The former Angel strutted in a glittering ice‑blue lingerie ensemble that included a lace bra, high‑waisted bottoms, crystal‑styled body chains, and sheer thigh‑high stockings with garter detailing. She completed the look with white feathered wings, loose blond waves, dangling earrings and a crystal necklace against a wintry backdrop.

For her second appearance she switched to a white lace bodysuit paired with an oversized, floor‑length furry coat, adding a dramatic contrast to the first look.

Background and previous runways

Rosie first walked for Victoria’s Secret in 2006 at age 19 and appeared in every show through 2010, the year she earned the official Angel title. The 39‑year‑old model reflected on her career in a British Vogue interview, expressing delight at returning to “the ultimate iconic American brand.”

She highlighted that her fitness regimen now centers on strength training, supplemented by Shani Darden facials, cold plunges and lymphatic drainage. She noted that approaching her 40th birthday, she feels grateful for her physique, especially after having two children.

Other notable returns and newcomers

This year’s show also features the return of Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, who have not walked the runway since 2018 and 2017 respectively. Newer faces such as Elsa Hosk, Gigi Hadid, Barbara Palvin, Natalia Bryant and Kylie Jenner also appear, with Jenner modeling the $50 million Fantasy Bra (read more).
