Gisele Bundchen Surprises Fans with Cameo at 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

When it comes to modeling for Victoria’s Secret, Gisele Bündchen essentially set the standard.

Although the legendary model didn’t walk the runway at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, she did make a surprise pre-recorded appearance in lingerie.

“Are you ready for the show?” she asked in the unexpected clip that aired just before Bella Hadid kicked off the star-studded catwalk.

True to her Angel roots, Bündchen relaxed in a pink lace bra and matching panties, topped with one of the label’s signature pink-and-white striped silk robes — the classic backstage look fans associate with the annual show.

She popped up again on screen at the finale, munching popcorn and hinting at a possible new partnership with the famed brand.

“Wasn’t that amazing? You’re gonna be seeing more of me real soon,” the Brazilian supermodel said, flashing a wink to the camera.

Bündchen first appeared for Victoria’s Secret in 1999 and a year later inked a record-setting $25 million deal with the company.

She remained a mainstay on the brand’s runways for the following six years, even wearing the “Red Hot Fantasy Bra” in 2000.

Worth $15 million at the time, it was the priciest Fantasy Bra ever — a title that was eclipsed this year when Kylie Jenner strutted out in a $50 million, diamond-encrusted piece by Jacob & Co.

It’s been two decades since Bündchen last walked a VS runway, although she did appear in a 2023 print campaign alongside fellow icons like Naomi Campbell and Adriana Lima.

And in January 2026, Hailey Bieber recreated one of the Brazilian model’s most memorable campaigns.

The show this year came just one day after Bündchen was photographed leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach on crutches and wearing a medical boot.

Given the tease in her cameo, there’s a good chance we’ll see her in another Victoria’s Secret campaign once she’s healed and back on her feet.

Or maybe she’ll be invited to don a pair of wings again.
