Adrianne Curry blasted Victoria's Secret for the runway appearances of Kylie Jenner and Alex Consani at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

During a YouTube live stream on Monday (Oct. 19), the 44-year-old America's Next Top Model season one winner criticized the brand's direction and shared her frustrations alleging the brand selects established celebrities and influencers over unknown talent and models.

"They have no standards anymore and it's a joke. Anyone can walk in it,” Curry said in near the 52-minute mark in the video linked here. “They turn down famous Victoria’s Secret models who fucking look great to put a transgender person in there and a fucking Kardashian.”

She then turned her criticism to Consani, who is transgender, saying, “Dude, it'd be one thing if the trans model looked like a fucking lady boy from Bangkok where you couldn't tell at all and it's like the most beautiful fucking woman you've ever seen in your life. That's not what happened.”

Contrasting the current event with earlier eras, she added, "The Victoria's Secret pre-2008 meant something. It meant that you were the cream of the crop. You were Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford in her prime. It's like they just hire anyone to go up there now. There is nothing elite about it.”

Curry then said Jenner does not have “a model’s body” and that she isn’t sure why she was honored with the Fantasy Bra.

“That's for the belle of the ball. That is for the top Victoria's Secret angel. That is like winning homecoming queen. And they just give it to Jenner? Like, get the fuck out of here. Victoria's Secret is a joke,” she added.

The former model claims that the brand is “virtue signaling,” suggesting that someone with missing limbs could qualify to appear during the fashion show.

The 2026 edition of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in Los Angeles on Sunday and featured several other non-modeling personalities such as Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, and KATSEYE.
