Victoria’s Secret runway return faces mixed reactions

The much-anticipated return of Victoria's Secret to the runway, following a five-year hiatus, was met with both excitement and scrutiny. The lingerie giant, which had faced criticism for its outdated, “sexy-first” image during the #MeToo era, undertook a vigorous rebranding campaign, attempting to realign itself with modern sensibilities and more inclusive values. With the stakes higher than ever, the brand sought to recapture its former glory with a show that featured some of its iconic elements alongside efforts to adapt to the changing cultural landscape.
