We’ve been waiting. Not just for the return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but for the moment the spectacle would truly land. And on Wednesday, October 15th, it didn’t just land—it soared, thanks in no small part to the glittering, gravity-defying footwear strutted down the Brooklyn runway.
For the second sensational year, René Caovilla confirmed its place as the exclusive shoe partner, weaving its legendary Italian magic into the very fabric of the show. If the Angels bring the wings, Caovilla brings the trajectory. This wasn’t a mere collaboration; it was a stunning marriage of two titans dedicated to the highest form of glamour.
Where Artistry Meets Altitude
The energy inside Steiner Studios was electric, but all eyes were constantly drawn down—to the feet. The famed Venetian Maison, with a heritage stretching back to 1934, treated the show as its most ambitious canvas yet. Their artisans, still working meticulously by hand in Fiesso d’Artico, elevated footwear from accessory to absolute statement piece.
Imagine the walk: Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, and a resplendent crew including Anok Yai and Joan Smalls, moving in unison, each step a flash of light. This was the Caovilla touch. The brand’s most iconic elements were amplified for the runway:
- The Serpent’s Seduction: Thigh-high boots and delicate sandals came alive with the sinuous, mesmerizing serpent design, an exquisite coil of crystals wrapping the leg in pure, unadulterated luxury.
- A Crystal Deluge: Every arch and strap of the bespoke mules and sandals sparkled under the lights, a testament to the brand’s fearless use of crystals.
- The 105mm Power Play: The towering 105mm heels didn’t just add height; they injected an unmistakable confidence, grounding the fantastical lingerie looks with a powerful, confident stride.
- That Signature Secret: Of course, the legendary, glitter-dusted stardust sole provided the ultimate finishing touch—a secret piece of magic visible only to those who truly appreciate the art of the perfect shoe.
This is why Caovilla is a byword for Made in Italy elegance; they don’t just make shoes, they craft dreams you can walk in.

The New Glamour is Global
The show itself was a masterclass in contemporary spectacle, perfectly aligning with VS&Co’s modern values of confidence and diversity. It wasn’t just a model parade; it was a cultural moment, underscored by an all-women musical line-up that brought down the house.
From the vibrant, genre-bending force of KAROL G and the cool R&B pulse of Madison Beer, to the legendary flow of Missy Elliott and the global pop phenomenon of TWICE, the performances were as diverse and spectacular as the models—a lineup that included veterans like Lily Aldridge and fresh faces like Yumi Nu and Alex Consani.
The fact that millions around the world could tune in live on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Prime Video—even watching the Pink Carpet on Amazon Live—proves that this fashion show has successfully morphed into a democratic, worldwide entertainment event.
René Caovilla’s return signals that true, uncompromising luxury is still the ultimate form of style currency. When you pair an international retail giant with a legacy Maison built on perfection, the resulting magic is simply undeniable. It’s a glittering reminder that in fashion, the greatest power often lies in the most exquisite detail.
