But Kendall Jenner’s name was left off the model list, and fans spotted this strange omission before the show even began.
The likes of Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, Ashley Graham, Adriana Lima and Bella Hadid were all in attendance to stomp down the pink runway.
Fans and critics of the Kardashian-Jenner clan took to social media to note how Kendall’s name was not included.
“Where’s Kendall?” asked one.
Fans and critics of the model were quick to speculate why Kendall was not on the confirmed models, with conflict of interest and anxiety among the reasons.
STRICT CONTRACTS
One person wrote: “Kendall is modeling for L’Oréal and Tommy Hilfiger now.”
Another echoed: “Maybe her contract with L’Oreal excludes her from participating in the show?”
TOO ANXIOUS?
A third person then mentioned Kendall’s mental health, and speculated that she was maybe “too anxious” to take part in the major televised event.
“Maybe she felt a little overwhelmed and decided to opt out,” said a fourth.
Kendall previously revealed that she has suffered from anxiety since she was seven years old, and opened up about her current anxiety struggle back in May.
Speaking to Vogue, Kendall said, “I’m way more anxious than usual. So I’m not going to sit here and act like everything’s perfect.
“That’s life – I’m always going to be in and out of those feelings.
“In past interviews, when someone’s asked me about my mental state, it’s always been, ‘I’m great right now, but this is what I’ve dealt with.’ Well, right now I’m actually in it.”
According to People, Kendall most likely did not appear due to her contract with Calvin Klein Underwear, which would ban her from modeling for other competing brands.
CALLS FOR KENDALL’S RETURN
“We need Kendall Jenner and Gisele Bundchen for [the] next Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” another fan argued on social media, with many in agreement.
Other former Victoria’s Secret models Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss and Selita Ebanks were also missing from the 2024 show.
Kendall has a long-standing relationship with the brand, and starred in the last fashion show in 2018.
She also walked the pink carpet in 2015 and 2016, but took a break in 2017 due to her relationship with La Perla lingerie.
