Obsessed with Paloma Elsesser at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Paloma Elsesser is spreading her wings at her first-ever Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The model has previously walked for high-end brands like Hermès, Ferragamo, Mugler, Carolina Herrera and Proenza Schouler, and now, she's officially one of Victoria's Secret's iconic Angels. Honestly? Could not love this vibe for her more.
She strutted down the catwalk in a pink satin night dress, but far from your grandma's pyjamas, the figure-hugging design was cut to a mini length and featured crystal-embellished straps. Further decorative detailing could be seen across the neckline with rhinestone bows adorning the fabric. The chemise was layered over a silver sparkly bra and of course Paloma wore angel wings. Her pair consisted of a pink wired frame strung with hundreds of pink crystal tassel strings that swished with every step.
Obsessed!
It's no secret the brand hasn't always aced it in terms of representation. In 2019, Victoria's Secret infamously put the show on hiatus in an effort to make it more inclusive and representative of different body types. The lingerie brand also hired its first-ever plus-sized model, Ali Tate Cutler, that same year for a campaign.
Now, Paloma regularly models for several VS campaigns, including one alongside OG Angel Candice Swanepoel for the Bombshell eau de parfum. It goes without saying, her presence on the runway as a plus-size model brought some *very* welcome representation to proceedings.
Ahead of her VS runway debut, Paloma described the updated show as “a fresh start and a new vision for the future.”
“It means stepping into a space that’s evolving and making room for more diverse voices and bodies,” she said during an August Q&A with the brand. As for her involvement, the supermodel gushed,“The return of the show actually means a lot to me. I think growing up, obviously I thought these women were so beautiful and embodied an identity and experience that I couldn't particularly relate to, but that I really admired.”
She added, “I'm really excited for this show to speak to a new generation of models and people, and also speaking to legends of the past.”
