hadid owning a pink ensemble complete with fabulous wings and playful taunts, while Kate Moss rocked a robe fit for rock royalty—yes, even at $180!

Rebels on the runway included Rianne Van Rompaey in daring chainmail, all while throwing in comfy chic with pajama bottoms and bow-print silk numbers. But Queen Tyra Banks reigned supreme, making waves in a spangled superhero ensemble, crowned with pink confetti and nostalgia.

You just had to be there to fully absorb the eccentric blend of fashion, nostalgia, and celebrity chaos. But if you weren’t—don’t worry. The internet’s got your back. Victoria’s Secret's bravery in 2024 was a bold move to capture audiences old and new, selling not just clothes, but a vision of beauty that's hard to pin down, yet impossible to ignore.

So buckle up, folks, because you never know what wild ride Victoria’s Secret has next in store. Will you love it? Hate it? Either way, you’ll be watching.
