When it comes to modeling for Victoria’s Secret, Gisele Bündchen is basically the blueprint.

And while the iconic star didn’t walk in this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in LA, she did make a pre-taped, lingerie-clad cameo.

“Are you ready for the show?” she said in the surprise video, which played before Bella Hadid opened the star-studded runway.

Ever the VS Angel, Bündchen lounged in a pink lace bra and panties, layered with one of the brand’s iconic pink-and-white striped silk robes — a backstage staple at the annual lingerie shows.

She returned via video at the end of the show, eating popcorn and teasing a potential upcoming collaboration with the iconic label.

“Wasn’t that amazing? You’re gonna be seeing more of me real soon,” the Brazilian star said, with a wink to the camera.

Bündchen made her Victoria’s Secret debut in 1999, a year before signing a record-setting $25 million contract with the brand.

She was a fixture on the brand’s runways for the next six years, even modeling the “Red Hot Fantasy Bra” in 2000.

Valued at $15 million, it was the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever — until tonight, when Kylie Jenner hit the runway in a $50 million diamond-covered design by Jacob & Co.

It’s been 20 years since Bündchen walked in a VS runway show, though she did shoot a print campaign in 2023 alongside fellow icons like Naomi Campbell and Adriana Lima.

And in January 2026, Hailey Bieber re-created one of the Brazilian beauty’s most iconic campaigns.

This year’s show came just a day after Bündchen was spotted leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach on crutches and wearing a medical boot.

Based on the tease in her cameo, perhaps we can expect to see her in another VS campaign once she’s back on her feet.

Or perhaps she’ll grow some wings.
