Miranda Kerr explains why she declined the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show invitation
Victoria’s Secret invited the 43-year-old model to walk in its October 18 show in Los Angeles. The event also marked 20 years since her debut with the brand. Kerr last walked the Victoria’s Secret runway in 2012. In an Instagram post, she reflected on her longstanding bond with the company while explaining why she chose not to return.
“20 years since my first @victoriassecret show. Looking back with so much gratitude for the friendships, the magical memories and for everyone who made that chapter of my life so special.”
“It meant so much to be invited to return this year, especially as it marks 20 years since my first show…. but I ultimately felt in my heart it was right to cherish this chapter as it was. Sending so much love and light to everyone in this years show!”
Kerr expressed gratitude for the chance to look back on her journey with Victoria’s Secret while making it clear that she did not plan to return to the runway. Her 2006 debut helped establish her relationship with the company, and she later became one of its most recognizable faces. She also earned the title of Victoria’s Secret Angel and joined a long list of high-profile models linked to the annual show.
Despite skipping the 2026 show, Kerr supported the models who returned to the runway. Her post also highlighted the friendships and memories she continues to value from her years with the brand.
Kerr’s comments marked both a career milestone and her decision to leave that chapter of her life in the past. Rather than returning to the runway, she chose to celebrate the memories she made during her time with Victoria’s Secret.
