Jade Thirlwall embraced her inner monster by transforming into the “gargoyle of your dreams” after her song went viral during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, earning her an invitation to Heidi Klum’s legendary Halloween party.
Last month, Kylie Jenner walked the iconic runway to the Little Mix star’s solo track while wearing the coveted angel wings and $50 million Fantasy Bra.
The moment spread rapidly across social media, sending streams of Angel Of My Dreams soaring in the United States as thousands of fans recreated the performance on TikTok.
Spotify reported a 4,300 per cent rise in global plays for Angel Of My Dreams, while streams for JADE increased by 760 per cent worldwide.
On Saturday, Jade joined the star-studded guest list for one of Halloween’s most anticipated parties.
At the New York celebration, the singer was barely recognisable after transforming herself into a gothic gargoyle.

She wore a cracked, stone-textured skinsuit layered with draped grey fabric.
Jade finished the elaborate look with oversized feathered wings and a dramatic hairstyle at the event, held at New York City’s Cathédrale.
Sharing photos from the night on Instagram, the singer captioned them: “Gargoyle of your dreams.”
The appearance came after Jade revealed that she had “reached out to say thank you” to Kylie, whose runway appearance helped turn the track into a viral success.
Jade said the song’s unexpected revival still had not fully sunk in and revealed that she planned to send Kylie a gift as a gesture of appreciation.
She said: “I’ve reached out and just said thank you. I’m gonna have to send her something and the Victoria’s Secret team.”
Speaking to Rolling Stone, she added: “I feel like it still hasn’t sunk in yet. What’s going on? I feel like every artist dreams of your song taking off, but the fact that Angel Of My Dreams came out two years ago—in my head, it was a worldwide smash.
“It got the reviews and the credibility it deserved, and it got a lot of attention at the time and a lot of respect as a pop song. At the time, I thought, OK, well, that’s enough for me.
“With what the song’s about, I was like, no, I’m at peace with that amount of success for this, even though in my head I thought it deserved more.”
Earlier that day, Jade joked about making her Halloween plans at the last minute

Jade has been enjoying the song’s surprise comeback and last week posted a series of playful TikTok videos, including one in which she wore a Newcastle football shirt and joked that she was the “angel of the north.”
In another chaotic clip, she appeared panicked as she explained that she was busy “promoting my debut single from two years ago because it got played at the VS fashion show.”
She said she was trying to give the track, released in July 2024, “its well-deserved moment” while also working on new music.
Jade, who rose to fame after appearing on the UK’s The X Factor with Little Mix in 2011, first reacted publicly to the memorable Victoria’s Secret moment while travelling on the London Underground.
Looking around the Tube, she wrote: “Nobody on this tube knows that my debut single was playing while Kylie Jenner wore the Fantasy Bra at the VS fashion show.”
Kylie captivated viewers as she walked the catwalk in the famous $50 million Fantasy Bra, with Angel Of My Dreams providing the soundtrack.
In the chorus, Jade sings: “Angel of my dreams / I will always love you and hate you, it’s not fair / It’s so bittersweet / I will always want you and need you, you don’t care / You don’t.”
Jade began her solo career after Little Mix went on hiatus in 2022. She released Angel Of My Dreams in 2024, with the single reaching number seven on the UK charts.
She later won Best Pop Act at the 2025 BRIT Awards and released her debut album, That’s Showbiz, Baby!, last year.
Kylie became the centre of attention after wearing the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s crown jewel, a piece traditionally reserved for established models who have earned their place on the runway.
However, the television personality also faced criticism after becoming the first non-Angel to wear the celebrated bra during the show.
Critics even called for the event to be cancelled after Kylie appeared in the gemstone-encrusted $50 million (£38 million) Fantasy Bra at the fashion spectacle in Culver City, California.
Previous models to wear the famous bra include Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Tyra Banks and Candice Swanepoel.
