Palau utilized products like L’Oréal Paris Elnett hairspray and Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural spray to achieve volume, stating that this year's theme celebrates luxurious, healthy hair with a modern blend of beautiful textures and curls. He described the aesthetic as a luxurious expression of glamour without limits.
Makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath returned as the makeup lead for the show, collaborating closely with Palau and creative director Adam Selman. McGrath emphasized a vision of glowing, radiant skin complemented by vibrant shimmer and dramatic lashes. She aimed to blend classic Victoria’s Secret glamour with a fresh, modern flair, creating an ethereal glow that embodies the fantasy of the brand.
McGrath elaborated on her approach, highlighting the importance of luminous, hydrated skin as a base for makeup. She used a soft eyeliner, the Pat McGrath Labs PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil, blending it into the models’ looks to create subtle yet impactful eye makeup, finished with glossy lips and a touch of moisturizer for a dewy effect.
Expressing her commitment to evolving the iconic style of Victoria’s Secret, McGrath noted that each season offers opportunities to reinvent looks by adjusting textures, colors, and light, ensuring that the runway remains a place for bold and fantastical expressions of beauty.
