40(ish) Pounds
Jasmine Tookes may have made light work of the task, but she wasn't exaggerating when she dubbed the fringed wings she wore at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show "so heavy." In 2024, Victoria's Secret revealed that their heaviest-ever wings to date weighed in at 40 pounds.
Though Bella Hadid estimated the following year that her oversized set tipped the scales even further. "OK we're going to pretend these wings weren't 50 pounds," she shared in an Instagram Story, "but HOW BEAUTIFUL."
400 Hours
Before the brand's angel can truly take flight, artisans spend literal days meticulously crafting each set of wings.
41 Days
That's how long Barbara Palvin had to ready herself for her 2026 runway walk after she and husband Dylan Sprouse welcomed daughter Sylvie in September.
As he put it to E! News ahead of the show, "Some people are just better than other people. I'm extremely proud of my wife."
Four Weeks
Admittedly, the Hungary-bred model had even less time to prep for the 2025 show after breaking her foot. "The adrenaline's gonna kick on and she's gonna walk just fine, but I am nervous at the same time for her," Sprouse admitted to E! News. Because someone has to be.
"She's very nonchalant about everything," the actor acknowledged. "She's just like, 'Ah, well, today's the day.' I'm like, 'But you've trained for months. Don't you get stage fright?'"
30-Plus Musicians
The dozens of hit-making stars that have taken to the Victoria's Secret runway includes Tate McRae, Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Shawn Mendes and Taylor Swift.
75.54 Carats
Though the $50 million Fantasy Bra that Kylie Jenner donned at the 2026 show—returning for the first time since 2018—was made up of 4,410 natural Jacob & Co. diamonds it was the more than 75-carat yellow stunner dangling from the center that truly allowed the cosmetics mogul to rise and shine.
100 Minutes
The true secret behind the lingerie giant's fashion show is how much work the models put in before stripping down. Though Candice Swanepoel told Vogue in 2013 that her "lead-up to the show changes every year," for that go-round she committed to regular boxing, yoga, Pilates, cardio and other strength sessions with longtime trainer Justin Gelband.
Said the stunner, "On the whole, 100 minutes of nonstop action every other day does me well!"
