Behati Prinsloo Stuns in a Bold Dress for Her 11th Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Appearance.Linh

Behati Prinsloo is back on the Victoria’s Secret runway — and it’s like she never left!

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, the model, 36, hit the runway in the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, marking her 11th overall show with the brand.

The longtime Angel commanded the catwalk in a black velvet slip dress with silver star details and a thigh-high slit. Also covered in stars were the model’s shoes, a pair of strappy heels that wrapped around her calf.

Tying the edgy ensemble together was, of course, a pair of Angel wings. Prinsloo wore a unique pair made not of feathers, but mirror-like shards and crystal details.

She also accessorized the look with chunky, sparkling hoop earrings and a smoky eye.

Despite her dark and edgy ensemble, however, Prinsloo was all smiles as she walked the runway, even motioning to the crowd to get excited at one point.

Ahead of her stint in the milestone show, the model — who just returned to the brand in a new Dream campaign alongside Candice Swanepoel, Taylor Hill and more — kept quiet about whether she would grace the runway.

After simply teasing, “We’ll see,” the model and mom of three recalled some of the good times she had at the event in years past.

“Honestly, I always had so much fun at those shows,” she told PEOPLE exclusively. “I have very fond memories of all of it. And the show was such a highlight, I think, for everyone and everyone watching, too. It was so fun.”

From 2007 and 2018, Prinsloo walked in a total of 10 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows. Her outfits included everything from gold Angel wings to low-rise sweatpants.

The model also reflected on recent changes at the brand— this year’s show is Victoria’s Secret’s first since it canceled the show in 2019 amid backlash over lack of inclusivity — calling the brand’s evolution “exciting.”

“I was so curious to know how they would bring back the show, keep it authentic to VS, but make it fresh and new and different and inclusive and all those things,” she told PEOPLE of the show’s return.

“I think a lot of people want [the runway] back and also want it to be different. They want elements that they miss from previous years, but also keep it 2024.”
