The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Is Heading Back to Los Angeles & Here’s What We Know About the 2026 Show

The wings are heading back to the West Coast.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will officially return on Sunday, October 18, with this year’s highly anticipated runway show taking over Los Angeles for the first time in nearly two decades.

After staging its last two shows in New York, Victoria’s Secret is going bigger for 2026, bringing its signature mix of fashion, entertainment, music and celebrity back to the City of Angels.

And some familiar faces are already confirmed.

Gigi Hadid, Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani and Abby Champion are among the models officially announced for this year’s runway, with additional names expected to be revealed as the countdown continues.

But Victoria’s Secret is also doing something different this year.

For the first time, fans will have opportunities to win their way inside the actual fashion show through the brand’s new Weekly Ticket Drop, with new opportunities being announced every Thursday.

The move is part of what Victoria’s Secret Chief Creative Officer Adam Selman is calling “Fandemonium,” an approach designed to bring the audience closer to one of fashion’s biggest annual spectacles.

The brand has also launched a nationwide search for its next Angel. The journey will be documented in the upcoming Angels Among Us docuseries, following aspiring models on their road to potentially securing an IMG Models contract and a coveted spot on the Victoria’s Secret runway.

And of course, it wouldn’t be the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show without music.

This year’s performers have yet to be announced, but expectations are already high. The show has a long history of bringing some of music’s biggest stars to the runway, with everyone from Rihanna and Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga appearing throughout its history.

Victoria’s Secret has spent the past few years reimagining what its iconic fashion show looks like for a new generation, introducing a more diverse group of models and expanding the spectacle beyond the traditional image once associated with the brand.

Now, with Los Angeles as the backdrop, major models returning, new faces preparing for their shot at becoming an Angel and a few surprises still under wraps, Victoria’s Secret appears ready to make its 2026 show one of its biggest yet.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs live October 18 at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET on YouTube, with additional viewing available across the brand’s social platforms.
