The feathers were fake, and the lingerie as skimpy as ever. But both were on grand display on Tuesday night in New York, as the Victoria's Secret fashion show returned with much pomp after a six-year hiatus. The casting of 52 models - among them were stellar names including Kate Moss, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Tyra Banks and Carla Bruni - was an exercise in race, age, gender and body diversity. Plus-size models Ashley Graham and Paloma Elsesser and transgender stars Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani ensured that the event was far more inclusive than in previous years. So how old is too old to model in the fabled lingerie show that famously 'broke' the internet when it was first streamed live in 1999?

Two huge names for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show may have been leaked this Tuesday - just hours before the superstars hit the runway. The extravaganza will mount its grand return that night in New York City, after it was canceled in 2019 amid a blizzard of controversy that included allegations of misogyny and promoting an unhealthy body image. Supermodels galore have signed up to represent the lingerie brand's comeback show, with some names released and others kept under wraps.

Victoria's Secret Angels are getting ready to spread their wings after a six-year hiatus on the runway tonight. After being embroiled in fierce controversy, the fashion show is back with the a dazzling performance. In May, following a desperate attempt to transform the brand to include more body-positive messages, the lingerie brand announced that it would be bringing back their show-stopping Angels. Now, the show has finally returned with iconic models like Tyra Banks , Gigi Hadid and Paloma Elsesser - and viewers can watch the beauties strut their stuff from the comfort of their home. The fashion spectacle is set to premiere Tuesday, October 15 at 7pm ET on Prime Video.
