The iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made a spectacular comeback on October 15, 2024, and it was nothing short of a showstopper! After a five-year hiatus, the beloved event returned with a dazzling lineup of veterans and rising stars, and who better to headline the night than pop legend Cher?
As the show aired live from New York City on Amazon and social media, Cher delivered an electrifying performance of her hits “Strong Enough” and “Believe,” perfectly aligning with the show’s new message of female empowerment. Emerging in the latter half of the event, Cher was flanked by an all-female troupe of dancers, all dressed in sleek black outfits that contrasted dramatically against the vibrant red lighting. Cher herself shone in sparkly black cargo-like pants and a corseted top, exuding confidence and style.
The atmosphere turned electric as the models returned to the catwalk during “Believe,” strutting their stuff in stunning red ensembles. Among the highlights was the much-anticipated return of Bella Hadid, who graced the runway in a breathtaking tulle cape that swept behind her.
Cher also made a glamorous appearance on the red carpet ahead of her performance, accompanied by her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards. While she sported her iconic long black hair on stage, she opted for a chic blonde look for the carpet, showcasing her timeless style.
This year’s show marked a historic moment with its all-female lineup of performers, including K-pop sensation Lisa and South African artist Tyla. Cher joins the ranks of music legends who have graced the Victoria’s Secret stage, following in the footsteps of stars like Ariana Grande, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift.
The 2024 show was particularly significant as it signaled the brand’s return after announcing in 2019 that it would no longer host the live event due to criticism over a lack of body diversity. With this reboot, Victoria’s Secret aims to reflect its evolution, promising a blend of glamour, runway magic, and unforgettable musical performances.
As Cher belted out her empowering anthems, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show reminded us all that confidence and strength are always in style!
