The Victorias Secret annual fashion show used to be a highly anticipated event. Between the elaborate costumes, celebrity singers, stunning models, and high-profile guest list, the show drew millions of viewers from all over the world.
Enter wokeness.
In 2018, the lingerie company jettisoned the uber sexiness that long defined its brand and adopted a more artsy approach to stand in solidarity with the #metoo movement.
Then in 2021, Victorias Secret replaced the iconic angels with a group of varied models and influencers to show their commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
Last year, the fashion show was replaced with a strange pseudo- documentary featuring little femininity but lots of diversity, including a Nigerian artist who recited poetry.
And now for the cherry on top. This year, the fashion show, which just returned after a six-year hiatus, included two transgender models.
