Bella Hadid is a true angel for carrying all that weight.
The supermodel revealed just how heavy her wings were when she walked the runway for the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 15.
In a photo shared to her Instagram Story, Bella stood at the end of the catwalk in one of the looks she wore for the big event, which included a silver metallic lingerie getup with fringe detailing and a pair of giant, fluffy white wings strapped to her back. To top off her look, the 29-year-old accessorized with diamond drop earrings and styled her blonde hair in a sleek side part.
"OK we're going to pretend these wings weren't 50 pounds," Bella wrote alongside the image, "but HOW BEAUTIFUL."
Indeed, her silver ensemble wasn't the only time she turned heads on the runway. After all, Bella—whose sister Gigi Hadid also gave it her all on the Victoria's Secret runway—looked equally stunning when she strutted out in a red lace bra and matching underwear during Karol G's performance.
Of course, the Orebella founder isn't the only Victoria's Secret Angel to have donned a heavy pair of wings for the annual extravaganza.
Back in 2014, Alessandra Ambrosio estimated that her 2011 jewel-encrusted flappers weighed in at almost 60 pounds during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Plus, Barbara Palvin revealed that she donned 40-pound wings while making her way down the catwalk in 2024.
As for how the models guarantee they can cross the stage successfully with such heavy appendages? They adhere to a strict training routine for months leading up the show, as well as make sure they're eating the right foods for maximum strength.
"I’ve been eating hard protein every day, and working out for three hours every day," Bella told People before walking the runway for the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. "It’s crazy but I think that you know if you set your mind to something I think you can succeed.”
