Victoria’s Secret is looking for a new angel to walk their storied runway show − and it just might be you.
As USA Today reports, the famed lingerie brand announced Thursday, April 2, that they were launching an open casting call for a new angel to be plucked from the masses to not only walk in their fashion show but also secure a contract with IMG Models.
Calling All Angels
“The biggest night in fashion, entertainment, music, culture, and chaos (the best kind!) returns this fall,
and YOU could be our next Angel. We’re hosting an open casting across America—capturing the journey every step of the way. This is your chance to walk the iconic Victoria’s Secret runway, but that’s not all. You’ll also be signed to an exclusive contract with IMG Models.”
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which took a brief hiatus but returned in 2025, is set to arrive again this fall, promising the usual fanfare as audiences watch models defy gravity in impossibly tall heels, heavy wings and jaw-dropping lingerie looks.
Part runway production, part concert, the format is much unchanged – “angels” strut down a long catwalk in lingerie and oversized wings, and popular musical acts provide a live soundtrack. Last year, Madison Beer, Missy Elliott and K-pop girl group TWICE, took the stage.
Widening the Net
While last year’s model lineup included heavy hitters from the pre-hiatus days − Behati Prinsloo, Adriana Lima and Jasmine Tookes, who proudly modeled with a growing baby bump − the show also drafted newbie talent like onetime social media star Quenlin Blackwell.
Just last year, Angel Reese became the first-ever pro-athlete to grace the runway, evidence of a new approach for the brand, which has tried in recent years to shed its reputation as a factory of aspiration, promoting one ultra-thing vision of beauty.
Their choice to select a new angel from obscurity and chronicle her rise to fame may be another way to provide a fresh coat of paint to a production that runs the risk of still feeling, to some, like a relic of the pre-body positivity movement.
Applications for the open casting call are set to open Monday, April 6. Just go to the VS website to get all the details on how to apply and all the other details surrounding the upcoming shows.
