Bella Hadid hailed as the ‘queen’ of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as she makes red hot return

Bella Hadid made a splashy surprise appearance on the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway on Tuesday evening.

The 28-year-old bombshell — who is dating cowboy Adan Banuelos — showed off her fit figure in a red bra and underwear, topped with a huge red fur coat.

Hadid, whose sister Gigi Hadid also walked in the comeback show, flashed her megawatt smile while storming the catwalk in strappy red heels.

She closed out the show, strutting as Cher performed her 1998 hit song Believe.

The VS show marks Bella’s second runway return after taking a two-year hiatus from modeling.

The beauty recently walked the Saint Laurent Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week.

It was her first runway appearance since October 2022. And she last walked for Victoria’s Secret in 2018, which was the brand’s last show.

Bella previously told Allure in late April, ‘After 10 years of modeling I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn’t necessarily giving it back to me.’

For Tuesday’s triumphant return, the supermodel wore her lustrous dark hair in a center part and ironed straight.

Upon seeing her hit the stage, fans flocked to social media to praise Bella’s homecoming.

‘Miss Bella Hadid, the people’s princess,’ one person wrote on X.

Hadid received a warm greeting from one fan who wrote online, ‘welcome back queen bella hadid.’

Another person gushed, ‘The pretty face, the beautiful red fur she’s carrying on her shoulders, the smile, & the red garments make her slay the Victoria’s Secret stage.’

Victoria’s Secret made its runway debut in 1995, with Tyra Banks taking to the stage wearing the first set of angel wings three years later.

Ed Razek, former chief marketing officer of VS’s parent company, L Brands, once described the catwalk show as a ‘fantasy,’ excluding transgender and plus-size models from the ’42-minute entertainment special.’

The controversial statement landed the brand in hot water, and led to Razek’s 2019 resignation and the cancellation of the show due to backlash and poor ratings.

Victoria’s Secret then pivoted to promote diversity by including larger models in subsequent campaigns.

Valentina Sampaio, the company’s first transgender model, was also hired to star in a VS Pink campaign after Razek’s exit.
