Victoria's Secret Show Criticized as Outdated Spectacle
A recent commentary labels the Victoria's Secret Show as a culturally irrelevant and tacky event, drawing parallels to dated fashion trends.
The Victoria's Secret Show has been described as an irritating and dated cultural phenomenon, comparable to once-popular but now passé items like Juicy Couture tracksuits and phone charms.
Commentator Clare Foges argues that the show's spectacle has become particularly anachronistic in the current cultural landscape. She suggests that the elaborate costumes, including the famed Fantasy Bra, could be replicated with simple craft materials, implying a lack of genuine luxury or innovation. The event's perceived lack of relevance is further highlighted by comparisons to outdated cultural milestones like Miss World.
Foges points to the public reactions of notable figures, such as Kris Jenner and Timothee Chalamet, as an example of what she views as an over-the-top response to the show. The commentary suggests that such enthusiasm is misplaced, likening their emotional display to receiving a high military honor rather than viewing a fashion event.
The critique positions the Victoria's Secret Show as a relic of a bygone era, out of step with contemporary tastes and values. The piece implies that the brand and its associated events should be re-evaluated for their cultural impact and relevance in the modern world.
