Alex Consani walked the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” (VSFS) runway on October 15 at Steiner Studios in New York. As expected, the 2024 “Model of the Year” lived up to her title, serving confidence in two Victoria’s Secret lingerie sets.

Her first look was a bold red lingerie set with metallic wings. Later, she walked in a silver coat over a black lingerie ensemble. A day after the show, Consani shared a carousel of her runway moments and behind-the-scenes shots.

The post surpassed 1 million likes and drew over 7,000 comments. Among the flood of love and praise, Consani was hit with something she’s become all too familiar with since rising to fame—gender criticisms.

Alex Consani’s First Look For VSFS

The opening slide of the carousel showed Alex Consani’s first look for the VSFS, with her smoldering gaze that was enough to send fans into a frenzy. In the shot, she stood tall on the runway under soft red lighting.

The look featured a plunging bra and high-cut panties with shimmering bands. She wore red pants with cargo pockets over the panties, held in place by a red belt with the VS logo buckle. The red VS wings on her back, combined with her confident gaze, made her look nothing short of “fiery hot,” as one fan puts it.

Second VSFS Look

Her second look for the show had a cooler palette, but her burning gaze added enough fire to raise the temperatures.

She wore a black lace lingerie set and traded her wings for a silver jacket. The ensemble included a bra paired with sheer lace panties, completed with a garter belt that secured the see-through stockings.

Silver heels adorned her feet to match the long, shimmering silver coat that fell off her shoulder and trailed behind her. Her golden waves were parted on one side and left to fall freely around her shoulders. “You’re an absolute icon,” a fan summed her up.

Unfortunately, as fans showered her with compliments, trolls didn’t spare her either. One asked, “What is a man doing in this runway?” A second user chimed in, “You’ll still need a prostate exam.” Some of these comments had dozens of likes from other users in support.

She’s Making Waves

Alex Consani began her modeling career at just 12 years old, becoming the youngest transgender model at the time. By 2019, she had signed with IMG Models, a leading international modeling agency.

She has since worked for brands like Tom Ford, Versace, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, and many more popular brands. In 2024, she made history as the first transgender woman to win “Model of the Year” at the “Fashion Awards.”

Her collaboration with Victoria’s Secret also began in 2024, when she made history again as one of the first trans women to walk the VSFS runway. This year, she solidified her angel status by returning to the runway as a VS Angel.

At just 22, Alex Consani’s trajectory shows no sign of slowing down. She’s stamping herself as a fashion icon and making waves in the industry.
