The hip-hop icon closed out the evening with a medley of her hit songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her set transformed the runway into a full-blown concert that many fans agree looked more like a Super Bowl halftime show. Models, dancers, and a visual production backed the performance. She wore a bejeweled, black ensemble with platform boots, sunglasses and sculptural hair knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fashion show stands out for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The show boasted an all-female music lineup (including Missy Elliott, Madison Beer, Karol G and TWICE) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missy Elliott\u2019s inclusion as a headliner bridges her 1990s\/2000s hip-hop legacy with today\u2019s fashion-meets-culture moment. As one outlet put it: \u201cNo one puts on a show like Missy Elliott.\u201d <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The event signals a shift for Victoria\u2019s Secret moving away from purely traditional lingerie spectacle toward a more inclusive, multimedia entertainment moment. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"386\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-11786 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Missy-Fashion-Show.jpg\" style=\"object-position:50% 17%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"50% 17%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Missy-Fashion-Show.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Missy-Fashion-Show-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#21254e\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Missy Elliott, this performance is not just another appearance, it\u2019s a reaffirmation of her place in pop culture and fashion.
