The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show wasn’t just a runway comeback — it was a full-blown cultural moment. And when the last angel strutted off the catwalk, the night was far from over.
The celebration continued in dazzling fashion at the Crane Club, a sleek and exclusive steakhouse tucked in New York City’s Meatpacking District — where the elite gathered to toast a new era of Victoria’s Secret glamour.
From supermodels in sultry after-hours looks to Hollywood stars fresh off major headlines, the red carpet turned into a fashion event all its own.
Alessandra Ambrosio Brings Back the Angel Energy
Even without her iconic wings, Alessandra Ambrosio was the picture of effortless allure.
The Brazilian bombshell rocked a bold black leather jacket thrown over black lingerie — a nod to her VS legacy — paired with silky white shorts that flashed her famous runway legs.
Ambrosio’s confident energy reminded everyone why she remains one of Victoria’s Secret’s most unforgettable faces.
Nina Dobrev Steps Out — Post Breakup, New Rumors
Nina Dobrev also turned heads as she arrived solo, just weeks after reports confirmed her split from five-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White.
The Vampire Diaries star looked radiant — and fans couldn’t help but notice the timing, especially after rumors swirled about a potential spark between Nina and Zac Efron, following their cozy yacht outing earlier this month.
Clad in sleek black satin with a thigh-high slit and minimal jewelry, Nina exuded confidence — the kind that says, “I’m thriving.”
“Nina’s glow-up era is real,” one fan commented online after photos hit social media.
Giancarlo Stanton Keeps It Cool After Yankees Exit
Baseball star Giancarlo Stanton made a surprise appearance at the after-party — just days after the New York Yankees’ playoff elimination.
The MLB slugger kept it low-key but stylish in a green patterned jacket, crisp white tee, and a felt cap. Despite his team’s tough loss, Stanton appeared relaxed and in good spirits — mingling with guests and posing for photos alongside top models.
“When you lose the playoffs but win the after-party,” joked one fan on X.
Models Take Over the Night
The night belonged to fashion — and Victoria’s Secret’s top models did not disappoint.
Candice Swanepoel, Joan Smalls, and Stella Maxwell all arrived dripping in designer glam, showcasing the show’s signature mix of lingerie elegance and high-fashion edge.
Candice stunned in a sheer silver gown that caught every flash of the paparazzi’s cameras, while Joan turned heads in a daring crimson slip dress. Stella brought punk chic energy, pairing leather boots with a sparkling corset top.
Inside, the vibe was pure celebration — champagne flowed, the DJ kept the crowd moving, and the who’s-who of fashion, sports, and entertainment danced late into the night.
A Comeback for the Ages
This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show marked a massive return for the iconic brand, which has spent the past few years redefining its image with a modern, inclusive twist.
The 2025 show blended diversity, empowerment, and timeless sex appeal, drawing praise from both longtime fans and new audiences.
And the after-party? It was proof that the VS brand is officially back — bolder, fresher, and more star-studded than ever.
Social Media Reacts: “VS Is in Its Comeback Era”
By Thursday morning, clips and photos from the event had flooded Instagram and TikTok — racking up millions of views in hours.
“This is the old-school VS energy we missed!” one user posted.
“Candice, Alessandra, Nina — it’s giving ICONS,” another added.
Even celebrities who didn’t attend couldn’t resist chiming in, with influencers and fellow models reposting snaps from the night tagged #VSComeback and #VS2025AfterParty.
