Victoria's Secret is officially retiring its runway wings for this year.
While the company's one-of-a-kind fashion show has been hitting the runway for more than 20 years, it won't be taking place in 2019. Stuart Burgdoerfer, the chief financial officer and executive vice president of L Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret, confirmed the show's cancellation during a conference call.
"We'll be communicating to customers, but nothing that I would say is similar in magnitude to the fashion show," he said in regard to the absence of the annual show. "But you can be sure we'll be communicating with customers through lots of vehicles including social media and various, more current platforms, if you will."
As this marks the first time the show has not gone on since 2004, when Victoria's Secret angels went on tour to four American cities, models and fans are adjusting. "Unfortunately the Victoria's Secret show won't be happening this year. It's something I'm not used to because every year around this time I'm training like an Angel," Shanina Shaik told The Daily Telegraph back in July. "But I'm sure in the future something will happen, which I'm pretty sure about."
While that future remains vague, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's standout moments are crystal clear in the memories of the brand's devoted fans—and there have been plenty of them.

While performing "Bang Bang" during the 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London, Grande had an accidental run-in with model Elsa Hosk's angel wing.

In a heartbreaking moment during the 2017 VSFS in Shanghai, the model tripped over her outfit, causing her to fall on the runway. However, she got right back up with the help of her fellow models, continued her walk and received applause from the audience. "As many of you may already know, I fell during my 5th year walking at the Victoria's Secret show yesterday. It was no doubt one of the hardest moments I have ever had to go through in my career, especially since the show was taking place in my hometown, in front of my mother's and my people's eyes," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me."
