What People Have to Say About the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

On October 15, 2024, Victoria's Secret held its first fashion show since 2018, and people had quite a bit of negative things to say about it between the models, outfits, and the show altogether. This piqued my interest because Victoria's Secret is always caught in controversy, so I was curious what people were saying about the first fashion show in six years because a lot has changed since then regarding body positivity.  Victoria's Secret is a lingerie brand that has been providing women with sexy underwear, bras, and pajamas in retail since 1977.
