Jasmine Tookes Becomes The First Victoria's Secret Model to Walk 9 Months Pregnant

Lauren Schuster | October 16, 2025

The annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back again, this year with a new opening twist.

Victoria's Secret Angel Jasmine Tookes was chosen as the opening model to walk the runway while she is nine months pregnant.

Kicking off the show, Tookes strutted down the runway in a shiny nude bra and underwear set with a gold fishnet dress dripping in pearls layered on top.

On her back, similar to the way the angel wings are typically attached, Tookes carried a large gold wire framework of a clam shell, also dotted with pearls.

The ensemble seemed to be a reference to the famous painting "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli, likely meant to be an extra nod to the fact that she will soon give birth herself.

While other models have walked in the fashion show while pregnant in the past, none of them have been nine months pregnant, let alone been tasked with the pressure of opening the show while being so far along in their pregnancy.

Notably, Irina Shayk walked the show back in 2016 when she was five months along with her and Bradley Cooper's daughter Lea, but it was concealed from the viewers by outfits that partially covered her stomach.

Additionally, Candice Swanepoel opened the show in 2017 while pregnant, but she was very early in the first trimester and therefore not showing at all.

Tookes' opening walk while being so visibly pregnant marks a first for the brand, showcasing that pregnancy and motherhood are not excluded from the brand's signature image of being a sexy and confident woman.

Victoria's Secret and Tookes made a joint Instagram post featuring a video of her walk, and fans took to the comments to praise Tookes.

"Literally the BEST opening," one fan commented, followed by crying emojis.

"One of the most beautiful openings I've ever seen, if not the most beautiful," another fan added.

Tookes was also not the only woman making history at the show this year. Angel Reese became the first professional athlete to walk as a model in the show the very same night.

The 23-year-old WNBA star made her runway debut at the show, marking a first for both her and the brand.

"It’s such a surreal and full-circle moment — just last year I was in the audience manifesting being on that runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking down the runway, and now I get to return as an Angel. This will be an unforgettable night that I’ll forever be grateful for," she shared in a PEOPLE exclusive ahead of the show.
