They’re bringing sexy back. Because no one really wanted it to go away.
In May, Victoria’s Secret announced its once-coveted show fashion show lingerie extravaganza “Will come back and reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love – glamour, runways, wings, musical entertainment, and more!”
But who they are today is essentially what they were during the heyday of their hotness, with a slight expansion of their approach to beauty.
Last night’s Panty Parade aired live on Amazon Prime, featuring familiar faces, veterans who wore the famous wings before it was canceled in 2019.
Celestials like Tyra Banks, Gigi Hadid, Mayova Nichols, Barbara Palvin, Behati Prinsloo, Jasmine Tookes and more Adriana Lima,
Gorgeous plus-size mannequins are Paloma Elessar and Ashley Graham, who said she agreed to walk because the brand plans to add larger sizes.

Rezak was later threatened by trans models and forced to surrender. “I apologize. Frankly, we will definitely cast a transgender model for the show,” she said, before resigning in 2019.
The once dominant brand giant has thrown itself into cultural purgatory and attempted to rebrand in 2021 as a vehicle for women’s empowerment.
She formed the very official-sounding, VS Collective, a group of seven women, many of them non-models, who were tasked with bringing about “positive change” instead of tickling.

In a New York Times article unveiling her new initiative, Rapinoe described the company as “patriarchal, sexist, not just about what it means to be sexy, but also about looking at clothing through a male lens and what men want. “And it was marketed very much to young women.”
He said it was “really harmful”.
But it turns out, a gay activist’s “harmfulness” is totally amazing to people.
Last year, he returned to the show with #thetour, a collection of bizarre film vignettes featuring a series of models in scruffy clothes. It was neither attractive nor aspirational.

After all, the embrace of sexuality before #metoo didn’t go away, it simply moved to OnlyFans Instagram or, as happened last spring, SNL when Hosted by Sydney Sweeney and her breasts,
