Megan Moroney’s wings nearly topple glamorous Victoria’s Secret bombshells during catwalk blunder

There was an unexpected hazard on the runway at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. 

Two models found themselves dodging Megan Moroney’s large, fluffy pink wings as they strutted down the catwalk during the singer’s performance. 

Moroney, 29, was one of the musical artists delighting audiences as the Angels stormed the runway – but it seems her wingspan could have adjusted before she joined the models on stage. 

As Moroney sang, she seemed unaware of just how disruptive her wings were to the two models – with one even tilting her head to avoid colliding into the feathered accessories.  

‘megan moroney don’t care how many of the models she hits or covers with her wings don’t ever bring her back actually,’ one X remarked of the distraction. 

‘[Megan] kept getting in their way,’ another X user posted.

‘people saying that katseye had the worst performance when megan moroney is right there blocking the models with her big ass wings,’ another quipped. 

‘who in the right mind decided to give megan moroney WINGS,’ another asked with sobbing emojis.

The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Moroney for comment but has not yet heard back.  

The iconic event also featured musical performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Katseye and Tate McRae. 

The show marked its third year back following a six-year hiatus that threatened the future of the iconic lingerie brand.

However, the excitement hasn’t been entirely without controversy, as some big names were noticeably snubbed from the glittering line-up of models.

Earlier this month, fans of the show vowed to boycott the event after several beloved supermodels were rejected from walking the catwalk. 

Romee Strijd, 31, was among the first to detail her last-minute rejection from appearing at the show.

She took to TikTok to explain that she had attended the casting call in New York in September.

‘I trained for it this summer because I had to put a bit more energy in it since I’ve got two kids and you know how it goes – your body needs a little bit more working out than before. I felt like I wanted to do the show again even after kids because it felt like the right timing.’

Strijd, who appeared in the brand’s annual fashion show from 2014 to 2018, claimed that she then did not hear back from organizers ‘for weeks,’ which had been a ‘rollercoaster’ and ‘mentally exhausting.’

But less than an hour later, the beauty took to the video-sharing platform again with a tearful update and explained that she had just received a rejection from appearing at the show.

Re-enacting her conversation with her agent, she said she was told: ‘You were great, but they thought you wouldn’t fit in the show this year.’

The Dutch supermodel said there was confusion over the reasons behind her being turned down but that she had ‘closed the chapter.’

‘I don’t think I am going to cast any more in the future [for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show] because I don’t like the way it went, I don’t like how the whole process went, I don’t like the way I was treated and I would love to keep the positive memories of VS,’ she concluded.

And she wasn’t the only one. Fellow former angel Frida Aasen, 31, commented on Strijd’s video with an update of her own.

The Norwegian beauty, who walked in 2017 and 2018, wrote: ‘I’m so sad you didn’t get it! I also went to the casting and it was a no. It sucks but sending you lots of love.’

As news of their absences began to circulate on social media, dozens of fashion lovers vowed to boycott the show.

‘Doesn’t fit with the show?! You ARE the show,’ one wrote.

‘I’m devastated. You literally embody angel energy, there’s so many other people out here rooting for you, this is so unprofessional having you there would’ve been such a highlight!’ another added.

The show, which debuted in 1995, returned in 2024 following a six-year hiatus. Last year’s runway featured familiar faces including Hadid and Lima, the brand’s longest-serving Angel.

WNBA star Angel Reese made history as the first professional athlete to walk in the show, while Jasmine Tookes showed off her baby bump on the runway.

For decades, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was one of the most coveted runway events.

It first kicked off in 1995 and immediately attracted immense buzz, with some of the biggest models on the globe walking in the fashion show.

By 2001 it was being broadcast live on television, and each year, millions tuned in to watch the stunning models strut their stuff and the A-list performers dazzle on stage.

But in 2019, after more than two decades of it reigning supreme, the annual show was canceled amidst immense criticism over the brand’s lack of diversity when it comes to body types before then-chief marketing officer Ed Razek’s eyebrow-raising comments about trans and plus-sized models.

In 2024, the Angels returned to the catwalk after a six year hiatus with a more diverse roster including plus-size models, such as Ashley Graham, and transgender models.

However, the show was derided as lackluster and lacking the traditional glamour for which the brand was known.

By 2025, Victoria’s Secret’s new CEO Hillary Super announced plans to return to its ‘unapologetically sexy’ branding and move away from its woke rebrand.

The lingerie company embraced its bombshell roots after years of struggling sales and a tepid response to its diverse catwalk the year prior.
