Tune in to Amazon Prime this Friday to see the latest show for the music and beauty mogul’s lingerie brand.
There was a time not long ago, when the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was a much ballyhooed event, drawing in millions of viewers with a melding of lingerie, style, and performances from the biggest names in show business. Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and other bold-faced names performed on the runway with the “Victoria’s Secrets Angels” strutting around in elaborately costumed lingerie. Though that time was recent enough for all those names mentioned to still be charting hits today, the show and the Victoria’s Secret brand seems a tad dated in comparison to its replacement: Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show. Not only does Rihanna occupy a hipper space than the minds behind Victoria’s Secret in the eyes of many, but her brand represents inclusivity that seems more in step with the times with products that come in a variety of shades to match all skin tones and sizes ranging from 32A-42H in bras and XS-3X in underwear and sleepwear. Not that there’s really a competition for best lingerie stage production: Victoria’s Secret cancelled its show following 2018’s event in the aftermath of its parent company’s CEO Les Wexner’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a whole slew of other complaints arisen from the Me Too Movement, and declining viewership.
