The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway was an incredible sight to behold, but it was backstage where the magic truly began.

Seeing all of the models and famous faces coming together, catching up on lost time—or getting to know each other for the first time—was the epitome of good vibes. Fortunately, we got several glimpses at everything going on behind the scenes before the amazing runway show, courtesy of some of the models who made it happen.

Backstage is the best place to have a quick photo shoot before hitting the catwalk, and Ashley Graham knew this to be true. The model shared a behind the scenes look at her experience on the show on Instagram this week, as she enjoyed some camera time while flaunting her stuff in a chic black ensemble, including a black two-piece lingerie set and a pair of matching wings.

And seeing Graham chill with Yumi Nu was the SI Swimsuit model meet-up we never knew we needed! By the looks of it, the backstage area seemed like a huge slumber party filled with glitz, glamour and gorgeous models.

Speaking of Nu, the model also shared a sneak peek at what was happening behind the pink curtain. Her Instagram photo drop opened with a still of her and Precious Lee embracing for an adorable hug. It then went on to showcase a photo of Nu serving divine looks in her red runway outfit, a video of her after killing it on stage and several other stunning backstage moments. Safe to say, her first time being a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show angel was one to remember.

And the official Victoria’s Secret Instagram account wasn’t going to let their 79.9 million fans go hungry for content after such a marvelous show! The brand gave the ultimate backstage look, including a stacked video featuring several iconic Victoria’s Secret staples, including Barbara Palvin, Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes and Lily Aldridge.

In another video, there was even more camaraderie. From Bella Hadid reuniting with Imaan Hammam to the models having a dance session together, every minute radiated a loving, wholesome vibe. There may be glitter on the floor and feathers still stuck to the chair, but the fun of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show backstage area resulted in a radiant runway that the internet is still buzzing about.
