Bella Hadid’s After‑Party Outfit Channels Britney Spears

The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show unfolded in Los Angeles with a lineup of top models strutting down the runway, including Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Anok Yai and Alex Consani, all wearing the brand’s signature angel wings. While the televised show drew the most attention, the official after‑party at the Chateau Marmont proved equally glamorous.

When the runway lights dimmed, the Angels headed to the private celebration, where they swapped lingerie for party attire. Bella Hadid arrived in a black lace body‑con mini dress that revealed a matching black bra and briefs through its sheer fabric. She completed the look with sleek black sunglasses and pointed heels.

Hadid’s monochrome ensemble evoked a memorable pop‑culture moment: Britney Spears’ iconic outfit at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, where the singer wore a tiny Dolce & Gabbana lace dress. The reference resonated especially because Tate McRae, who performed on the VS runway, recreated a similar style at the 2024 MTV VMAs.

The model’s fresh, night‑out look capped a busy weekend of lingerie‑focused fashion, hinting at trends expected to dominate the spring 2027 runway. With Halloween approaching, Hadid’s nod to Spears also sparks ideas for other legendary red‑carpet costumes, from Björk’s swan dress to Celine Dion’s backward tuxedo, reminding fans that the possibilities are endless.
