The Namibian-born model first hit the Victoria’s Secret runway in 2007, and she’s walked the Victoria’s Secret runway a total of 12 times.  

While preparing for this year’s show, she was featured in a behind-the-scenes Page Six Instagram reel, where she was asked which songs she currently has on repeat. 

Behati revealed she’s currently obsessed with Maroon 5’s Love Is Like album. 

“Probably my husband’s music because he just brought up a new album, so All Night is a good one. I also am always listening to Sublime. So, that’s why it’s on repeat,” she said.

But what really caught fans’ attention was her appearance. Social media lit up almost instantly. 

One fan wrote, “She looks so different.” Another asked, “Did she get an eyelift? No judgement, but she does look different.”

Others chimed in with disbelief: “WHO IS THAT?” and “That’s NOT HER!!!!”

The confusion spread quickly across comment sections, as many noted her darker tan and subtly refreshed features. Despite all this, however, fans couldn’t deny she looked stunning, especially when she hit the runway and reminded everyone why she is a supermodel.

According to the Daily Mail, Behati’s first look featured a black bra with a sheer gold lace overlay, matching bottoms, and a massive, flowing gold cape that shimmered under the lights. 

Her brunette waves added to the ensemble’s ethereal vibe.

Her second outfit switched gears completely. She came out wearing a sheer blue lace nightgown with a high slit that was paired with open-toed heels, sparkling earrings, and dreamy sheer blue wings that floated behind her. 

In a way, Behati’s appearance in this year’s VS show became a reminder of what made her an Angel in the first place.

In a past interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she once described what that honor meant to her. 

“There’s such a small amount of girls who are part of it, and they have such amazing and hardworking reputations.”

“I remember when I started with the brand in 2007 how much I looked up to the women. It’s such an amazing place where you want to be as a model. It’s a career goal,” she said.

The Angel has reflected on family life and a full-circle moment

While her look had everyone talking, Prinsloo’s comments backstage also reminded fans why she became one of the brand’s most notable Angels. 

Speaking to E! News, the mom-of-three gushed about her children: Dusty Rose, 9, Gio Grace, 7, and her two-year-old son, who were watching the show from home.

“The family are great, they’re all going to watch from home,” she shared. “They’re super excited. It’s always fun for the girls to see the wings, and all the glamour.”

When asked if her daughters wanted to follow in her footsteps, Behati stated that they’re still too young to think about careers, and her children are looking at their future selves in the way kids typically do.

“Right now, I think my daughter is like, ‘I want to be an artist! Or a basketball player!’ But they love it,” she told the outlet.

Behati first became an Angel in 2009, and she later opened the show in both 2014 and 2015. She also married Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine in 2014.

Following these milestones, she took a three-year break before returning to the Victoria’s Secret runway in 2018. This was followed by another hiatus, which lasted until she made her return in 2024.
