Back in December 2023, Bella Hadid stepped out with a cherry red Von Dutch bowler, a nod to the Y2K style revival that’s still going strong. Earlier this year, her sister Gigi Hadid carried a mini bowling bag from Miu Miu, solidifying the trend. On Miu Miu’s Spring 2024 runway, leather bowling carryalls were a central feature, while Coach showcased their colorful versions for the same season.

The trend isn’t limited to luxury brands. Affordable options from labels like Reformation and Mango have made the bowling bag accessible to everyday shoppers. One standout is the COS bowling bag, priced at $320, which has gone viral on TikTok. Fashion enthusiasts rave about the oversized carryall, often sharing their excitement before it inevitably sells out within hours of a restock.

TikTok creator Polly Dunseath loves the bag so much she owns it in multiple colors, including black leather, burgundy, and brown suede. Many fans even consider it a budget-friendly alternative to The Row’s Margaux bag—a minimalist shoulder bag with a strikingly similar design but a much heftier price tag. “It gives The Row vibes,” one TikTok user commented.

The bowling bag’s popularity aligns with the rise of “quiet luxury” or “stealth wealth,” a style that prioritizes high-quality, logo-free items. It’s a departure from the micro bags of Y2K fame, offering practicality without sacrificing style. “We all carry more stuff these days—chargers, laptops, headphones,” explained *Vogue* contributor Christian Allaire. “The bowling bag is built to hold it all, making it an ideal commuter accessory.”

This boxy silhouette first made waves in the fashion world on Prada’s Spring 2000 runway. Now, over two decades later, it’s back as a wardrobe staple, with cult-favorite brands creating their own spins on the classic design. Whether you’re drawn to its nostalgic charm or its practical allure, the bowling bag is undoubtedly this season’s most coveted accessory.

Fortunately, Razek left the company, and Victoria’s Secret became more inclusive, implementing a range of diverse models. The result was an epic comeback in the form of the 2024 fashion show, which was dazzling and star-studded. But what exactly were the most legendary moments of the show? Read on to find out more.

2. Surprise musical performances from Tyla and Lisa

Tyla and Lisa delivered talented performances. Former Blackpink member and current K-pop solo star Lisa rode in on a motorcycle beside backup dancers in leather. South African singer Tyla earned her own pair of fluffy wings and a sparkling lingerie set as she enchanted the crowds.

3. Doutzen Kroes had a shoe accident and fell

Channeling Carrie Bradshaw, model Doutzen Kroes had a little incident with her shoe. It came off after getting stuck in the runway, but she managed to correct the error and have a victorious moment as she waved her arms and cheered herself on.

4. Adriana Lima returned to the runway

Lima, who was one of the original Angels, looked as though she hadn’t aged a day when she rocked the runway with a strappy black bra and a unique gingham look covering her arms and legs but leaving her torso bare.

5. Dylan Sprouse showed support with pet cutouts

Dylan Sprouse provided the best kind of emotional support to his wife, Barbara Palvin, who was modeling in the show: animal support. He brought huge cardboard cutouts of their cat and dog. In the front row, he waved the cutouts as his wife strutted down the stage. She smiled and waved to him—or was she waving to the pets?

6. Kate Moss and her daughter made an appearance

Who says rock and roll better than Kate Moss? Moss showed up in a lacy black ensemble. Still, before the famous supermodel walked the runway, her daughter Lila made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut during Tyla’s performance, wearing a smouldering look with a fringe pink jacket and custom wings spelling her name.

7. The first trans models to walk the VS show

Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio performed of a lifetime as they passed a significant milestone—walking as the first trans models in the Victoria’s Secret show. Consani wore a sparkling bra and underwear set with puffy wings reminiscent of a pillow, while Sampaio wore an oversized holiday bow instead of wings paired with a beaded skirt.

8. Cher made an appearance

Could there have been a more iconic lineup of female artists? Cher performed “Strong Enough” and “Believe,” and despite being 78 years old, she looked ageless.

9. The other Hadid sister wore a jaw-dropping look

As Cher performed her finale song, Bella Hadid wore a dramatic red feathered cape complete with a train and huge sleeves that skyrocketed past her head, paired with a red bra and panties. While attendees assumed this was the show’s end, a final surprise guest shocked everyone.

10. Tyra Banks appeared for a grand finale to close the show

Victoria’s Secret put Tyra Banks on the map years ago, turning her into one of the top supermodels in the world. Twenty years later, she came out of retirement for this show looking angelic in a glittering corset and leggings paired with a metallic cape. Channelling superhero energy, she led the 52 models as the show finally ended.
