Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returns with new Los Angeles location

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is officially returning in 2026, with the iconic runway event set to leave New York behind and head to Los Angeles for this year's edition.

Victoria's Secret announced the location on July 16, confirming that the annual spectacle will take place in the City of Angels after being held in New York for the previous two years.

In an Instagram announcement, the brand wrote, "The wait is over—the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back! This year, we're taking the show on the road to the birthplace of glamour, stardom, and icons... Los Angeles, California. It's the City of Angels, after all."

While an official date has not yet been revealed, the fashion show has traditionally been staged in mid-October in recent years.

The brand has also confirmed that supermodel Gigi Hadid will return to the runway for this year's event.

In a promotional video shared on Instagram, Hadid leaned out of a car window and said, "Get in, Angels, we're going to L.A.!" before blowing a kiss to the camera.

Additional models participating in the show have yet to be announced.

Victoria's Secret has also not revealed which musical artists will perform during the event.

Previous editions have featured high-profile performers including Cher and Missy Elliott, continuing the brand's tradition of pairing its runway with major live music acts.

Details about how fans can watch the 2026 show have also not been confirmed.

However, in recent years, the event has been streamed across the brand's social media platforms, allowing viewers around the world to follow the runway in real time.

Attendance at the show remains invitation-only, with seats typically reserved for celebrities, fashion industry insiders, influencers and invited guests.

More announcements, including additional models, performers and the official show date, are expected in the coming months.
