The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back with a bang, but people are asking why did it go away in the first place; here’s the reason

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has returned back. Following the cancellation of the 2019 show due to controversy and dwindling viewership, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is making a comeback on Tuesday for the first time in five years.

As viewers saw some of the biggest names in modelling, including Tyra Banks, Gisele Bündchen, and Naomi Campbell, walk down the runway wearing the brand’s iconic lingerie and angel wings, the runway show turned into a classic in the 2000s, as quoted in a report by the Today.

However, the Me Too movement in the late 2010s caused consumers to criticize the brand and the presentation, which resulted in the runway show receiving its lowest-ever viewership in 2018.

After years of utilizing more models and body-positive messaging in their advertisements, Victoria’s Secret announced in May that the fashion show would return, as reported by Today.
