on Tuesday, the first time the show has been held since 2018.

The 2024 show also saw the return of Victoria’s Secret vets Alessandra Ambrosio, Tyra Banks and Adriana Lima as well as next-generation icons Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin.

The evening show also marked the first walk down the Victoria’s Secret runway for Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio, who was the first transgender model to represent the brand in 2019.

In addition to Sampaio, transgender model Alex Consani was also walking on the runway as the stalwart brand expands on its efforts to be more inclusive.

Cher served as the night’s headline performer along with Blackpink alum Lisa and rising star Tyla — marking the show’s first-ever, all-woman musical lineup.

A number of early reactions on X/Twitter indicated that changes made to the show were not well-received, with specific criticisms coming toward the toned-down production values and striving toward satisfying contemporary social standards.

‘Victoria’s Secret came back with the most boring show ever,’ said one user, while another added, ‘the Victoria’s Secret show looks so modern and boring now, I’m disappointed.’

One user said: ‘Victoria Secret has yet to listen to our public demands. This is not the show we wanted. Everyone’s hair is flat, no extremely tall models, the entire production is different.’

Another said, ‘Victoria Secret really said go woke, go broke.’

‘The new Victoria’s secret fashion show feels so SOULLESS omg… and like why are they playing fake crowd cheering sounds? where’s the iconic runway???’, said another.

‘This was cute but it wasn’t enough… we need to bring back the glitter runway, more lively performances!’, another user said.

‘What happened to the dedicated sets per look, close up of the looks, backstage chaos let’s get back to our roots #VSFashionShow2024! The inclusion was okay but I guess…

‘The OGs chewed a lot the new girls, we were missing plots like who was new [Angels], who were the old, why should we fall in love with them?.. etc. A lot of no personality haute couture walking this is #VSFashionShow2024 where are the smiles, kisses and waves?!’

Sampaio’s walk down the runway marked the first-ever time a trans model has walked in the retailer’s annual show

Transgender model Alex Consani was also walking on the runway Tuesday

Airing live on Amazon’s Prime Video, the iconic runway show was held at the Victoria’s Secret flagship store in New York City after a six-year hiatus.

It comes three years after the lingerie brand’s controversial body-positive rebrand in 2021.

Victoria’s Secret’s iconic Angels were replaced by ‘ambassadors’ like soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the company axed its longtime CEO in wake of falling sales and a bombshell expose that accused the company of misogyny, 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment and bullying.

Adriana Lima made her comeback after six years with a triumphant runway strut

Lisa kicked off the show with an ultra 𝑠e𝑥y performance of her hit Rockstar, which saw her ride into the venue on a motorcycle as models got hyped up backstage.

Surrounded by leather-clad dancers, the singer, 27, flashed her toned tummy in a black vinyl bra shaped like angel wings.

It was styled with a chainmail shrug and micro shorts.

Gigi Hadid then opened the legendary show — which first aired in 1995 — wearing pastel pink wings and a glittering pink costume.

Her short blonde hair was tucked behind her ears, allowing her to show off her sparkly hoop earrings.

Adriana Lima walked to the beat of Chappell Roan’s Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, the Brazilian beauty made jaws drop in a glittery pink and blank plaid bodysuit and pink holographic wings.

Gigi and Adriana’s section also saw the return of Victoria’s Secret vet Doutzen Kroes.

The 39-year-old looked angelic wearing silver metallic wings and a tiny pastel pink bra and panty set.

Taylor Hill dazzled in a crystal-covered bra and loose pants with wings covered in beaded tassels.

Next, Tyla graced the runway for her performance. She was clad in an ultra busty silver and gold look with dramatic white feather wings.

Victoria’s Secret favorite Candice Swanepoel also made her long-awaited catwalk return.

The blonde beauty left very little to the imagination in a sparkly bra and thong underwear.

It was styled with wings that spelled out ‘Victoria’s Secret’ in elegant cursive lettering.

One user provided specific details of the shortcomings of the show the lingerie staple put on Tuesday, explaining aspects they felt the company overlooked in its production Tuesday

Kate Moss’ lookalike daughter Lila, 22, made her Victoria’s Secret debut alongside Candice and Leonardo DiCaprio’s model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.

Vittoria wowed the crowd in a skimpy iridescent bodysuit.

The next section of the show had a 𝑠e𝑥y ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ theme that opened with legendary 90s supermodel Kate Moss.

The 50-year-old sizzled in black feather wings and a sheer, black lace dress over a skimpy bodysuit.

The blonde beauty smoldered as she made the long trek down the runway in sky-high heels.

Adam Levine’s model wife Behati Prinsloo, 36 — who became an Angel back in 2009 — stunned onlookers in her own 𝑠e𝑥y all-black getup.

She modeled a black slip dress with a 𝑠e𝑥y thigh-high slit, tie-wrap heels and unique silver chrome wings.

Joan Smalls looked sensational in tiny black underwear and epic black feather wings.

Valentina Sampaio — Victoria’s Secret’s first

Alessandra Ambrosio brought the heat in her first Victoria’s Secret show in six years in sparkly gold wings and an ultra 𝑠e𝑥y black lingerie outfit.

The mother-of-two, 43, oozed 𝑠e𝑥 appeal in the revealing look that included the brand’s iconic bombshell push-up bra.

After taking time off from modeling to focus on her Lyme disease battle, Bella Hadid looked better than ever as she strutted down the runway in spectacular all-red outfit.

A busty bra and thong-style underwear allowed the 28-year-old to flaunt her chiseled abs.

Hours before storming the 2024 catwalk, the models allowed cameras backstage as hairstylists and makeup artists transformed them.

The fashion show was canceled in 2019 after dealing with bad ratings and a whole slew of wild controversies, and has since made an effort to become more inclusive.

Victoria’s Secret announced the major news with an Instagram post, promising the 2024 show would ‘reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment.’

The popular early aughts mall brand previously returned with a ‘reimagined’ Victoria’s Secret World Tour Prime show in 2023 that was not well received – people called the show boring.

Many former fans watching at home called for the return of former Victoria’s Secret Angels like Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, Molly Sims, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima and more.

That was far from the biggest issue with the brand, as Victoria’s Secret has dealt with multiple controversies over the last few years.

In 2020, a bombshell report in The New York Times claimed that Victoria’s Secret owner Les Wexner mocked the retail industry’s efforts to champion women of different body types.

The Times interviewed more than 30 executives, employees, contractors and models, and looked at court filings to find a toxic culture of 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment.

Employees said Wexner mocked the retail industry’s efforts to embrace a variety of body types by allegedly saying, ‘Nobody goes to a plastic surgeon and says, ‘Make me fat.’

Wexner was said to also berate employees about their weight, including fat shaming an employee for getting seconds at a buffet.
