First look at Gigi Hadid as models prepare backstage for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has officially started.

Gigi Hadid and Barbara Palvin were among the models who received backstage hair and makeup treatments as they prepared to hit the runway.

The fashion show was canceled in 2019 after poor ratings and a slew of wild controversies, and has since made an effort to become more inclusive.

Now, after a five-year hiatus, the models are back and getting ready to present the brand’s latest range of lingerie.

Gigi, 29, wore the brand’s iconic pink striped robe and bra as she underwent hair and makeup backstage.

The catwalk queen, who has previously walked the VS catwalk, was in good spirits as her glam team applied make-up to her face and touched up her hair.

Meanwhile, Barbara was in hair and makeup, wearing a bra and bathrobe. Her locks were pulled back as she prepared for her glam routine.

Other famous faces included Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel.

Adriana, who has walked on countless USA runways, sat backstage with her hair in a sleek ponytail.
