Gigi Hadid channelled her friend Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ energy during her return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway. The model made a stunning comeback to the iconic runway, marking her first appearance in several years, and her performance didn’t go unnoticed, especially with a special tribute to Swift.
Strutting down the runway in a pink silk one-piece with short shorts and a plunging neckline, Hadid accessorised her look with oversized pink wings. As she confidently walked, she mimicked Swift’s famous wave from the ‘Eras Tour’, capturing the audience’s attention with her playful yet poised moves.

When Hadid reached the end of the runway, she struck a familiar pose — one arm raised straight up with her wrist slightly turned to the sky. This pose, widely recognised as Swift’s signature move from her record-breaking world tour, brought a touch of the pop star’s charisma to the fashion event.
Swift is known for using this gesture during many of her performances, often paired with her love for the iconic heart hands and the archer pose, the latter being a subtle nod to her NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Before the show, Hadid spoke about her return to the runway, revealing that Swift, a close friend of over a decade, helped her prepare for the big moment. While Swift couldn’t be there in person, Hadid felt her support from afar, sharing that her friend played a key role in shaping her performance.
Hadid teased that there was something new for her on the runway this time, and Swift’s influence was part of that magic. Though Swift and Kelce were likely enjoying some downtime together, Hadid knew her friend was cheering her on from home.
