It's back: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returns with surprise debut ...
British model Kate Moss made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut, alongside her daughter, during the return of the US runway event.
The lingerie brand returned for its first live fashion show in six years, with some of the world’s most famous models and musicians gracing its New York City catwalk.
Moss made a surprise appearance during the event, strutting on the catwalk moments after her 22-year-old daughter Lila Moss took to the stage in a pink ensemble.

The 50-year-old wore a lace-covered slip dress over a black bodysuit ensemble with a pair of feathered angel wings, as she emerged during a rendition of the 1981 track I Love Rock ’n’ Roll.
Meanwhile, US star Gigi Hadid was the epitome of glamour, with her highly-anticipated return to her angel wings opening the show before her sister Bella Hadid made a surprise appearance as a scarlet bombshell.

However, in 2018 it fell to its lowest ratings as the show began to attract criticism, including for lack of diversity on the catwalk.
