When it comes to Victoria’s Secret modeling, Gisele Bündchen remains the ultimate blueprint.
Although the iconic model did not walk in this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, she still made a memorable appearance in a pre-taped cameo, dressed in lingerie.
“Are you ready for the show?” Bündchen asked in the surprise video, which aired just before Bella Hadid opened the star-studded runway event.
In true Victoria’s Secret Angel style, Bündchen reclined in a pink lace bra and panties beneath one of the brand’s signature pink-and-white striped silk robes, a familiar backstage staple from the annual lingerie shows.
She appeared again at the show’s conclusion, snacking on popcorn while hinting that a new collaboration with the iconic label could be on the way.
“Wasn’t that amazing? You’re gonna be seeing more of me real soon,” the Brazilian star said with a playful wink to the camera.
Bündchen made her Victoria’s Secret debut in 1999, before signing a record-setting $25 million contract with the brand the following year.

She became a mainstay on the label’s runway for the next six years and famously modeled the “Red Hot Fantasy Bra” in 2000.
The bra was valued at $15 million, making it the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever—until tonight, when Kylie Jenner walked the runway in a $50 million diamond-covered design by Jacob & Co.
Bündchen has not walked in a Victoria’s Secret runway show for 20 years, though she reunited with fellow icons Naomi Campbell and Adriana Lima for a print campaign in 2023.
Then, in January 2026, Hailey Bieber recreated one of the Brazilian model’s most iconic campaigns.
This year’s show took place just one day after Bündchen was seen leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach on crutches and wearing a medical boot.
Given the hint in her cameo, fans may soon see Bündchen fronting another Victoria’s Secret campaign once she is back on her feet.
Or perhaps she’ll simply grow some wings.
