Carla Bruni, new Victoria’s Secret Angel
After a six-year absence, the famous Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show makes its grand return, marked by the presence of a French Angel, Carla Bruni. It was someone who told me…that it was great!
At the age of 56, Carla Bruni made history by donning the iconic Victoria’s Secret wings. On October 15, during the show in Brooklyn, the Franco-Italian singer and model walked the runway in a spectacular black outfit, complete with heart-shaped wings adorned with rhinestone bangs. The moment was immortalized by Eva Herzigova, another model present backstage.
On Instagram, Carla shared her joy and thanked the brand for the opportunity. She posted a video of herself, with a touching message: “Thank you so much @victoriassecret #VSFashionShow for giving me new wings at my venerable age…”. She perfectly embodied the brand’s new face, now more inclusive and diverse.
Carla Bruni, a code-breaking French Angel
Carla Bruni is not your typical Victoria’s Secret Angel. Known for her committed stance, she took part in the Pink October campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer screening. This gesture illustrates the evolution of Victoria’s Secret, which wants to move away from the image of exclusively young, sexualized models.
Carla Bruni symbolizes this new era, where age diversity and social commitment take precedence over beauty.
An inclusive show
After a six-year hiatus, the brand has decided to break with past criticism. From now on, the focus is on diversity and body acceptance. The return of icons such as Gigi Hadid and Candice Swanepoel, alongside new faces like Devyn Garcia and Paloma Elsesser, illustrates this new brand image.
The event, punctuated by spectacular musical performances, also featured appearances by Blackpink member Lisa and the legendary Cher. A new, more inclusive version of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was born, without losing any of its glamour.
It seems to us that the Victoria’s Secret show is rising like a sexy phoenix from the ashes. Let’s expect to see a grandiose competition between Etam and the American brand.
