Rene Caovilla was officially back on the Victoria’s Secret runway.

The Venetian luxury footwear brand was the exclusive shoe partner for the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, marking its second consecutive year outfitting the Angels.

The partnership brought Caovilla’s signature craftsmanship to Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, where the show started airing live earlier this evening. A bespoke selection of styles — including mules, thigh-high boots and 105 mm-heel sandals — has been embellished with sparkling crystals, sinuous serpents and the maison’s signature stardust soles. The runway lineup was designed to mirror the spectacle of the brand’s “Reawakening” theme, adding a layer of old-world Italian glamour to Victoria’s Secret’s modernized vision.

This year’s cast includes an all-star roster of supermodels: Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Anok Yai, Joan Smalls, Yumi Nu, Adriana Lima and Alex Consani, to name a few. The show will also feature live performances from Karol G, Madison Beer, Missy Elliott and Twice, bringing the full entertainment push back to Victoria’s Secret’s biggest stage.

The return of Caovilla aligns with the company’s larger strategic reset under CEO Hillary Super, who has spent the past year steering the brand toward what she’s called a “next era” of the Victoria’s Secret identity. In an exclusive preview to WWD, Super described the 2025 show as a statement of intent. “It’s the biggest stage in the world, and I think this is an opportunity for us to really introduce this next era of Victoria’s Secret and Pink to everyone,” she said.

The event also reflected creative director Adam Selman’s push to lean into spectacle. A former Savage x Fenty design lead, Selman tapped his global network of artisans to shape the night’s visual language — including Caovilla’s team in Italy.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show streamed live across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok at 7 p.m. ET, with additional access through Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Live in the U.S.
