Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 Models: Heights & Measurements
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returns to Los Angeles on Sunday, October 18, 2026, marking its return to the city after 19 years. The confirmed lineup currently includes Gigi Hadid, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, and Abby Champion, with more models expected to be announced.
There’s a 5.5 inches difference between the tallest and the shortest of them. That spread is new for this runway. For most of its first run, from 1995 to 2018, the show cast a very narrow body type. Since the show came back in October 2024, its casting has taken in plus-size models, transgender models, and a WNBA star. Two of the five women confirmed for 2026 are plus-size models, a category the original show never booked.
Victoria’s Secret is revealing the 2026 cast gradually. The first four were announced on August 25, and Graham followed in September. The brand has also announced Angels Among Us, a YouTube docuseries following a nationwide open casting search. The winner will receive an IMG Models contract and a place on the 2026 runway. This page lists every confirmed model’s height and measurements and gets updated as each new name is announced.

Her modelling career has included major fashion campaigns and runway appearances around the world. The British Fashion Council named her International Model of the Year in 2016. Her younger sister, Bella Hadid, walked in 2025 but has not been confirmed for 2026.

2025 Victoria’s Secret Models Not Yet Confirmed for 2026:
Around 50 models walked the October 15, 2025 show at Steiner Studios in New York. Most of them haven’t been announced for the 2026 Los Angeles show yet, including some of the best-known Angels. They are not confirmed, and this list only shows how tall they are in case they’re added.
| Model | Height |
| Angel Reese | 6’4″ (193 cm) |
| Bella Hadid | 5’9″ (175 cm) |
| Adriana Lima | 5’10” (178 cm) |

How Tall Are Victoria’s Secret Models?
Victoria’s Secret doesn’t publish a minimum height requirement for its runway models. The confirmed 2026 cast runs from 5’6.5″ to 6’0″ and averages 5’9.8″. The Angels best known from the original show, Lima, Swanepoel, and Ambrosio, all stand around 5’10”. Elsesser is under 5’7″ and on her third show in a row. Height still matters on this runway, but it is no longer the fixed cutoff it once was.
When and How to Watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026:
The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs live on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. ET from Los Angeles and streams free on YouTube. For the first time, it will also be shown live in 10 AMC theatres, with tickets released in weekly drops. Victoria’s Secret hasn’t announced the exact venue or the musical performers yet. For comparison, the 2025 show featured Missy Elliott, Karol G, TWICE and Madison Beer.
Impact of Measurements on the Victoria’s Secret Runway:
Between 1995 and 2018, the show hired almost nothing but tall, very slim models, and criticism of that casting was part of why it went off the air after 2018. However, when the show returned in 2024, its casting included a wider range of body types and backgrounds.
The 2026 confirmed lineup continues that broader representation. Gigi Hadid and Abby Champion have measurements associated with traditional high-fashion runway proportions, while Ashley Graham and Paloma Elsesser bring different body measurements and modelling profiles to the lineup.
About Our Measurement Sourcing
Heights, body measurements, and shoe sizes come from each model’s agency card (IMG Models for Hadid, Consani, Graham and Elsesser; Ford Models for Champion), and Champion’s bust-waist-hip figures are from Ford as well. Weight isn’t listed for anyone because agencies don’t publish it, and online estimates vary too much.
