Gigi Hadid made a triumphant return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024, exuding style and grace. As she geared up for her first appearance in six years on Tuesday, October 15, she couldn’t help but think of her dear friend, Taylor Swift.
Stepping onto the catwalk in New York, Gigi dazzled in a mesmerizing soft pink bodysuit, her back adorned with the iconic larger-than-life angel wings. But before strutting her stuff, she channeled Swift’s signature pose from her Eras tour, adding a playful touch to her entrance. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight backstage, Gigi hinted at a special surprise she had in store for the runway, revealing, “I can’t remember if it’s ever been done on the VS runway, but there’s an aspect to it that I was trained to do by Taylor on her tour. At one of her rehearsals, she was like, ‘I’m going to show you how we do this,’ and now I’m using it tonight.”
As Gigi made her grand debut, waving like the Karma singer during her Eras Tour, fans couldn’t contain their excitement. Swifties showered her with love and admiration, with one fan expressing, “That was such a fun moment! Love Gigi!”
Although Taylor Swift couldn’t be there to witness the spectacle this year, she is no stranger to the Victoria’s Secret stage. Swift graced the show in 2013 with a performance of “I Knew You Were Trouble”, returning in 2014 with iconic renditions of “Blank Space” and “Style”. This year, the stage was lit up by Tyla’s captivating performances of Cher’s “Strong Enough” and “Believe”, much to the delight of the audience.
Meanwhile, Gigi Hadid embodied a soft, feminine aura in a satin pink bodysuit with a plunging neckline and a cinched waist. Adorned with jewels and sporting the signature angel wings crafted from feathers, she radiated a heavenly charm on the runway. Completing her look with René Caovilla heels and her stylish bob, Gigi left a lasting impression on all who witnessed her ethereal presence.
