The 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is so close I can almost smell the hairspray and Bombshell perfume. In mere hours, top models like Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, and Paloma Elsesser will flutter down the runway, bedazzled angel wings in tow—but not before a turn in the backstage glam chair.
As we speak, robe-clad veterans and newbies alike are transforming into Victoria's Secret Angels. This process—though glamorous in theory—began around noon, even though the show starts at 7 p.m. ET. Pale pink curtains and makeup mirrors lined the walls backstage, creating an aesthetically-pleasing backdrop for blowouts aplenty. (Oh, and makeup by Pat McGrath.)
