Her return follows a memorable debut in 2024, showcasing her playful charisma and unwavering commitment to advocacy as a trans woman.
Alex Consani, the acclaimed trans supermodel, has once again graced the prestigious Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway, delivering a performance brimming with her signature playful charisma and undeniable personality. Her highly anticipated appearance at the 2025 show not only highlighted her captivating stage presence but also underscored her significant impact on the fashion industry and beyond.
The Trailblazing Ascent of Alex Consani
Born on July 23, 2003, in Petaluma, California, Alex Consani burst onto the modeling scene in 2015 at the tender age of 12. At the time, she made history as the world’s youngest transgender model, a pioneering feat that immediately set her apart. Her career quickly escalated after signing with IMG Models in 2019, but it was during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic that she truly connected with a global audience.
Consani gained immense popularity on TikTok, where her comedic videos showcased a vibrant, authentic personality that resonated with millions. This digital stardom propelled her into high fashion, where she has since walked for an impressive roster of top designers, including Tom Ford, Chanel, Versace, Stella McCartney, and Alexander McQueen. Her influence was formally recognized when she was named to GLAAD’s 20 under 20 list in 2021, marking her as a significant voice among young LGBTQ+ game-changers.
Command on the Victoria’s Secret Runway
Consani’s journey with Victoria’s Secret began in 2023 with “The Tour ’23,” leading up to her highly anticipated runway debut in 2024. For her first full Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, she turned heads in a stunning sequined, baby blue bra and matching panties, adorned with a silver chain. A classic VS touch was added with matching, downy wings that grazed the floor, decorated with sparkly stars, complemented by sparkly gladiator sandals with asymmetrical straps.
For the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Consani made a show-stopping return, hitting the catwalk in two distinct looks. Her first ensemble was a bold, red-hot statement, featuring slouchy, thong-bearing trousers, a matching bra, and striking metallic wings. Later, she exuded confidence while strutting to Tate McRae’s “Sports Car” in a sparkly silver coat and a sleek black set, allowing her vibrant personality to shine through.
Ahead of the 2025 event, Consani participated in a teaser photoshoot alongside fellow supermodels Anok Yai, Joan Smalls, Lily Aldridge, Adriana Lima, and Yumi Nu. She shared her excitement on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to work with “the baddest group of girls and the best team there is!” In a cheeky yet powerful move, she concluded her slideshow of backstage moments with a picture of her tuck kit from Unclockable, a trans-led brand, further highlighting her authenticity and commitment to her community. These details were extensively covered by Harper’s Bazaar.
Beyond the Catwalk: Advocacy and Influence
Consani’s impact extends far beyond her stunning runway appearances. In December 2024, she made history again by being named Model of the Year at the annual UK Fashion Awards, becoming the first transgender woman to receive this prestigious honor. This award is a testament to her profound influence on the zeitgeist of today, recognized by publications such as Vogue UK.
She is an outspoken advocate for the trans community, using her platform to foster positivity and resilience. In a candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar this past April, she spoke about the difficulties she’s faced as a trans woman and how she overcomes them. “I speak publicly about what I believe in, and that makes me hopeful,” Consani stated. She powerfully added: “If you want to hate on me? Do it. Do it, because you know what that means? More clicks, more views, more money for me, babe.” Consani’s message emphasizes that the trans community is rooted in positivity, asserting, “We’re never going to go away. We’re never going to go away.”
Her cultural footprint also includes an appearance in Charli XCX’s “360” music video in 2024, connecting her further with music and pop culture enthusiasts. Her active presence on TikTok, where she commands millions of followers, ensures her message and unique perspective reach a wide and diverse audience.
