Kate Moss has made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut, following her daughter on the catwalk – as the US lingerie brand brought its famous show back after six years.
Some of the world’s most famous models and musicians took part in the fashion show in New York, including sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, Tyra Banks, and Adriana Lima.
Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani also made history as they became the first transgender models to walk the famous Victoria’s Secret runway.

The show, which launched in 1995, was watched by millions of viewers each year at its peak.
However, it was cancelled in 2019 after suffering its lowest ratings the previous year. It had also begun to attract criticism for lack of diversity.
Now, it is “celebrating all women” with its return, the brand said.

Moss, 50, made a surprise appearance during the event in New York – appearing on the runway wearing a pair of feathered angel wings, walking to I Love Rock’n’Roll, just moments after her 22-year-old daughter, Lila.
Bella Hadid, 28, emerged during a performance from Cher – who sang a medley of her 1998 tracks Believe and Strong Enough, leading the show’s first line-up of all female music performers, including K-pop star Lisa and South African singer Tyla.

The star, 50, broke her retirement to close the event, her first Victoria’s Secret runway since 2005.
