Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026: Models, Theme and Venue
The show moves to Los Angeles after two years in New York, according to Style Rave. Marie Claire reported that the last time it was held in Los Angeles was 2007, which is 19 years ago. Adam Selman, the brand’s chief creative officer, said he wanted the show “bigger and bolder than last year,” and that no New York space could hold everything the team planned, Style Rave reported. The theme is “Fandemonium,” according to Style Rave and 105.1 The Bounce. Style Rave reported that it centers on fan participation through open casting calls and weekly ticket drops on social media.
Ten models had been announced as of Sept. 27, according to Layers of Beauty: Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham, Imaan Hammam, Anok Yai, Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani, Abby Champion and Devyn Garcia. Style Rave listed the same 10 names. Marie Claire’s separate reports named only some of them, including Hadid, Elsesser, Yai, Consani and Graham.
How to Watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and Get Tickets
The stream starts at 4:30 p.m. PT on Sunday. Layers of Beauty converted that to 12:30 a.m. Monday in the United Kingdom and 1:30 a.m. Monday in central Europe. Viewers do not need cable. Victoria’s Secret is streaming the show on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, and Layers of Beauty reported that it will also screen live at 10 AMC theaters in cities including Glendale and Santa Clara in California, Chicago, the Miami area, Houston, Arlington, Atlanta, Alexandria in Virginia, Glendale in Arizona and Times Square in New York.
The brand is not selling tickets. Layers of Beauty reported that seats are given away through giveaways, and that new chances are announced on Thursdays on the brand’s social channels. The site wrote that the show now offers the public its first access to actual seats. Last year’s broadcast ran 50 minutes and 39 seconds, according to the same report, so a viewer who watches the whole thing will spend about 51 minutes on it if the length holds.
What the Show Has Changed Since 2019
Marie Claire reported that the show ended in 2019 after the worst ratings in its history and accusations of LGBTQ+ discrimination and harassment inside the company. The magazine wrote that executives said the brand’s messaging needed to evolve. The brand brought the show back in 2024 under CEO Hilary Super, the first woman to lead the company, according to Marie Claire.
The 2025 show produced two firsts, Marie Claire reported. Jasmine Tookes opened it as the first pregnant person to do so and the second Black Angel. Angel Reese, a WNBA player, became the first athlete-turned-Angel to walk the runway. Elsesser, Graham, Yai and Hammam are among the 10 models announced for 2026.
The Angels Among Us Search and the IMG Contract
A YouTube docuseries called “Angels Among Us” follows the search for a new Angel, with new episodes on Thursdays and Sundays, Hola reported. Hola reported that more than 100,000 aspiring Angels took part in the nationwide search and that the winner receives a contract with IMG Models.
The sources reviewed did not say when the winner will be named. Marie Claire described a “Top 10” group of Angel hopefuls. If 10 hopefuls remain from more than 100,000 entrants, the finalists make up no more than 0.01% of the field.
What Happens Next
The show is 16 days away. Fans who want a seat can watch the brand’s social channels on Thursdays for ticket giveaways. Victoria’s Secret has not announced what Megan will perform, and none of the reports reviewed said whether she will appear in the runway segments as well as the music segments.
