Most Heinous Near-Nude Looks From Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Pink Carpet
Stars and influencers pulled off some daring, barely-there looks.

If the pink carpet at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn is any indication, skin is in.
The lingerie brand’s fashion show is back for a second year, and ahead of the main event, which saw supermodels including Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid donning their wings on the catwalk, the pink carpet was brimming with skin.
The A-list star power at the event was slightly dimmer than usual, apart from appearances from Sarah Jessica Parker, Helena Christensen, and Chloë Sevigny. That left other influencers scratching for the spotlight in barely-there looks and lingerie.
Here’s our guide to who scratched heads—and who blew minds—on the pink carpet.
Ciara Miller
Reality-famous from Bravo’s Summer House, Ciara’s baffling almost-an-outfit was part-travel pillow, part-teeny weeny bikini and part-prophylactic.

You’ve heard of a fanny pack; here, the influencer models the boob clutch.

Eva Gutowski
Not quite sure what the YouTuber was going for here, apart from showing she has a gym membership. The ultra-low riding jeans and cut-out channel classic Britney, and the cut-out top is a choice. However, the random thing on her head is a dank gym towel meets Little House on the Prairie.

Jordan Roth
The Broadway producer is no stranger to the red carpet; this comfortable selection looked like it was both runway-ready and bedroom-ready.

Lyas Medini
The French content creator attempts to be très ironique with a tatty T-shirt listing how to sneak into a fashion show. C’est nul.

The Argentinian model gives us the Walmart version of 1990s Kate Moss.

June Ambrose
We feel pity for anyone sitting behind the costume designer during the parade.

Chloë Sevigny
What was that Absolutely Fabulous quote about a dress so small you made the world your gynecologist?

Emira D’Spain
Feather and lace. They say hair metal is coming back, the model and influencer looks like she’s in a Mötley Crüe video from 1985. This probably should have been left on the Sunset Strip.

But who rocked the pink carpet?
Madison Beer
Not only did the “Make You Mine” singer perform at the swish event, on the pink carpet, she was the walking billboard of the brand, trying to return to their unapologetically sexy history after years of drama, including workplace harassment scandals and even links to Jeffrey Epstein. This is a better distraction from Epstein than even Trump could pull off.

Helena Christensen
Perfection. No notes.

Sarah Jessica Parker
A genuine fashion icon, fresh from disappointing millions with the dire ending of And Just Like That. While all around her bare all, SJP runs her own race, in her favorite stomping ground.
