Victoria’s Secret show 2025: A Cinematic Rebirth
The year 2025 marks a turning point for Victoria’s Secret show — not merely a return to runway ritual, but a deliberate reinvention of what a lingerie spectacle can mean in a new cultural moment. This is not a rerun of familiar tropes; it is a confident, cinematic reimagining that positions lingerie as narrative, identity, and empowerment, rather than only fantasy and spectacle.
At the heart of this reinvention lies a simple premise: lingerie can tell stories. In past decades, the brand’s runway was synonymous with glamour, performance, and bold marketing. Today, the stakes are different. Audiences want resonance. They want staging that feels alive, casting that reflects real bodies and lives, and messages that speak to agency instead of objectification. The 2025 iteration embraces those demands and aims to translate them into a visual language that is both theatrical and intimate.
This year’s production turns the runway into a sequence of cinematic scenes rather than disconnected walks. Lighting is treated like a character; soundscapes stretch from hush to crescendo; staging borrows from theater and film editing to create chapters. Designers and creative directors have moved away from spectacle as spectacle’s sake — instead each look functions as a moment in a larger narrative arc. Wings, lace, and satin become motifs that echo themes of transformation, resilience, and self-possession.
By adopting cinematic techniques — framing, controlled color palettes, and dramaturgical pacing
the show invites viewers into an emotional arc. The effect is immersive: audiences feel less like spectators at a parade and more like witnesses to short, powerful stories. This approach elevates lingerie to cinematic iconography, where a single silhouette or a particular seam can signify vulnerability, rebellion, or quiet power.
A central pillar of the 2025 vision is inclusive casting that moves beyond tokenism to genuine representation. The new runway language deliberately includes a diversity of body types, ages, ethnicities, and gender expressions, presenting lingerie as belonging to many bodies, not just a narrow ideal. This reframing matters because representation on such a visible stage reshapes cultural imagination — it signals that elegance and sensuality exist in many forms.
But inclusivity here is not merely about checkboxes; it’s paired with storytelling. Each model is presented as an individual with presence and agency. Rather than being anonymous components of fantasy, they are protagonists in small visual narratives. This choice redefines glamour: it becomes generous, communal, and human.
Design: Between Craft and Concept
The 2025 collections balance craft with concept. Technical mastery — tailoring, embroidery, innovative textiles — sits alongside conceptual lifts that speak to contemporary lives.
