Victoria’s Secret’s 2026 Show Put Women Performers at the Center of the Runway

Critical Content | Reported October 22, 2026

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to Los Angeles on October 18, 2026, with models, theatrical costumes and a soundtrack led entirely by women performers. The event drew celebrity attention, but its musical lineup became one of its clearest themes.

According to Reuters, Megan Moroney, Tate McRae, the group KATSEYE and Megan Thee Stallion all performed during the show. Each set helped create a different mood as the presentation moved through a sequence inspired by the year’s seasons.

A runway divided by the seasons

Executive creative director Adam Selman described a concept that moved through spring, summer, autumn and two interpretations of winter, with a dedicated section for the brand’s PINK line. The production used elaborate wings, floral forms, snowflake motifs and metallic styling to make each chapter visually distinct.

The musical guests were not merely background acts. Their styling and performances were woven into the broader spectacle, from KATSEYE’s pop-group energy to Megan Thee Stallion’s striking stage presence. The show also placed newer artists alongside established stars rather than relying on a single celebrity headliner.

Why the presentation is getting attention

Kylie Jenner, Lisa Rinna and other well-known guests added another layer of coverage. Reuters reported Jenner’s appearance in a high-value Fantasy Bra, making fashion and celebrity news intersect in one event.

Runway productions are designed to circulate well beyond the room in which they happen. Their most shared moments often involve music, surprising casting, or striking visual contrasts, which can reach viewers who do not closely follow fashion.

The October show illustrates how a lingerie brand has turned its runway into a cross-platform entertainment broadcast. Viewers interested in fashion can follow the looks; music fans have their own reasons to watch.
