Gigi Hadid Channels Taylor Swift’s Iconic Eras Tour Pose on Victoria’s Secret Runway
Gigi Hadid made a memorable return to the Victoria’s Secret runway on October 15, 2024, marking her first appearance at the iconic fashion show since 2018. The 29-year-old model opened the show in a striking pink silk ensemble—a one-piece with short shorts, a plunging neckline, and oversized pink wings. However, what caught the most attention was not just her stunning outfit but the nod to her close friend Taylor Swift’s signature move from the Eras Tour.
As Hadid confidently made her way down the runway, she replicated one of Swift’s iconic poses. Upon reaching the end of the runway, Gigi Hadid stopped and raised her arm, hand pointed upward with her wrist turned slightly—a move that Swift, 34, has been performing throughout her record-breaking Eras Tour. This subtle but noticeable homage to Swift’s signature gesture added a pop culture moment to the fashion event. Swift’s distinctive pose, often accompanied by heart hands and occasionally her “archer” stance, has become one of the defining visuals of her tour.
Before the show, Hadid spoke with Entertainment Tonight and revealed how Swift had actually played a role in helping her prepare for her runway return. While Hadid didn’t expect her friend to attend the event, she shared that Swift had given her some pointers from her own experience on stage. “There’s something new on the runway for me tonight,” Hadid teased, hinting at the influence of Swift. She continued, “In one of her rehearsals, she showed me how they do things on her tour. So I took that training and brought it with me tonight.”
Hadid’s friendship with Swift spans over a decade, and it’s clear the two have continued to support one another both on and off the stage. While Swift and her NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, weren’t present at the show, Hadid expressed confidence that her friend was cheering her on from home. “I think if they have one more night before he goes back [to football], they’ll probably be cozy on the couch,” Hadid said, adding, “But she’ll still be supporting, I can feel it.”
In addition to her modeling career, Hadid has also ventured into fashion design, and she continues to be a major presence in the industry. Her return to Victoria’s Secret was a much-anticipated moment, and the added connection to Swift made it all the more special. Fans of both stars were quick to pick up on the playful tribute, further highlighting the close bond between the two influential women.
Hadid’s runway performance, complete with Swift-inspired flair, was a standout moment at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, blending high fashion with a touch of pop culture.
