Zara Larsson fans believe Victoria's Secret missed an opportunity by not booking the Swedish pop star for its 2026 Fashion Show, with some arguing she would have been the perfect performer for its glamorous runway. From her bombshell image to her energetic pop anthems, supporters believe Larsson could have brought exactly the kind of attitude and sparkle the lingerie brand is known for.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned on 18 October in Los Angeles, featuring performances from Megan Moroney, Tate McRae, KATSEYE and Megan Thee Stallion. While the all-female line-up delivered plenty of music and fashion moments, Larsson's fans are convinced the show missed out on an artist who could have fitted its aesthetic perfectly.

Fans Think Victoria's Secret Missed Out
Fans did not hold back when discussing Larsson's absence. 'Zara Larsson is so stunning omg. Victoria's Secret really fumbled by not getting her to perform at this year's fashion show,' one supporter wrote.
Others were even more convinced that the singer's style matched the brand, with one declaring: 'Zara Larsson should be in that Victoria's Secret show because she was literally the inspiration for that aesthetic.'
The discussion also turned towards the performers who did make the line-up, particularly country singer Megan Moroney. One critic wrote: 'Zara would have been Better than that country singer getting in the way of the model'.
Another supporter suggested Larsson's star power might have distracted from the lingerie itself, claiming: 'The only reason why victoria's secret don't book zara larsson for a performance is because she literally looks like a BOMBSHELL, better than today's models and has much more charisma. it'd be impossible to focus on models or lingerie✨'

Why Zara Larsson Fits the Aesthetic
Larsson has built a bold pop identity through colourful visuals, glamorous outfits and confident performances, making her an easy choice for fans imagining a Victoria's Secret appearance. Her Midnight Sun era, named after her 2025 album, has leaned into vibrant colours, summery styling and playful femininity.
Her music has already featured in the show, with 'Hot & Sexy' playing during the runway presentation. The track's upbeat sound fits the dramatic wings and lingerie-inspired looks, adding to fans' arguments that Larsson's own stage presence would have made her a strong addition to the line-up.
The floral-wing fantasy is particularly fitting given Victoria's Secret's history of elaborate angel wings and decorative runway designs. While there is no indication that Larsson inspired the show's creative direction, fans clearly see a connection between her glamorous image and the brand's signature aesthetic.
