How to watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025

Victoria’s Secret is embracing a true multi-platform approach. You can stream the full runway show live on Prime Video and Amazon Live, or watch free on the brand’s official YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok channels. This broad distribution signals a clear strategy: meet fans where they already scroll, and turn the runway into a global, second-screen experience that thrives on live comments, clips, and instant replay.

Why the timing and format matter this year

The 7 p.m. ET slot is a deliberate bridge between U.S. prime time and a global digital audience. In the U.S., it captures evening viewers without colliding with late-night programming; internationally, it positions the show as a next-morning “appointment watch” that fuels work-commute feeds in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. That’s a savvy scheduling play: social video thrives when fresh highlights surface as people wake up, and the brand’s simultaneous presence on short-form platforms ensures those moments spread fast.

Equally important is the 30-minute Pink Carpet build-up. It gives the stream a narrative arc—arrival, anticipation, runway—while creating extra windows for viral content. Expect hosted interviews, first looks at the wings and custom pieces, and early teases from the night’s performers. For a digitally native audience, this pre-show is the hook that keeps viewers locked in through the countdown.

What to expect on the runway in 2025

This year’s lineup blends legacy Angels and household names with headline-grabbing newcomers from sports and entertainment. The creative direction continues the rebooted DNA introduced post-hiatus: high-gloss spectacle fused with broader representation, unexpected casting, and a music program built for cross-genre fandoms. That mix isn’t just aesthetic—it’s algorithmic. Pairing supermodels with chart-topping performers and viral-ready talent multiplies shareable moments across fan communities, which is exactly what turns a live stream into a cultural event.

Pro tips for viewers: get the best experience

• Pick your platform: If you want lean-back TV feel, choose Prime Video. If you plan to chat and clip highlights, YouTube or TikTok will feel livelier.

• Catch the pre-show: The Pink Carpet at 6:30 p.m. ET often drops the night’s most replayed beauty, hair, and look reveals.

• Optimize your feed: Follow the brand and performers on the same platform you’ll watch—your For You/Home feeds will surface backstage snips you’d otherwise miss.

• Timeshift smartly: In later-time-zone regions, consider starting with the on-demand replay; then jump into social for real-time reactions and breakdowns.
