“The search begins,” reads an ominous photo posted to Victoria’s Secret’s Instagram on April 2nd—thank god April Fools’ Day is over, this is no joke. The American lingerie label is virtually opening the runway to the public in search of a new potential bombshell for the infamous Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

For those who’ve always dreamed of wearing the iconic wings, applications open on Monday, April 6th. In addition to earning a contract with the brand, the winning angel will also be signed to IMG Models, a world-leading modeling agency, whose New York headquarters is home to numerous renowned supermodels, including the Hadid sisters, Hailey Bieber, and VMAN cover star Jeremy Pope. So next Monday, all across America, angels will send in their virtual castings, in hopes of snagging a contract and walking this year’s notorious runway.

The annual runway is like no other. Marked by its nostalgic blowouts, celebrity runway appearances, and musical performances, last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was a return to its OG ways. With Adam Selman as the brand’s new Creative Director, the beloved 2000s show experienced both a revival and a renewal. And this year, YOU could be the 2026 runway’s hottest new addition.
