The highly anticipated return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, 2025, transcended traditional fashion boundaries, becoming a global stage for music and culture. Held in New York City, the event was particularly notable for featuring groundbreaking appearances by K-pop girl group TWICE and beloved Filipino actress Anne Curtis, marking a significant shift towards greater inclusivity and international appeal for the brand.
TWICE Takes the Stage: A Historic Performance
TWICE etched their name into history as the first K-pop girl group ever to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The group’s performance was a central highlight, energizing the runway with their vibrant stage presence. Four of their nine members—Nayeon, Jihyo, Tzuyu, and Momo—took to the stage, delivering dynamic renditions of their hits “This Is For” and “Strategy.” Article No 2 also mentions a performance of their November single “Do What We Like”.
The members sported coordinated baby-pink fuzzy knee-high boots and apparel emblazoned with the PINK logo in silver rhinestones, aligning with the show’s “Class of Pink 2025” segment. Speaking on the pink carpet, Jihyo, through a translator, shared her enthusiasm: “We are used to doing the performances with nine members, but this time we are able to do only four of us, so I hope you guys enjoy this new performance of us,” as reported by Billboard.
Anne Curtis: A Filipino Star Shines Bright
Filipino actress and media personality Anne Curtis also garnered significant attention with her standout appearance. Attending as a distinguished guest, Curtis captivated onlookers in a sophisticated crystal-embellished two-piece ensemble, elegantly topped with a black blazer. She took to her official Instagram account, @annecurtissmith, to share glimpses of her experience, fueling excitement among her massive fanbase.
Curtis captioned her post, “Wings, city lights, and a little warm welcome party from the [@victoriassecret] team. The show starts tonight! That’s 7 am tomorrow Manila time. Can’t wait!” Her presence underscored the show’s growing international appeal and its ability to draw stars from diverse entertainment industries.
Beyond the Music: The Revitalized Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show marked a pivotal moment for the brand, continuing its revival of live runway events after a hiatus. This edition emphasized inclusivity and diversity, embracing a broader vision of beauty and strength. In a historic move, WNBA star Angel Reese and Olympic gymnast Suni Lee became the first professional athletes to walk in a Victoria’s Secret show.
Suni Lee’s runway debut was notably soundtracked by TWICE’s performance, symbolizing the brand’s new era that celebrates athletic achievement alongside mainstream fashion. The show also welcomed back longtime Angels such as Adriana Lima and Gigi Hadid, blending iconic figures with new, diverse faces to present a truly modern vision.
A Star-Studded Lineup: Other Performers and Highlights
TWICE shared the musical spotlight with an impressive all-female headliner roster. The legendary Missy Elliott closed the show with a high-energy medley of her classics, delivering an unforgettable finale. Critically acclaimed artist Karol G and pop sensation Madison Beer also contributed captivating live performances, further solidifying the fashion show’s commitment to merging high fashion with top-tier musical acts.
TWICE’s Global Momentum: Tours and New Music
The appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show comes as TWICE continues to expand its global footprint. The group is currently preparing for their “This Is For 2026” world tour, with planned stops across North America, Europe, and the U.K., as noted by Elle. This high-profile event served as a major platform to connect with their growing international fanbase ahead of their extensive tour.
Adding to their busy schedule, TWICE also announced the release of a new album titled “Ten: The Story Goes On,” set to drop on October 10, 2025, just days before their Victoria’s Secret debut. This milestone coincides with their 10th anniversary, further solidifying their dominant position in the global music industry.
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was more than just a fashion event; it was a cultural spectacle. With TWICE’s historic performance, Anne Curtis’s glamorous attendance, and a renewed focus on diversity, the brand has firmly positioned itself at the forefront of contemporary fashion and entertainment, celebrating a broader definition of beauty and global talent.
