Emily Ratajkowski Praised After Victoria’s Secret Runway Debut

Emily Ratajkowski made her highly anticipated Victoria’s Secret runway debut, and fans are raving about it.

The star stunned in her first-ever show for the lingerie giant, marking a significant career moment after officially finalizing her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard in July. 

It is a new chapter for Emily Ratajkowski, who has spent the past decade building her name as one of fashion’s most recognizable figures.

Ratajkowski took center stage at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, strutting the Brooklyn Navy Yard runway in a pink push-up bra and matching g-string, styled with sheer gloves and sparkling heels.

She completed the look with a sculpted, petal-inspired structure covered in rhinestones, giving her an ethereal glow. Fans immediately flooded her Instagram comments with praise, with one crowning her “The best to ever do it.”

Messages poured in, with others calling her “perfect” and “the most beautiful woman in the world.” A fourth noted, “I’ve always wanted to see you there,” while a fifth gushed, “Will never get over this.” This enthusiastic supporter wrote, “That’s our girl,” and another added, “You’re always stunning.”

Ratajkowski is giving fans an inside look at her unforgettable debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She shared a carousel of photos and videos from the event, featuring backstage moments and fellow runway stars like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Adut Akech, and others. 

In one clip, she is seen getting her glam done before stepping onto the runway, while another shows her confidently strutting in her pink lingerie set. But the clip that stole the spotlight showed Ratajkowski dancing freely without her petal-shaped wings, flaunting her petite derrière, toned figure, and playful energy. 

She also posted a mood board celebrating the powerhouse lineup of models, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Jasmine Tookes, and Awar Odhiang.

Ratajkowski’s behind-the-scenes post had fans flooding her comments with excitement and a little humor. “Genuinely unreal!!! I was so happy to see you walking,” one person gushed. Another admitted they were stunned she had not walked for the brand before, writing, “You are the perfect lingerie model!”

Others kept the energy playful, with one user joking, “I can sleep peacefully now knowing I’ve seen you kill it as a pink orchid in a G-string.” 

A fourth dubbed her look “my favorite wings of the night,” while one bold fan even shot their shot, asking, “Let’s grab a drink sometime.”

One cheeky commenter summed up the internet’s collective awe: “How does her ex live with himself?” a nod to her newly finalized split from Sebastian Bear-McClard.

Before setting the runway ablaze, Ratajkowski opened up about her first-ever Victoria’s Secret campaign and the experience left her in awe. Speaking with PopSugar, the mother-of-one shared how unbelievable it felt to be featured alongside the supermodels she admired growing up. In her words:

“I grew up looking at images of Gisele, Candace, Naomi, and Adriana, so it’s simply surreal to be included in a campaign next to them.” 

Ratajkowski also praised Victoria’s Secret’s new focus on inclusion and strength, saying she is proud to be part of the brand’s evolution. “I think the casting is unique and represents such a beautiful range of strong women,” she added.

As for fashion’s current obsession with lingerie as outerwear, Ratajkowski sees it as a win for women. “I’m happy to see that we are moving toward a less judgmental attitude toward women and the way they want to dress,” she said.
