“Second year running no skips!!”
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made a dazzling return to New York City on October 15, 2025, featuring an elite lineup of supermodels and musical performances.
Among the standout moments was Neelam Gill’s stunning second appearance on the runway, marking another milestone in her trailblazing career.
The British-Indian model once again captivated global audiences, embodying glamour, confidence and representation for South Asians everywhere.
For her second consecutive year walking the show, Neelam channelled ethereal beauty in a dreamy soft pink lingerie set.
The look featured delicate shimmering panties, a coordinating bra and a sheer skirt that floated elegantly as she walked.
Adding a touch of fantasy, she sported fairytale-inspired wings that gave her ensemble a distinctive “fairytopia” feel.
Her dark tresses were styled into a sleek high ponytail, while warm brown tones and subtle highlighter accentuated her natural radiance.
Diet Paratha, known for celebrating South Asian talent, celebrated Neelam’s achievement on Instagram, writing, “second year running no skips!!”
The model’s return to the iconic runway resonated deeply across the South Asian community, with influencers and fans alike expressing pride and admiration for her continued success.
Many hailed her as a symbol of Punjabi representation on one of fashion’s most prestigious stages.
The 30-year-old Coventry-born star first made her Victoria’s Secret debut in 2024, wearing an icy blue ensemble complete with holographic angel wings and diamond cuff earrings.
Her appearance last year marked a breakthrough moment, as she became one of the few South Asian women to grace the brand’s runway twice in a row.
In both appearances, Neelam brought her signature poise and versatility, redefining what modern beauty looks like on a global stage.
Born in 1995 to Sikh grandparents from Punjab, Neelam’s modelling journey began at 13 during The Clothes Show Live.
She signed with NEXT Model Management soon after and by 18, had already made history as the first Indian model to feature in a Burberry campaign during London Fashion Week.
Her portfolio has since spanned campaigns with Abercrombie & Fitch, L’Oréal Paris, and runway appearances for designers such as Kanye West, Rohit Bal, and Dior.

The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was every bit as glamorous as expected, featuring a star-studded cast including Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham, Candice Swanepoel, Alex Consani, Jasmine Tookes and Paloma Elsesser.
Musical performances by TWICE and Madison Beer added to the spectacle, creating an atmosphere of pure celebration.
For Neelam Gill, the moment was more than just another runway appearance.
It was a continuation of her legacy as a pioneer for South Asian models and a reminder of how far inclusivity in fashion has come.
Her presence at Victoria’s Secret for the second year running solidified her status as not just a model, but an icon of representation, beauty and empowerment.
