“Angelic Ascension: Gigi Hadid Soars in Victoria’s Secret 2024 Spectacle”
In the glittering realm of haute couture and high fashion, a phoenix has risen from the ashes of nostalgia, spreading its wings across the New York City skyline. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, that paragon of glamour and sensuality, made its triumphant return on October 15, 2024, and with it came the resurgence of a true fashion icon – Gigi Hadid.
The 29-year-old supermodel, designer, and fashion maven extraordinaire graced the runway once more, proving that absence indeed makes the heart grow fonder. Hadid’s dramatic entrance – rising from the depths of the stage like Aphrodite from the sea – set the tone for an evening of unparalleled elegance and sartorial splendor.
Opening the show for the first time since 2018, Hadid commanded attention in a pale pink satin playsuit that left little to the imagination. The plunging neckline and lace lingerie peeking through created a tantalizing juxtaposition of innocence and allure. But it was the crowning glory – those signature Victoria’s Secret wings – that truly elevated the ensemble to celestial heights. Oversized and resplendent in pink feathers, they framed Hadid’s lithe figure like a modern-day Cupid ready to conquer hearts.
As if one show-stopping look weren’t enough, Hadid later sashayed down the catwalk in a fiery red ensemble that set pulses racing. A lacy teddy, complemented by a voluminous shawl, spoke to the duality of vulnerability and strength. The pièce de résistance? A pair of sparkly silver cage heels adorned with delicate bows, proving that even in the world of lingerie, it’s all in the details.
The Guest In Residence founder’s return to the Victoria’s Secret fold was nothing short of poetic. As she glided down the runway, the haunting lyrics of INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart” filled the air: “We all have wings but some of us don’t know why.” In that moment, it was clear that Hadid knew exactly why she had wings – to soar above and beyond, pushing the boundaries of fashion and self-expression.
Taking to Instagram, Hadid shared her excitement with her legion of fans. “After today’s rehearsal I can confirm that it will forever feel like a dream come true,” she gushed, her words dripping with the same enthusiasm that has made her a favorite in the industry. The post, accompanied by a nostalgic carousel of her favorite VS moments, served as a testament to her journey and the indelible mark she’s left on the fashion world.
As the curtain falls on this latest chapter of the Victoria’s Secret saga, one thing is certain: Gigi Hadid’s star continues to rise, her wings carrying her to new heights of fashion stardom. In an industry known for its fleeting nature, Hadid proves that true icons never go out of style – they simply evolve, adapt, and continue to captivate our imaginations.
