Candice Swanepoel flashes her bottom in a tiny thong and giant red bow on the catwalk as the Victoria’s Secret show returns

Candice Swanepoel returned to the Victoria Secret show in style on Tuesday evening as the brand’s iconic display was held for the first time in six years.

The supermodel, 35, who first walked the show in 2007, proved she’s still got it as she stormed the runway in two different lingerie looks.

Most eye-catching of the two was a striking red look, which included a gigantic bow attached to her bra, which scarcely covered her peachy behind

Candice wore a red bra with a matching thong, while completing the monochrome look with a pair of strappy heels and earrings.

The stunning blonde wore her hair sleeked back into a ponytail and added a full face of make-up, including a dramatic smokey eye.

Candice first emerged wearing a sparkly bra and thong underwear that left little to the imagination.

The blonde beauty left very little to the imagination in a skimpy blush-toned bra and thong underwear.

It was styled with wings that spelled out Victoria’s Secret in elegant cursive lettering behind her.

The South African beauty quickly became part of Victoria’s Secret’s elite model squad after being crowned an ‘Angel’ in 2010.

She has served as the brand’s go-to babyfaced blonde — a look supermodel Gigi Hadid has emulated in recent years — for over a decade.

But she appeared to be working with a fiercer, more defined visage while walking the runway.

Her brows and eyes had a noticeably lifted look, which is reflective of the popular ‘fox eye’ trend. 

Though a ‘fox eye’ can be achieved with an upper facelift, brow lift or facial threading, strategic makeup placement can also help create the illusion of a more lifted face.

What was once the Sєxiest and most outrageous night in fashion was yesterday accused of going woke as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned.

Fans slammed the new staging of the event following a six-year absence – branding it ‘boring’ and lacklustre.

The occasion marked the first walk down the Victoria’s Secret runway for Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio, who had been the first transgender model to represent the brand in 2019.

Fellow transgender model Alex Consani also took to the catwalk as the lingerie brand expanded on its efforts to be more inclusive.

The event has been seen by some as a far cry from the event’s heyday, when outrageous walks and outfits dominated the fashion world for weeks after appearing on the show – before the company was hit by scandals including claims of a ‘toxic’ workplace culture.

Victoria’s Secret has also seen sales slide, with critics suggesting that moves towards more ‘inclusivity’ in recent years – including using plus-sized models – have failed to appeal.

Cher served as last night’s headline performer along with Blackpink alum Lisa and rising star Tyla — making it the show’s first ever all-woman musical line-up.

But there has been a backlash on X, formerly Twitter, with criticisms of what were seen as toned-down production values lacking glitz and ‘woke’ efforts.

The lingerie brand was famed for its sultry catwalks which featured the likes of Cara Delevingne and Miranda Kerr as its ‘Angels’.

Models were seen in the past strutting down the catwalk in 10ft white feathered wings, thongs and basques – yet the new show has been viewed as a letdown by many.

‘Victoria’s Secret came back with the most boring show ever’, said one poster, while another wrote: ‘The Victoria’s Secret show looks so modern and boring now, I’m disappointed.’

A separate commenter said: ‘Victoria Secret has yet to listen to our public demands. This is not the show we wanted. Everyone’s hair is flat, no extremely tall models, the entire production is different.’

Another remarked: ‘Victoria Secret really said go woke, go broke.’

Other comments included: ‘The new Victoria’s secret fashion show feels so SOULLESS omg… and like why are they playing fake crowd cheering sounds? where’s the iconic runway???’

Another viewer posted: ‘This was cute but it wasn’t enough… we need to bring back the glitter runway, more lively performances!

‘What happened to the dedicated sets per look, close up of the looks, backstage chaos let’s get back to our roots #VSFashionShow2024! The inclusion was okay but I guess…

‘The OGs chewed a lot the new girls, we were missing plots like who was new [Angels], who were the old, why should we fall in love with them?.. etc. A lot of no personality haute couture walking this is #VSFashionShow2024 where are the smiles, kisses and waves?!’
