Victoria's Secret is the biggest lingerie brand in the US, but the company has struggled in recent years, suffering falling sales, widespread criticism for its lack of inclusivity, and scandal over its former CEO's association with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
As a result of this turmoil, the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was ditched in 2019, and has remained ditched in the years since. But last night, at the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn, New York, it returned, all guns blazing, after a buildup that saw national landmarks from the Eiffel Tower, Paris to the Worli Sea Link Bridge, Mumbai dressed up in the brand's pink angel wings. Elsewhere, "celebratory flash mobs" formed from Bogota to Bucharest, presumably to wow the fortunate citizens of those cities.
