Victoria's Secret is taking its famous Fashion Show to Los Angeles for 2026, promising a 'bigger and bolder' production featuring an all-female musical lineup of Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Moroney, Tate McRae and KATSEYE.
The four acts will perform when the lingerie giant brings its runway spectacle to the West Coast on 18 October, following two consecutive years of shows in New York. The move marks a major change of setting, with Victoria's Secret & PINK Chief Creative Officer Adam Selman saying the brand needed a larger space to realise this year's plans.
Selman has dubbed the 2026 production 'Fandemonium', describing it as an opportunity to explore a different side of Americana and the idea of the American dream.
A 'Bigger and Bolder' Production
The decision to relocate the Fashion Show from New York to Los Angeles was not simply about changing the backdrop.
Selman told PEOPLE: 'I wanted this to be bigger and bolder than last year, and we couldn't find a space in New York that could house all the things that we wanted to do.'
That ambition is reflected in the scale of the 2026 event, which Victoria's Secret is positioning as a major fashion and entertainment production rather than simply a runway presentation.
The Los Angeles setting also allows the brand to explore what Selman described as a different side of Americana. His 'Fandemonium' concept is intended to capture the energy surrounding the show while connecting it with the fans who continue to follow the Victoria's Secret runway.
The brand has also confirmed that the event will stream live globally, giving viewers outside Los Angeles the opportunity to watch the show as it happens.
Meet the All-Female Music Lineup
The 2026 musical lineup brings together four artists from distinctly different corners of the music industry.
Megan Thee Stallion will bring her hip-hop presence to the runway, while Tate McRae will represent contemporary pop. Megan Moroney adds a country music influence, while KATSEYE brings a global girl-group dynamic to the event.
The announcement continues Victoria's Secret's recent commitment to all-female musical lineups. The 2025 show featured Missy Elliott, Madison Beer, Karol G and K-pop group TWICE.
The varied lineup also gives the show a strong crossover appeal, bringing together audiences from pop, rap, country and global music.
For a fashion event built around spectacle, the performers are likely to be an important part of the visual identity of the evening, with each act bringing a different aesthetic and performance style to the runway.
A New Angel Will Join the Show
Music is not the only major element of the 2026 Fashion Show. Victoria's Secret has also launched a nationwide search for a new Angel, turning the casting process into part of the build-up to the event.
Selman travelled across the United States to hold open casting calls, with the search documented through the Angels Among Us docuseries.
The project allows aspiring models to compete for a place on the Victoria's Secret runway, with the eventual winner expected to walk at the Los Angeles show on 18 October. The official Victoria's Secret platform confirms that new episodes of the docuseries are being released ahead of the Fashion Show.
The casting search was partly inspired by the reaction to the 2025 show. Selman said he received thousands of messages from people asking how they could become an Angel.
'I got thousands of DMs last year after the show of like, 'I want to be an Angel. How do I become an Angel?' he said.
He added the response showed him that fans feel a personal connection with the brand.
'Everyone's got a unique story and connection to Victoria's Secret,' Selman explained, adding that hearing directly from fans was meaningful and has informed the brand's wider approach.
Gigi Hadid and Alex Consani Among Confirmed Models
The new Angel will join a growing cast of established and emerging models on the Los Angeles runway.
Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham and Alex Consani are among the models confirmed to appear, with the official Victoria's Secret platform continuing to announce additional names. Paloma Elsesser and Anok Yai have also been reported as part of the 2026 cast.
Their presence gives the show another connection to Victoria's Secret's fashion heritage while the new casting initiative introduces an element of discovery. Rather than relying solely on familiar runway names, the brand is using the build-up to the show to involve aspiring models and fans directly in the process.
When Is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?
The 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will take place in Los Angeles on Sunday, 18 October.
It will stream live globally on YouTube from 4.30 p.m. Pacific Time, which is 7.30 p.m. Eastern Time, with Victoria's Secret also making the event available through its social media channels.
The brand is also expanding the viewing experience beyond online streaming for the first time, with the official Victoria's Secret press room confirming a live screening at 10 selected AMC theatres in the US.
With Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Moroney, Tate McRae and KATSEYE providing the soundtrack, established models returning to the runway and a new Angel still to be crowned, the 2026 show is shaping up around Selman's promise of something 'bigger and bolder'.
And with Los Angeles replacing New York as the setting, Victoria's Secret is giving its latest Fashion Show a distinctly different backdrop—while putting its fans, performers and models at the heart of its 'Fandemonium' vision.
