Angels have their wings again.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returns Tuesday night in New York City after a five-year hiatus.
The annual runway show, which debuted in 1995, was canceled in 2019 amid a series of scandals and backlash from critics who slammed the underwear brand for a lack of diversity and inclusion.
Edward Razek, the former chief marketing officer of former Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands, who stepped down in 2019, sparked controversy in an interview with Vogue when he dismissed ideas of integrating inclusion into the runway show “because the show is a fantasy”.
He was later accused of harassment and perpetuating a “culture of misogyny, bullying and harassment” at the company.
In May, Victoria’s Secret announced that the runway show was returning and “will reflect who we are today.”
“We read the reviews and we heard you,” the brand said, adding that this year’s show will include “glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment and more!”
