Lingerie stuff always seems vaguely French, so it kind of makes sense that the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is allegedly moving to Paris this year.
Their spot was blown up by Women’s Wear Daily today, which reported that they’d heard rumors of the move. It’s definitely less random than when the show was in London in 2014, because English culture really does not scream “lacey lingerie.”
It’s also been staged in cities including Miami, Los Angeles, and Cannes, France, WWD says.
With past performances from Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and the Weeknd, we’re still not sure who the big peformer will be. The show will likely take place in November or December.

Before understanding that she could work in fashion, Maria Braz already understood the power of an image. Music videos, movies, magazines, red carpets, shows. Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna. As a child and teenager, she watched, recreated, dressed up, invented characters, and turned her computer into a set for her own productions.
Fashion week, trend fatigue, relationship scheduling, accidental wellness, and the annual September identity crisis. Maybe nothing is wrong with us. Maybe we’ve just been online too long.
Fashion Week is happening, TikTok discovered something that already existed, Mary-Kate and Ashley left the house, and naturally, I have thoughts. Welcome to NOT THAT SERIOUS.
