Marie Claire’s Oct. 18 live report covers the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, and previews its models, performers and ways to watch. The report names returning Angels and says Megan Thee Stallion will also walk; it does not provide a completed rundown of the show’s runway moments.
Marie Claire published live coverage of the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 18, previewing a Los Angeles runway event featuring returning models and musical performers. The report says Megan Thee Stallion was set to perform and walk, while the show was scheduled to be streamed on Victoria’s Secret’s social channels.
The report marks a change of venue from the 2025 show in New York City: Los Angeles is hosting the event, which Marie Claire describes as the brand’s first show in the city since 2007. The publication’s live blog says its editors would report from the venue and online, sharing fashion coverage and backstage content. The material supplied includes pre-show information and earlier live-blog entries, but not a full account of the completed runway show.
Among the models identified as returning are Gigi Hadid, Anok Yai, Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, Elsa Hosk, Imaan Hammam, Alex Consani, Liu Wen, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio. Marie Claire says Ambrosio is marking her 20th Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The report also describes a casting-call winner as mysterious, without naming that person in the provided material.
Victoria’s Secret announced the performers in late September, according to Marie Claire: Tate McRae, Megan Moroney, KATSEYE and Megan Thee Stallion. The report quotes Megan Thee Stallion saying she would get her wings and walk. The show was scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET, with a pink carpet around 5:30 p.m. ET and an official pre-show hosted by Scott Evans and Zanna Rassi at 7 p.m. ET.
Viewers could watch official livestreams on the brand’s YouTube, Instagram and TikTok accounts, the article said. It also listed screenings at select AMC theaters, including locations in Chicago, Houston and Miami, and described Marie Claire’s planned social-media and backstage coverage.
A Los Angeles Return for the Show
The move to Los Angeles gives the 2026 edition a different setting from the prior year’s New York event and brings the runway show back to a city Marie Claire associates with the brand’s celebrity and entertainment image. The location, model roster and performer bookings show how the company is presenting the event as both a fashion show and a live entertainment broadcast.
The report also puts the event within the brand’s post-hiatus period. Victoria’s Secret paused the show in 2019 and later reworked its public presentation; Marie Claire calls this the company’s third show since that hiatus. The live coverage offers readers a way to follow the spectacle across digital platforms, while the theater screenings extend viewing beyond the brand’s own channels. The source does not establish how audiences responded or whether the event met commercial goals.

From the 2025 Runway to Los Angeles
Marie Claire contrasts this year’s planned event with the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which it says took place in New York. Its recap of that show highlighted a range of models and public figures, including Jasmine Tookes, Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser, Precious Lee and Alex Consani. The publication’s senior fashion news editor, Halie LeSavage, praised the prior show’s representation of models across sizes.
That earlier assessment is Marie Claire’s editorial view, not an independent measure of the 2026 show. The supplied 2026 report indicates that several models from the earlier runway were expected back, but does not yet give a detailed review of the new show’s casting across the full event or describe its completed looks and performances.
“Tune in on October 18 to see me get my wings.”
— Megan Thee Stallion, as quoted in Marie Claire’s report
Runway Details Still Pending
The supplied live-blog material does not confirm the show’s final sequence, the outfits and wings that appeared, or how each performer’s segment unfolded. Although Marie Claire says the event was scheduled for Oct. 18, the source excerpt does not confirm whether it proceeded exactly as planned or provide a completed-show recap.
The report also does not identify the casting-call winner, give audience figures, or provide results from the theater screenings. Its description of the show as a major fashion-and-entertainment event reflects the publication’s framing; no independent measure of its cultural or commercial impact is included.
Full Runway Coverage to Follow
Marie Claire said it would continue posting live reactions and fashion moments during the show, with further coverage on its Instagram and TikTok accounts. The publication also directed readers to return the following day for its coverage of the after-party outfits. A fuller assessment of the runway’s looks, performances and casting would require that completed coverage or other confirmed reporting.
For viewers following the event, the listed options were Victoria’s Secret’s official social livestreams and screenings at select AMC theaters. The source gives the scheduled start times but does not say whether the broadcast schedule or theater availability changed.
