The return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: What does it mean for us today?
This year, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show made its long-awaited return after some time off the radar, and we can't help but wonder: what does this show mean today, for us, real, diverse, and authentic women?
At its peak, the show was synonymous with glamour, fantasy, and bodies that seemed unattainable for most of us. We'd gather in front of the TV, and as we admired the models strutting around in angel wings, silent comparisons also arose. We wondered if our bodies were thin, toned, or "perfect" enough by those standards.
But today, after so many conversations about self-esteem, inclusion, and the acceptance of diversity in the fashion world, we find ourselves at a new vantage point. The return of this show gives us the opportunity to reflect not only on the fashion industry but also on how we have evolved as women.
It's no longer just about seeing sculpted bodies under the stage lights. The dialogue has changed. We ask ourselves: where is the real diversity in these fashion shows? And I'm not just talking about size, but about the representation of women from different backgrounds, ages, colors, shapes, and experiences. We want to see women on the runway who are more like us, women who don't fit into a limited definition of beauty, but rather expand it.
Today, more than ever, we are rediscovering what it means to feel comfortable in our own skin, with our imperfections, our curves, our scars. We have realized that true beauty lies not in an unattainable ideal, but in the confidence with which we move, in the acceptance of who we are.
Has the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, in its return, learned these lessons? Does it reflect this new reality that we, as women, are part of? It's an important question because times have changed, and with them, our expectations.
This fashion show must evolve with us, showing that the world of fashion can also be a space where we all feel represented, admired, and valued. We no longer need to see perfect angels; we need to see real women, like you and me, celebrating their beauty from an authentic place.
In the end, the show might be entertaining, but what truly matters is how we feel watching it. If we look at that runway and feel powerful, valuable, and unique, then we've gained something more important than any fashion show: we've gained the certainty that beauty is ours, in all our forms and versions.
