Beauty Breakdown: 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Looks
After a six-year hiatus, the Victoria’s Secret fashion show made its live debut on October 15 in Brooklyn, New York. The show returns with some of the biggest faces in the industry, such as Gigi Hadid, Tyra Banks, Anok Yai, and many more. The runway was filled with amazing hairstyles and makeup looks that created a lot of buzz. Let’s dive into the standout looks that stole the spotlight!
Slicked Back Hair
The iconic bombshell blowouts synonymous with the VS show were missing this year. However, the current trend of slicked-back hair was one of the most popular styles on the runway. Supermodel Gigi Hadid rocked a gorgeous slicked-back short haircut with waves. Anok Yai, who made her debut VS show, and Adriana Lima both had high slicked-back ponytails. While the blowouts made the angels look feminine and youthful, these gorgeous slicked-back hair made all of them look fierce and strong.
Smoky Eyes
Multiple models were seen with smokey-eye looks for an edgier spin on the show. Alex Consani, Bella Hadid, and Jasmine Tookes were seen with beautiful bronze smokey eyes paired with nude lips. It's such a classic combo that always looks amazing! These looks were created using dark brown kohl as a base and topped off with a shimmery shade on the eyelids.
Natural Curls
In a never-before-seen look at the Victoria's Secret runway, many models rocked their natural hair. Tyra Banks, Imaan Hammam, and Joan Smalls displayed their big, voluminous natural hair. These curls provided some authenticity to the show and added extra drama to each look on the runway.
Nude Nails
This year's makeup and hair were dramatic and fierce, while the nails were much more elegant and simple. Lead nail artist Dawn Sterling wanted the models to have clean and chic nails, so a range of nude nail polishes were used. The colors were sheer shades of pink that would illuminate with lighting and the angel wings.
Makeup Free Backstage Looks
We haven't seen many backstage makeup-free models before. However, many models were showing off their beautiful natural faces backstage this year. Among many other models, Alessandra Ambrosio and Josephine Skriver were seen without makeup behind the scenes. This rare glimpse showcasing their natural beauty hints at a shift in the fashion industry, one where we are seeing more and more natural beauty.
