Pink, glittery, and with wings – after years of searching for a new identity, the Victoria's Secret fashion show returned to center stage Wednesday night. The runway featured familiar names alongside fresh faces: Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jasmine Tookes, alongside Angel Reese, Iris Law, and Suni Lee – and of course Israeli representative Daniella Halfon.
This marks the second consecutive year an Israeli model has walked in the prestigious show. Last year, Sun Mizrahi made history as the first Israeli model to walk the iconic runway.
Halfon, 22, who is represented by ITM modeling agency, was recently selected to photograph a campaign for "Kylie Cosmetics" – chosen from 100 candidates worldwide.
In an interview with Israel Hayom in January 2025, she revealed that despite being from Israel, she receives mostly positive reactions. "People mainly want to know what it's like to live in a place where there's war," she said.
During the show, the energy was complemented by live performances from Madison Beer, Cardi B, Korean group TWICE, and Missy Elliott. All of this – in less than an hour.
Model Jasmine Tookes was first to walk, proudly showing her pregnancy belly in a crocheted, sheer dress. For the first time in the brand's history, professional athletes also received wings. WNBA star Angel Reese and Olympic gymnast Suni Lee officially became new "angels."
The Hadid family naturally returned to the runway, with Bella Hadid, sporting new honey-colored hair, taking the runway in the evening's red section – alongside her sister Gigi, who returned exactly a decade after her debut appearance in the show.
The Victoria's Secret show is one of the most-watched stages in the world, and every model dreams of the moment she earns the chance to walk it.
