Bella Hadid Says 50-Pound Wings Slowed Her Victoria’s Secret Finale Walk

Her update followed concern about a runway return so soon after a September hospitalization for chronic Lyme disease.

Overview

  • Hadid closed the revived Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn wearing large angel wings and was seen moving more slowly while gripping the straps.
  • In a now-expired Instagram Story, she said the wings weighed about 50 pounds (roughly 23 kilograms), according to multiple outlets.
  • Some viewers feared her struggle signaled health issues after recent treatment, while others noted that Victoria’s Secret closing wings are traditionally heavy.
  • She completed the runway pass and maintained composure despite the apparent difficulty.
  • This was her first major runway appearance since being hospitalized in September for complications related to chronic Lyme disease, which she has managed for years.
