Story summary

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned on October 19, 2026, featuring Barbara Palvin who walked the runway six weeks after giving birth to her first child, Sylvie. The show also marked Kylie Jenner's surprise debut wearing a $50 million diamond bra created by Jacob & Co., making it the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever. The piece features a 75.54-carat natural Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond surrounded by 4,409 diamonds totaling 1,373 carats. Critics have noted that while the event is celebrated for its extravagance and return to form after a hiatus, it also raises questions about inclusivity and brand endorsements in the post-MeToo era. Kris Jenner and Timothée Chalamet supported Kylie during her runway debut, drawing mixed reactions from social media users regarding the selection of a non-Angel model for such an iconic piece.
