Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 Makeup-Free Models: Tyra & More

As the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show makes its long-awaited return to New York City on Tuesday, top models prepare to take the stage, including Gigi Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio, Taylor Hill, Paloma Elsesser and Devyn Garcia. While the spotlight is often on glamorous makeup and dramatic catwalk transformations, this year models were seen flaunting their natural beauty behind the scenes.

Among the models, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid and Alessandra Ambrosio were filmed backstage before makeup artists began their work, giving a rare glimpse of their makeup-free looks. They were joined by Josephine Skriver, Jessie Aina and others, all of whom flaunted bare skin and showed off their natural features before getting ready for the runway.

While Victoria’s Secret models will eventually be fully dressed for the runway, their makeup-free appearances behind the scenes signal a growing movement in the industry to highlight natural beauty. Whether on the street or behind the scenes at major fashion events, the no-makeup trend is gaining momentum and both top models and celebrities are opting for a more reserved look.

This candid no-makeup moment reflects a broader trend that’s gaining traction in the fashion world. Lately, actress Pamela Anderson, known for her iconic ’90s beauty looks, has been turning heads by attending fashion shows without makeup. During Paris Fashion Week, Anderson was spotted makeup-free at The Row, Isabel Marant and Victoria Beckham shows, attracting attention for her decision to forego cosmetics and embrace her natural beauty. She even spoke to WWD about her decision, saying it allowed her to “let her natural beauty shine through.”

After a six-year hiatus, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back. The 2024 spectacle will air live on Prime Video and on the brand’s YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels. Former Angels like Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio and Taylor Hill will walk the runway alongside new faces like Paloma Elsesser and Devyn Garcia. Cher, Tyla and Lisa from Blackpink are the musical guests of the evening.
