Victoria's Secret newly announced the Victoria's Secret World Tour as a reimagining of its famed fashion show as a feature film. The brand's iconic show has been on hiatus for four years and soon, fans will get to see how the brand is committing to sharing women's voices, perspectives and experiences.
Millennial and Gen Z consumers are rejecting one-size-fits-all definitions of beauty in favor of writing their own definitions of what sexiness means to them. These generations, known for their progressive mindsets and demand for inclusivity, are dismantling conventional ideals and embracing diverse expressions of beauty. As the next generation of consumers seeks authenticity and individuality, brands are speaking their language by championing their stance on confidence, uniqueness and self-expression over narrow societal expectations.
