On October 18, the Victoria's Secret 2026 show took place in California, becoming one of the most discussed fashion events of the season. Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Bryant, Dylan Sprouse, and Patrick Schwarzenegger gathered on the pink carpet and front row, alongside a number of singers and models who took to the runway. Stars posed in corsets, sheer dresses, and feather-adorned outfits, while the front row seated the families of the show participants. A review of the guests' and participants' looks was prepared by the lifestyle project Wave RBC.UA.
Business Classics and Personal Stories in the Front Row
Nicole Kidman chose a reinvented business look: a white shirt, striped tie, and black pencil skirt with details reminiscent of a garter belt, with a burgundy Chanel clutch adding a pop of color. Sitting next to her was Vanessa Bryant in a navy blue dress with white lace trim — the evening was especially meaningful for her as her daughter Natalia made her Victoria's Secret runway debut. Dylan Sprouse arrived in a dark gray suit, open-collared white shirt, and loafers, supporting his wife Barbara Palvin, who walked the runway six weeks after giving birth to their first child; ahead of the show, he spoke about the model's rigorous preparation for her return. Patrick Schwarzenegger attended the event with his mother Maria Shriver: both opted for black, with the actor wearing a suit paired with a white t-shirt, and Maria sporting a jacket with multicolored floral embroidery.
Lisa Rinna’s Theatrical Look
One of the most theatrical outfits of the evening was Lisa Rinna's ensemble. She paired a voluminous pink tutu skirt and corseted top with a short brown jacket featuring dramatic shoulders, with the centerpiece being a tiny hat adorned with a long, curved feather. Red pointed-toe pumps completed the composition, adding contrast and rounding out the tutu's ballet aesthetic.
Feathers, Lace, and Corsets on the Runway and Carpet
Among the artists, Megan stood out in a long sheer dress with a deep neckline and dense, shimmering embellishments: a voluminous fuchsia feather cape draped from her arm to form a train, complemented by large blonde waves in her hair. Tate McRae appeared in a black set featuring butterflies — one adorning the bra, another the belt of a low-rise skirt with a high slit — with the luminous outfit enhanced by Jacob & Co. earrings and bracelet. Tinashe's white look combined a short tulle tutu skirt, a top, and a fitted jacket where longer side details added volume, while thin chains adorned her exposed waist.
Lingerie Aesthetics in Group Shots
Four band members posed together in various dresses: one frame brought together leopard print, burgundy draping, silver bow-shaped detailing, and black attire with a deep neckline. Individual artists directly nodded to the show's lingerie theme — one wore a pink corset minidress with lace, prominent vertical seams, and front fasteners, accentuating her cleavage with a multi-strand necklace, while a country singer chose a burgundy minidress with a large waist cutout, where a row of beads created draping and an uneven hem, with silver strappy ankle sandals adding sparkle. Thus, the Victoria's Secret 2026 show united business classics, ballet theatricality, and explicit lingerie styling into a single evening story.
