After a four-year hiatus, the Wings, Walks and Women of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show return Tuesday to the company's 2024 show in New York City.

Victoria's Secret pulled the plug on the show in 2019 after poor ratings and the brand itself became embroiled in some controversy. Last year, the company launched a remastered, partially revived film version of a show for Prime Video.

The show returns as the body positivity movement – ​​a belief system of self-acceptance regardless of body type – is at a crossroads. Many curvy personalities have advocated for more size-appropriate clothing throughout their careers. But as more people embrace the new class of wildly popular weight-loss drugs, some plus-size models say the fashion industry has taken another step backwards.

Here's what you should know.

What have been the controversies surrounding Victoria's Secret in the past?

The lingerie brand was the subject of a 2020 New York Times investigation that detailed allegations of a culture of misogyny at the company. A spokesman for L Brands, the former parent company of Victoria's Secret, told the newspaper at the time that the company was “strongly focused on corporate governance, workplace and compliance practices” and had “made significant progress.”

Victoria's Secret has also been criticized for its lack of inclusivity. In November 2018, Ed Razek, then chief marketing officer of L Brands, came under fire for saying that he didn't think the brand should include “transsexuals” in its fashion show.

The company split from L Brands in 2021 and has since made efforts to overhaul its approach and become relevant to women again. It has overhauled its image and incorporated more diverse, body-positive models into its campaigns.

What's different about this year's show?

In its May announcement, Victoria's Secret said it wanted to have a show that reflected “who we are today.”

“We have been reading the comments and listening to you,” said an Instagram post announcing this year’s show. “The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is BACK and will reflect who we are today and everything you know and love – glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment and more! Stay tuned…it only gets more iconic from here on out.”
