Kate Moss and Laila Moss to Co-star for First Time in 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Kate Moss and Laila Moss earned their Victoria's Secret Fashion Show wings on the same night.
In one of the best moments of the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, two generations of Moss supermodels appeared on the pink-toned runway in succession. First up was Laila Moss, 22, in a blush pink bra and string bikini bottom set. Her two-piece was accessorized with a metallic body chain and matching wraparound sandal heels, as well as a giant muppet-like fringe jacket in the same mauve pink.
Lila Moss' Victoria's Secret wings were not exactly wings. Instead, the model had “Lila” and “VS” written in acrylic writing, with a star and heart motif scribbled on either end. The decorations seemed a bit like something an aspiring model might draw in a notebook before making it big. Come to think of it...
As “I Love Rock 'N Roll” played over the speakers, fashion legend Kate Moss, 50, took the stage to cheers from the crowd. She embodied the punk rock goddess in a black lace-coated look. A naked dress with a hip-high slit covered a black bra and panty set, with coordinating black tulle wings on her shoulders.
Kate Moss took to the runway with oversized hoop earrings, strappy black heels, and a strut that eclipsed the original Victoria's Secret Fashion Show models. Audiences wondered why she was not used from the beginning when she did her global fashion takeover in the 1990s.
Kate and Laila Moss' Victoria's Secret fashion show debut together says a lot about the brand's current direction (and the casting director's skill) After a five-year hiatus, Victoria's Secret has tried to be more inclusive in several ways: not only did it feature plus-size models like Ashley Graham and trans models like Valentina Sampaio for the first time, it also emphasized that it is age-neutral. The show also featured other experienced models such as Carla Bruni (59) and Tyra Banks (50).
The show seemed to say that this mother-daughter duo may be 30 years apart, but they both belong on the same runway, wearing the looks that made them feel most confident.
