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 big profession moment after officially finalizing her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard in July. 

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

Ratajkowski took center stage on 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 accomplished 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 perfect to ever do it.”

Messages poured in, with others calling her “perfect” and “essentially the most beautiful woman on the earth.” A fourth noted, “I’ve all the time desired to see you there,” while a fifth gushed, “Won’t ever recover from this.” This enthusiastic supporter wrote, “That is our girl,” and one other added, “You are all the time stunning.”

Ratajkowski is giving fans an inside take a look at her unforgettable debut on 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 a single clip, she is seen getting her glam done before stepping onto the runway, while one other shows her confidently strutting in her pink lingerie set. However the clip that stole the highlight 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 bit of humor. “Genuinely unreal!!! I used to be so joyful to see you walking,” one person gushed. One other admitted they were stunned she had not walked for the brand before, writing, “You’re the right 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 daring fan even shot their shot, asking, “Let’s grab a drink sometime.”

One cheeky commenter summed up the web’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 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 recent deal with inclusion and strength, saying she is proud to be a part of the brand’s evolution. “I believe the casting is exclusive and represents such an attractive range of strong women,” she added.

As for fashion’s current obsession with lingerie as outerwear, Ratajkowski sees it as a win for ladies. “I’m joyful to see that we’re moving toward a less judgmental attitude toward women and the way in which they need to decorate,” she said.

Ratajkowski is officially moving into a brand new chapter each on the runway and in her personal life. The Blast reported that the 34-year-old’s stunning debut on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show got here months after her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard was finalized, closing an extended and messy chapter. 

The previous couple tied the knot in 2018 but called it quits in 2022 after allegations of infidelity surfaced. Court filings from the Manhattan Supreme Court indicate that the split was legally finalized on July 22, accompanied by a toddler support order submitted under sealed terms.

While the paperwork had been in motion since late 2024, corrections delayed the official judgment until now.

Here’s to seeing Emily Ratajkowski proceed to own every runway she steps on.
