Victoria’s Secret Makes a Comeback!

Oh, the lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret is back after a six-year snooze! Yes, folks, they took a little break from the limelight, possibly sipping tea with their critics who pointed out that their shows resembled a bachelor party more than a celebration of fashion. But hey, they’ve moved to Brooklyn, and with it, there’s an extravagant show everyone is watching. It’s like when you leave a party and come back three hours later, dressed entirely differently yet somehow looking the same. Well, cheers to that!

Carla Bruni Joins the Angels

And what’s this? Carla Bruni, the former First Lady of France and a fashion fixture, graces the runway among the newest squad of Victoria’s Secret angels. I mean, why not throw someone in there who’s been a muse to Leonardo DiCaprio? Good luck topping THAT casting! The current lineup comes packed with heavy hitters – we’ve got Candace Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, and the unstoppable duo of Gigi and Bella Hadid.

But wait, there’s more! The brand has invited some true fashion legends, including Kate Moss, Eva Herzigová, Tyra Banks, and now Carla Bruni. Honestly, it’s like a reunion tour but with fewer awkward high school moments and more corsets. Aged 50 and fabulous, these iconic faces strut down the runway, making everyone rethink their skincare regimens!

Now, Bruni, lit up the catwalk wearing a rather daring black corset with a neckline so plunging, one could practically dive into the Atlantic. Paired with lace tights and sequinned heels that scream “I know where the after-party is!” plus those dazzling angel wings crafted from tiny black beads – talk about a comeback outfit. Who needs a cape when you can have wings? It’s like she’s superhero-level fabulous!

This grand debut underscores Victoria’s Secret’s apparent shift towards recognizing the need for diversity in the fashion world. I mean, let’s not only put a premium on ultra-sexualized models, shall we? It’s about time they realise that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and—let’s not forget—ages!
