Bella Hadid made a dramatic return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, showcasing two distinct looks on the runway at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
The 30-year-old model opened her appearance in a dazzling multicolored embellished bra, coordinating wings and a sheer green miniskirt.
Her wings were adorned with flowers, while she wore her blonde hair loose with a center part for the glamorous event.
For her second runway look, Bella slipped into a sheer white dress with a high neckline, layered over a white bra-and-underwear ensemble.
The striking outfit was completed by oversized white angel wings, accented with silver details and extending dramatically from her back.
Bella’s participation had not been announced ahead of the show. She previously walked for the brand in 2025, 2024, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

She was followed by her sister Gigi, 31, who appeared in a shimmering silver top, blue-and-pink underwear and spectacular silver fringed wings.
Bella’s return quickly sparked enthusiastic reactions online as fans watched her take the runway in both looks.
“BELLA HADID YOU ARE THE MOMENT,” one user wrote.
Another fan said they were “crying,” adding that “Bella deserves this spotlight so much.”
“When I saw Bella I knew this segment was about to SERVE!” another fan commented.
A further reaction read: “bella hadid opening, followed by anok yai, adriana lima and candice swanepoel might have just brought us closer to world peace.”
Hadid’s latest appearance came a year after fans speculated that she had struggled to balance her outfit during the 2025 show, following a hospitalization connected to her ongoing battle with Lyme disease.
She later addressed the speculation on social media, highlighting the physical challenge of carrying the wings. “Ok we’re not going to pretend these wings weren’t 50 pounds but HOW BEAUTIFUL,” she wrote.

A major moment was the reveal and runway debut of Victoria’s Secret’s newest Angel, Solange Omon, who was recently discovered through the brand’s YouTube streaming series Angels Among Us.
The show marked its third year back following a six-year hiatus that threatened the future of the iconic lingerie brand.
However, the excitement hasn’t been entirely without controversy, as some big names were noticeably snubbed from the glittering line-up of models.
Earlier this month, fans of the show vowed to boycott the event after several beloved supermodels were rejected from walking the catwalk.
