Queen Kate Moss made her debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 in New York on Tuesday, walking the runway in a surprise appearance that left viewers and audience members in awe. The 50-year-old supermodel reclaimed her title as one of the most iconic catwalk stars by taking to the VS Fashion Show runway for the first time ever, a feat that seems almost unbelievable given her illustrious career. Although Moss has participated in numerous shows since her official retirement in 2004, her return to the VS runway was nothing short of spectacular. She confidently showcased a see-through laced dress with her bra and bottoms on full display, marking her grand return.
Moss’ unexpected appearance caused a frenzy both in the audience and online. The crowd erupted in excitement as she emerged to the tune of “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll,” commanding the stage with her glamorous look, complete with black angel wings, hoop earrings, smoky eyes, and nude lips. Social media buzzed with reactions, with one X user exclaiming, “MOTHER THE OG SUPER MODEL OF ALL THE TIME Kate moss makes her come back at the victoria’s secret fashion show.” Another user couldn’t contain their excitement, writing, “Not victoria secret got kate moss out of retirement!!!!!!!” A third user praised Moss’ performance, saying, “Look at how Kate Moss STAYED in character honey yessss.”
Moss’ appearance was met with enthusiastic cheers and applause, injecting new life into the show, which had faced criticism for its lack of diversity since its cancellation in 2019. Victoria’s Secret announced the return of its runway show in May, promising to reflect the brand’s current identity and values. The Instagram caption read, “We’ve read the comments and heard you. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is ✨ BACK ✨ and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more! Stay tuned…it only gets more iconic from here. 🪽”
In addition to Moss, the show featured other notable supermodels such as Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Gigi Hadid, Grace Elizabeth, and Tyra Banks, who closed out the event. The presence of these all-female performances, including those by Tyla, Lisa, and the legendary Cher, added a unique charm to the show, making its return a memorable one.
