Cher to perform at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show as iconic runway event returns after 6-year hiatus

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is making a grand return this October, and it’s set to be more spectacular than ever with legendary pop icon Cher perfoming at the event, as reported by People.

The announcement marks a significant comeback for the fashion show, which has been on hiatus since 2018.

Iconic pop star Cher returns to spotlight for high-profile event

In a recent Instagram post, Victoria’s Secret excitedly revealed Cher, 78, as their headline performer. "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! We’re beyond excited to announce she will officially be performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024. But she won’t be alone...stay tuned, more announcements are coming to round out our first-ever, all-women lineup. #VSFashionShow," the brand shared.

Cher’s performance will kick off the show on October 15 in Brooklyn, NY, and will be part of an all-women lineup, with more names set to be announced soon. The fashion show will also feature some of the brand’s most prominent models, including Gigi Hadid, Tyra Banks, and Paloma Elsesser.

Victoria’s Secret first announced the return of the show in May, promising to blend classic elements with a contemporary twist. "We’ve read the comments and heard you. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is BACK and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more! Stay tuned…it only gets more iconic from here," the brand stated.

A new chapter for Victoria’s Secret

The fashion show’s return follows a notable shift in 2019 when Victoria’s Secret canceled the annual event amidst criticism over its lack of inclusivity.

Last year, the brand hosted 'The Tour,' a global fashion show streamed online with models including Adriana Lima, Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber, but many fans missed the traditional runway experience with its signature wings.

This year’s show aims to address past criticisms and deliver a more inclusive and modern spectacle.

A Victoria’s Secret representative shared earlier this year, “The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will deliver precisely what our customers have been asking for — the glamour, runway, fashion, fun, wings, entertainment — all through a powerful, modern lens reflecting who we are today." The rep added. “We're thrilled to share a women-led articulation of this iconic property later this year!”

Cher’s headlining spot at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show sparks excitement online

"Love Cher. She needed to be a Super Bowl headliner," one fan wrote, expressing excitement over Cher’s involvement. Another user suggested, "She should be a model here as well."

Fans are eagerly awaiting the event, with one user declaring, "It’s happening. We’ve waited decades for this." Many are also hoping for more from Cher in the future, with one comment reading, "She needs to go back on tour or at least a residency!! I want my chance to see CHER!"

With the show set for October, excitement is building over Cher’s performance and wardrobe choices. "Can’t wait to see what she will wear," one user noted, while another simply stated, "Hell yeah!!! Looks like I’ll be watching this year."
