The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is officially underway.
Gigi Hadid and Barbara Palvin were among the models undergoing hair and makeup backstage as they prepared to hit the runway.
The fashion show was canceled in 2019 after dealing with bad ratings and a whole slew of wild controversies, and has since made an effort to become more inclusive.
Now, following a five year hiatus, the models are back and gearing up to showcase the latest range of lingerie being offered by the brand.
Gigi, 29, wore the brand’s iconic pink stripe robe and bra as she underwent hair and makeup backstage.
