In a statement shared with HOLA!

The headliners 

Cher, an iconic and multi-award-winning artist known as the 'Goddess of Pop,' will make a special appearance at the highly anticipated return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday, October 15th. Her involvement is expected to bring an unmatched level of entertainment and prestige to the event, which is renowned for its combination of high fashion and celebrity performances. 

"It's a woman's world, so it's understood that you can’t have a fashion show without the mother of fashion herself—@Cher!" the company wrote on social media.

Recognized for integrating her dynamic persona into her work and her innovative approach to pop and R&B, Tyla will play a crucial role in this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's renowned entertainment, glamour, and fashion extravaganza. By showcasing her cultural background in her profession, the Johannesburg native is at the forefront of the South African Ampiano genre. 

Her platinum hit single 'Water' has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, garnered 5 million global 'creates' on TikTok, and subsequently facilitated her first GRAMMY win. Additionally, the single achieved the highest debut on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart for a female African soloist this year.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show hiatus and VS Collective

In 2019, L Brands, the former parent company of Victoria's Secret, canceled the annual fashion show. In 2021, Victoria’s Secret initiated a rebranding effort to distance itself from the male gaze and its traditional association with "sexy." On Wednesday, June 16th, 2021, The New York Times reported that the company was abandoning its iconic wings and "fantasies" in favor of featuring seven accomplished women known for their achievements.

The group of women included soccer professional Megan Rapinoe; actress Priyanka Chopra; Eileen Gu, a Chinese American freestyle skier, biracial plus-size model, and inclusivity advocate Paloma Elsesser; Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech; Brazilian transgender model Valentina Sampaio and journalist Amanda de Cadenet. The group was called the “VS Collective” and advised the brand, appeared in ads, and promoted it on Instagram.
