Bella Hadid proved once again that she can not only strut down a runway, but also with 50 pounds strapped to her back.
The supermodel seemingly clapped back at haters on social media, who criticized her final walk during the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday. Some people online also pointed out that she appeared to be struggling to walk at the end.
However, Hadid quickly took to her Instagram Story to remind fans that it wasn’t just any regular runway walk. “Ok we’re not going to pretend these wings weren’t 50 pounds but HOW BEAUTIFUL,” she wrote.
While the model was seen at one point hanging onto the angel wing’s straps and slowing down a bit to keep her balance, she still served face throughout the entire walk and was all smiles at the end as Tate McRae’s song “Sports Car” played in the background.
Hadid closed out the 2025 show in a white lingerie set with silver fringe draped around her, paired with one massive accessory: white angel wings, which appeared to be made with petal-like fabric.
Earlier in the night, as singer Karol G performed her song “Ivonny Bonita,” Hadid wore a spicy all-red lingerie set, with a sheer train flowing behind her.
Hadid was among many models and influencers who dominated the runway Wednesday night, including her sister Gigi Hadid, Alex Consani, Angel Reese, Iris Law, Emily Ratajkowski, Barbie Ferreira and Quenlin Blackwell, among others. Veteran angels Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge and Alessandra Ambrosio also walked the runway, sporting elaborate wings as well.
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show featured other performances by Missy Elliott, Madison Beer and Twice.
