Megan Thee Stallion Commands the Runway With Her Victoria’s Secret Closing Performance

As a kid, Megan Thee Stallion dreamed of being like a Victoria’s Secret model. And for this Stallion, dreams do come true. The rapper made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut on Sunday, October 18, closing out the 2026 presentation with poise, silver wings and enough hot-girl energy to make the runway her own.

“This is so unreal, this is so full circle; I think everyone has been seeing what I’ve been tweeting about this since I was like 14, and we made it,” Megan declared on the pink carpet before the show.

Dressed in a plunging, glittering gown that made her feel like a “pink diamond,” she shared her excitement about finally stepping onto the Victoria’s Secret runway, after joking that it was about time. The moment also brought back memories of her mother, Holly Thomas, who died in 2019.

“My mom used to have Victoria’s Secret magazines come to the house all the time…I would look in the magazines and think, ‘Wow, these ladies are so beautiful; I want to be like this when I grow up.’”

Megan then traded her pink-carpet gown for a sparkling black-and-silver bra, black thong, glittering stockings and metallic silver Angel wings to close out the show held at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City—its first return to the Los Angeles area since 2007.

This was no ordinary strut. Mic in hand, Megan hit the beat hard with her 2022 hit “Her,” then switched into the refrain of her 2020 banger “Body.”

Models including Daiane Sodré and Precious Lee walked during her set, but Megan delivered a runway presence that was all her own, as declared by fans on Reddit. Praising her confidence on the catwalk, one commenter in r/Fauxmoi declared that “She has the VS model energy that some of the actual VS models lack.” Others wished they could have gotten more Megan with a longer set.
