The event, held at the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn, New York, was marked not only by the return of the annual fashion spectacle, but also by a decisive step towards inclusivity, as evidenced by the presence of Cher. The artist, known for her unconventional choices and strong message, this time did not disappoint the expectations of the gathered audience.
Cher, who admitted on the pink carpet that her outfit wouldn’t be a “big deal,” actually surprised everyone. Her presence on stage, accompanied by partner Alexander Edwards, was like an eye-catcher. In full glamour, with her signature black hair and shiny, oversized cargo pants, Cher performed two of her immortal hits: “Strong Enough” and “Believe”.
Victoria’s Secret, on its social media, did not spare superlatives, calling Cher an “icon”, “legend” and “mother of fashion”. This year, the brand focused on an exceptionally female musical lineup, which reflects the changes taking place in its philosophy. Cher, along with artists like Blackpink’s Tyla and LISA, spearheaded this watershed moment.
Meanwhile, Edwards, 38, Cher’s partner, maintained classic elegance in a black suit, white T-shirt, complemented by a Vivienne Westwood tie and sunglasses with a retro design.
Victoria’s Secret, aware of its past mistakes, promises that this year’s event will reflect the brand’s current values, while being a spectacle full of glamor, fashion innovation and entertainment. In this spirit, the fashion show will be available to a global audience via Prime Video and the brand’s YouTube, TikTok and Instagram channels.

Always inspiring, Cher has been pushing boundaries in music and now in fashion for years, reminding us that true splendor knows no limits of age or convention. Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024, with her participation, promises to be an event that will resonate in the fashion world for a long time.
Well, well, well! What do we have here? The return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and this time it’s adding a sprinkle of Cher magic to the event. Personally, I thought we were just going to see a bunch of young, impossibly beautiful models strutting their stuff in bras and wings—oh wait, we are! But this year’s twist? Cher! And let’s be honest, she could make even a potato sack look good. The Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn better be prepared; if Cher’s outfit wasn’t going to be a "big deal," darling, then I’m clearly growing wings too!
Now, while everyone else was focused on their hair and makeup, Cher showed up in shiny oversized cargo pants—because naturally, if you’re going to break gender norms and redefine fashion, you might as well do it in pants that look like they belong to a space explorer. Did you catch her performing “Strong Enough” and “Believe”? If you didn’t believe before, you surely do now! Watching Cher on stage is like encountering a unicorn wearing glittery shoes—my eyes cannot unsee, nor do I want to!
Ah, and what’s that? Victoria’s Secret showering Cher with compliments, calling her an "icon," a "legend," and the "mother of fashion." It’s good to see them focusing on an all-female musical lineup too—probably their way of saying, "Oops, sorry about the last 100 years of objectifying women instead of empowering them." But hey, at least they are trying! Maybe next year they’ll feature actual miracles—like a dog walking itself!
And let’s give a round of applause to Alexander Edwards, Cher’s partner, who decided to go classic with his black suit and retro sunglasses. Is it just me, or does he look like the last guy you’d want to see in a bank? But there he was, looking dapper while accompanying the queen herself!
As for Victoria’s Secret acknowledging their "past mistakes," well, I guess that’s a polite way of saying they’ve realized that "sexy" isn’t just about seeing bones stick out like a chicken wing at a barbecue. This year’s show will be globally accessible via Prime Video and across their social media channels, because, let’s face it, we need the entire world to witness Cher defying the laws of fashion, along with, presumably, the laws of time!
Cher has always been about pushing those boundaries. Whether it’s music or fashion—she reminds us that age is just a number, and that true fabulousness knows no bounds. If your fashion choices are still great enough to have you performing for throngs of people in your 70s, honey, you’re winning at life!
So, here’s to a spectacular show this year that promises to be not just a flash of glam but also hopefully a change of heart for the brand. Let’s see if Cher can sprinkle some of that dazzling fairy dust on everyone and turn a fashion show into a legacy. Are you ready for the glamour of the century? Because Cher just hit the runway like she’s reminding us all that our outfits need to match our levels of confidence.
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024—can’t wait to see how this unfolds. Until then, I’m off to find a sparkly outfit and adjust my hair to a level of volume that would scare small children!
