Quick Summary

Bella Hadid opened the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026 on Sunday night with a fairy-inspired outfit featuring floral embellishments and angel wings adorned with colorful flowers and sparkles. In her fifth appearance since debuting for the brand in 2016, she also walked in an angelic white ensemble during the show. Notably, Hadid's return follows a hiatus due to her Lyme disease, which led to hospitalization last year; she previously clarified that the wings weighed about 50 pounds.
