MANILA, Philippines — Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray is set to bring Philippine representation to the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, with the beauty queen teasing her appearance through an angel-inspired pictorial ahead of the highly anticipated event.
A promotional graphic shared through Victoria’s Secret Philippines identifies Gray as a special guest representing the Philippines at the show, scheduled for Oct. 18 in Los Angeles. The event will be streamed live on Oct. 19 at 7:30 a.m. Philippine time.
Gray posted a series of photos on Instagram featuring her in a fitted pink lace ensemble, platinum-blonde hair and dramatic white feathered wings.
“Wings up, we’re inbound,” Gray wrote in the caption, tagging Victoria’s Secret and its Philippine account and adding the hashtag #VSFashionShow.
The 2026 show will feature musical performances by Katseyr, Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae.
The lineup of models includes established Victoria’s Secret names such as Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Candice Swanepoel and Ashley Graham, alongside other familiar faces and emerging talents.
This year’s presentation marks the fashion show’s return to Los Angeles for the first time since 2007.
The fashion show event returned in 2024 following a six-year hiatus, with the brand seeking to broaden its representation and refresh its approach to the long-running production.
The show will be available globally through Victoria’s Secret’s official YouTube channel, with additional content on the brand’s social media platforms.
Gray rose to global prominence after winning the Miss Universe crown in December 2018, becoming the Philippines’ fourth titleholder.
