TWICE Takes Center Stage: Breaking Down Barriers at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
As the lights dimmed and the crowd erupted into cheers, four members of K-pop sensation TWICE – Nayeon, Jihyo, Tzuyu, and Momo – strutted down the catwalk at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. But this was no ordinary fashion show. The quartet's presence marked a significant moment in the intersection of pop culture, feminism, and diversity.
The evening's festivities took place at Steiner Studios in New York City on October 15, 2025. As the TWICE members made their way onto the runway, they were met with thunderous applause from the audience. But what was truly remarkable about this moment wasn't just the group's electrifying performance – it was the impact of their presence on the fashion industry and beyond.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has long been a platform for showcasing the world's most beautiful models and the latest in fashion trends. However, over the years, the event has faced criticism for its lack of diversity and body positivity. The inclusion of TWICE marked a significant shift towards greater inclusivity, as the group brought their unique blend of K-pop style and confidence to the runway.
As they performed their hit singles "This Is For" and "Strategy," the TWICE members embodied the spirit of feminism and female empowerment that defines their music. Their lyrics, which celebrate women's strength and individuality, resonated deeply with the audience. The performance was a testament to the group's ability to transcend cultural boundaries and connect with fans from all over the world.
But what about the other superstars who joined TWICE on the catwalk? Olympic gold medalist and Victoria's Secret model, Aly Raisman, made her runway debut alongside the K-pop quartet. Raisman, a trailblazer in her own right, has used her platform to advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance.
"I'm so grateful to be part of this moment," Raisman said in an interview after the show. "TWICE is an incredible group that embodies the spirit of female empowerment. Their music and message are truly inspiring."
The intersection of K-pop and Western pop culture has been a topic of interest in recent years, with many artists exploring new sounds and styles. TWICE's performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marked a significant milestone in this cultural exchange.
"K-pop has always been about pushing boundaries and challenging expectations," said Jihyo, one of the group members. "We're thrilled to be part of this moment and to share our music with fans around the world."
As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that TWICE had left an indelible mark on the fashion industry. Their presence marked a significant step towards greater diversity and inclusivity, and their music served as a powerful reminder of the impact that women can have when they come together.
In the words of Nayeon, "This is for all my ladies who don't get hyped enough." With TWICE at the forefront of this movement, it's clear that the future of fashion – and pop culture – has never looked brighter.
