How To Throw The Cutest Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Watch Party

Some occasions call for a little extra effort: the good glasses, the matching pajamas, the blowout you technically didn't need. A Victoria's Secret Fashion Show watch party is one of them. There's something wonderfully girly about gathering your friends for what we consider the Super Bowl for the girls and eating chocolate-covered strawberries in satin pajamas. Make an evening of it. Send the invitation. Put a bow on something. The 2026 show streams live from Los Angeles on Sunday, October 18, at 7:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. CT / 4:30 p.m. PT , with free viewing on Victoria's Secret's official YouTube channel. Musical performers include Tate McRae , Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion, and KATSEYE. Here's how we'd turn it into the prettiest girls' night of the fall.

We only recommend products we genuinely love. Start With A Pink Pajama Dress Code The vision: a grown-up sleepover with a little backstage glamour. Ask everyone to wear pink, cream, or black pajamas. Satin button-down sets, cotton pajamas with pretty piping, a nightgown with a robe, or a favorite cami and lounge pants all fit the mood. Matching sets make for an adorable group photo, but coordinating colors give everyone room to wear something she already loves so you can snap photos together. It's 2016 all over again! Finish with fluffy slippers, a ribbon in your hair, or a pair of little pearl earrings. If you want the classic bombshell look, arrive with bouncy hair, rosy cheeks, and glossy lips. Staying home is a perfectly good reason to get ready. Shop the pajama-party look: Next Pink Hearts Ballet Slippers : Little ballet-style slippers with pink and red hearts, sweet with a nightgown or a matching set. Victoria's Secret Shimmer Gloss : A pretty little treat to tuck into each girlfriend's party favor bag, with just enough shimmer for that bombshell glossy lip. Victoria's Secret Signature Satin Long Pajama Set : Our pick for classic backstage glamour. Choose one of the pink-stripe options in the color selector. Eberjey Gisele Rose Garden Relaxed Short PJ Set : A pink floral alternative for the girl whose idea of a perfect sleepover includes a bouquet on her nightstand. Want more pretty pajama sets ? For the invitation, keep it sweet: "You're invited to an Angel night in. Wear your prettiest pajamas; I'll bring the pink drinks." Give Your Living Room The Pink-Suite Treatment Choose blush pink, cream, and touches of black as your palette. Think striped packaging, soft lamplight, and a dressing table covered in pretty things. Drape a pink tablecloth over your snack table, put roses or carnations in small vases, and bring out your cake stand. Tie slim ribbons around napkins or the stems of your glasses. A few thoughtful details will make even takeout feel like an occasion. Shop the pretty details: Meri Meri Pink Bow Napkins : An easy way to dress up the snack table, especially if you're using plain white plates. Victoria's Secret Single Wick Candle : A sweet little glow for the coffee table, and an easy, affordable favor to send each of your girlfriends home with. LoveShackFancy Forever in Love Candle : Pear and gardenia in pink floral glass with a gold rim. We'd place it on a side table for a little glow while everyone settles in. LoveShackFancy Pink Bow Vase at Pottery Barn : A decorative splurge for your flowers that can stay on display long after the party. For a photo corner, hang a pink fabric backdrop or use a tidy stretch of wall with a bow garland. Leave enough space for everyone to squeeze into a group picture. Keep the seating comfortable and facing the screen. Put extra pillows and blankets within reach, and test the stream before anyone arrives. The prettiest room in the world still needs working sound. Serve A Menu That's Pretty And Actually Satisfying A little pink is delightful. An entire dinner made of frosting is less so. Build your menu around something savory, something sweet, and one signature drink. For a small group, that could mean mini sandwiches, a generous snack board, chocolate-covered strawberries, and raspberry spritzes. A few ideas to mix and match: Mini croissant sandwiches: Fill with chicken salad, turkey and cheese, or mozzarella, tomato, and pesto. A pretty grazing board: Arrange cheeses, crackers, grapes, berries, olives, and sliced baguette on a platter. Popcorn in pink paper cups: Set out bowls of sweet and salty toppings so guests can customize their own. Chocolate-covered strawberries: Make them earlier in the day and refrigerate until serving. A bow cake: Buy a small cake and decorate its stand with ribbon, or order one with pink piping. Berry dessert cups: Layer whipped cream, crushed cookies, and strawberries in little glasses. If you'd rather order pizza, order pizza. Transfer the sides to serving dishes, add flowers, and let dessert do the decorating. Make A Signature Pink Drink For an easy raspberry spritz, add a splash of raspberry syrup and a squeeze of lemon to a glass with ice, then top with sparkling water. Garnish with raspberries and a lemon twist. For guests who want a cocktail, use Prosecco in place of some of the sparkling water. Offer still water, too, and put drinks somewhere guests can help themselves without walking in front of the television. The presentation is half the fun: pretty glassware, a little tray, and a handwritten "Pink Carpet Spritz" sign. Our glassware pick: Lepelclub Bow Coupe Glasses at Anthropologie . Choose pink for the full effect, and fill with your raspberry spritz just before guests arrive. Add A Little Supermodel-Inspired Movement Want to bring a little of that runway inspiration into your own routine? Download 28 Wellness , the cycle-based fitness and wellness app developed with supermodel trainers and medical experts. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Penny Lane works out with you, making it a fitting addition to an evening dedicated to all things feminine. The workouts emphasize sculpting, strength, and flexibility through controlled movements, with daily sessions tailored to your cycle. If your goal is a lean, toned look, it's an approachable place to start. The app also offers nutrition guidance designed to support hormone health and insights into the cycle changes that can affect your energy, mood, and skin. The workouts are designed by the supermodel trainers to help you slim down without bulking. Make it an optional pre-party ritual: choose the workout recommended for your day, move together before getting dressed, then shower, slip into your pajamas, and settle in for the show. Or save your first session for the following morning, when those runway looks have you feeling inspired. Download 28: iPhone , Android 28 Wellness was co-founded by Evie's founder, Brittany Hugoboom. Make Getting Ready Part Of The Party Invite friends over about an hour before the broadcast. Set up a small getting-ready station with mirrors, hair bows, and a few spare clips. Everyone can bring her own makeup and favorite hair tools. For an easy finishing touch, try the Kitsch Cream Satin Bow Hair Clip . Clip it into a half-up hairstyle or above a ponytail; it also makes a sweet little hostess gift. Play a getting-ready playlist, pour the first drinks, and take photos with a cute film camera before settling in. If you're hosting in LA, remember that this is an afternoon gathering. Make it a late lunch with spritzes and dessert. In New York, it lends itself to dinner and a cozy evening. Give Everyone A Reason To Put Their Phone Down Before the show, have everyone predict her favorite look or performance. Make little cards with categories like "Best Wings," "Look I'd Steal," and "Favorite Runway Moment," then compare answers afterward. You can also guess which of the top 10 Victoria's Secret model hopefuls walk the runway. Keep the games light enough that everyone can enjoy the broadcast. Save the group runway walk for after the show, when slippers can become very serious fashion footwear. For a tiny parting gift, place a hair bow or scrunchie at each seat with a handwritten note. Something sweet and personal is plenty. Want To Watch With A Crowd?
