Hype Hair Celebrating Our Radiant Angels at the 2025 Victoria Secret Show

The lights were bright. The music was loud. The 2025 Victoria Secret Show did not just bring the glam. It also brought the representation we have all been craving. This year’s show was more than glitter and wings. It was a celebration of radiant angels, especially those representing Black and Brown beauty, grace, and power.

There was something deeply moving about seeing models who looked like us. Their skin tones rich and glowing. Their curls full and free. Their walks full of pride. It was more than just fashion. It was affirmation.

The presence of Black and Brown models on the Victoria Secret runway has always felt like a meaningful step forward. But this year, it felt intentional, celebrated, and beautifully done. Their appearances were not just sprinkled in. They were central. They were celebrated.

From the moment the show opened, you could feel the energy shift. The lineup was inclusive and stunning, with models of color owning the runway with grace and fire. It was a joy to watch, not just because they looked amazing, but because they belonged there completely.

For the Black and Brown women tuning in, this was personal. It felt like finally seeing a piece of ourselves on one of the biggest stages in fashion. No longer pushed to the sidelines or added as a last-minute thought. But featured. Highlighted. Celebrated.

It reminded us that beauty comes in every shade and that it is not only okay to take up space, it is necessary. These women walked not just for themselves, but for every girl who ever wondered if she was enough. For every curl, every stretch mark, every scar that never got love from magazines growing up.

These radiant angels brought more than presence. They brought power. Their walks were strong. Their styling honored their heritage. From textured hair that was shaped and defined to makeup that enhanced and glowed on melanin-rich skin, everything felt like a celebration of identity, not an erasure of it.

There were no attempts to fit into one beauty mold. Instead, the runway felt like a mirror of the world. A place where uniqueness was the standard and confidence came from being exactly who you are.

Honestly, everything. But most of all, we loved the joy. The smiles that felt real. The pride that could not be contained. And the message that rang louder than any soundtrack, that Black and Brown beauty is not a trend. It is timeless. It is necessary. It is breathtaking.

We saw wings that matched every skin tone. We saw lighting that celebrated instead of washing out. We saw models owning their walks without apology. And that made all the difference.
