What event replaced the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2004?

The Angels Across America Tour replaced the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2004.

Victoria’s Secret did not stage its usual runway production that year. Instead, the company sent its models on a promotional tour across the United States called Angels Across America.

The decision came during a period when the brand was dealing with changing television standards and criticism surrounding the televised fashion show. The tour allowed Victoria’s Secret to continue promoting its Angels and products without producing the regular large-scale broadcast runway event.

The 2004 interruption is distinct from the show’s later cancellation after 2018. The annual event returned in 2005 and continued for many years before the brand discontinued the traditional format.
