Cher to Headline Historic All-Women Lineup
Cher will perform at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, marking a significant milestone as the event features its first-ever all-women lineup of performers. This highly anticipated show is set to return on October 15 after a six-year hiatus, bringing renewed excitement and a commitment to inclusivity.
A Shift Towards Inclusivity
The Victoria’s Secret brand has faced criticism in the past for its lack of inclusivity and comments made by former executive Ed Razek, who stated that the brand would never cast a trans woman. Since then, the company has undergone a rebranding, embracing diversity by including trans and plus-size models in its campaigns, a move that reflects changing societal values and expectations.
Exciting Performer Lineup Announced
On September 18, Victoria’s Secret revealed the performers for the upcoming show, stating, “It’s a woman’s world, so it’s understood that you can’t have a fashion show without the mother of fashion herself—@Cher!” Alongside Cher, the lineup includes Tyla and Lisa from Blackpink, both of whom are set to add their unique flair to the event, ensuring a memorable night filled with music and celebration.
Commitment to Glamour and Modernity
A spokesperson for Victoria’s Secret emphasized that this year’s fashion show aims to deliver precisely what customers have been asking for—glamour, runway, fashion, fun, and entertainment—all through a powerful, modern lens that reflects who we are today. This statement highlights the brand’s dedication to evolving with its audience and addressing previous shortcomings.
Model Lineup Still Under Wraps
While the complete model lineup for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 has not yet been fully disclosed, some familiar faces are confirmed to return. Gigi Hadid and Tyra Banks, both renowned for their previous work with the brand, will walk the runway. Additionally, models such as Imaan Hammam, Candice Swanepoel, Grace Elizabeth, and others are reported to participate, promising a diverse and dynamic showcase.
Casting Event Highlights Diversity
The casting event, held on August 28, saw a variety of models, including Aviana Mcclish and Emme Metry, who use gender-neutral pronouns. Transgender model Cameryn Ruby was also spotted, reflecting the show’s commitment to inclusivity. Other models like Kiana Carroll, Lilia Butler, and Fletcher were photographed, but the final selections are still to be announced, adding an element of anticipation to the upcoming show.
Looking Forward to an Unforgettable Show
With Cher leading the charge and a lineup of diverse performers and models, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 promises to be a groundbreaking event. As the brand steps into a new era, fans eagerly await the glamour, creativity, and representation that will take center stage on October 15.
