Jasmine Tookes didn’t let being nearly nine months pregnant deter her from opening the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old, who is expecting her second child, graced the runway looking ethereal as she proudly displayed her prominent baby bump at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York.
Jasmine is no stranger to the Victoria’s Secret runway, having walked in every show for the iconic lingerie brand from 2012 to 2018, including its reimagined return in 2024.
Defying the challenge of wearing stilettos, Tookes wore a nude bodysuit beneath a beaded fishnet midi-dress, complemented by a matching shell-shaped wire frame on her back.
She cleverly concealed the shoulder straps with her long, sleek raven hair, which was styled in a center part, for the Prime Video broadcast of the fashion spectacle.
Jasmine was joined on the confetti-strewn catwalk by her fellow ‘Angels’ Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Joan Smalls, Bella Hadid, Angel Reese, Alex Consani, Gigi Hadid, Yasmin Wijnaldum, and Alessandra Ambrosio.

Tookes – who boasts 9.4M social media followers – reacted to the moment via Instastory: ‘I’m crying!’
Make-up artist Pat McGrath brought out the Orange County bombshell’s natural beauty and bone structure backstage before the show.
In early September, Jasmine confirmed that she only had ‘a couple more months to go’ before she welcomes a baby brother for her two-year-old daughter Mia Victoria Borrero.
‘I think this second time around is a little bit harder just because I do have a toddler,’ Tookes confessed to People.
‘It’s going to be such a special moment. My husband’s family is going to come into town for two to three months, so it’ll be nice to have that support along with my mom and my family. It’ll be a full house over here at the Tookes-Borrero household, which I’m just so excited about.’
The JOJA co-founder and her husband of four years – Airbnb exec Juan David Borrero – originally met at a Venice Beach restaurant in 2016 after being introduced by Miranda Kerr and her husband Evan Spiegel.
Jasmine walked her first-ever Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2012, but she didn’t officially earn her ‘wings’ until 2015.
