On Oct. 8, Victoria’s Secret announced that Elliott would headline the show with Madison Beer, Karol G and K-pop stars TWICE. “Missy Elliott performing at The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show? Pinch us,” Victoria’s Secret wrote in an Instagram post announcing the news.

The all-female lineup follows last year’s, for which Cher, Lisa of Blackpink and Tyla performed.

Before the event, several models were confirmed to walk in the event, which streamed on Prime Video, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, among them: Lily Aldridge, Adriana Lima and Joan Smalls.

This year’s show also features newcomers such as WNBA star Angel Reese, who told PEOPLE she “couldn’t stop smiling” after getting the news.

It’s been a busy few months for Elliott. Hot off the heels of her headlining tour — The Missy Elliott Experience — in summer 2024, she received the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities honors from then-President Joe Biden. 

The artist took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her excitement. “I am HUMBLY GRATEFUL! Crying Tears of JOY! Thinking of the days I wasn’t so strong but through FAITH & PRAYER I kept going,” she said. 

Since, Elliott has performed at Coachella as well as at the RiverBeat Music Festival, and up next the 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is slated to perform at the organization’s 2025 induction ceremony.
