Flashy, unapologetic, and dripping with rhinestones, the Victoria’s Secret show is a glittering parade of barely-there lace, sculpted physiques and the top model status. The spectacle is equal parts dream and excess, acting as a stage for fashion-fuelled fantasy to come to life. In short, no granny pants to be seen here.

Following a six-year-long hiatus, the highly-anticipated bash returned to the style sphere with a bang, welcoming swathes of celebrities and influencers alike through its jewel-encrusted doors on Tuesday night.
