Which model opened Victoria’s Secret’s 2000 Fashion Show?

Gisele Bündchen opened Victoria’s Secret’s 2000 Fashion Show.

Gisele Bündchen opened the 2000 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, one of the early runway presentations that helped establish the event’s model-driven identity. The show was held in Cannes, France, and featured a theatrical presentation of the company’s lingerie collections.

The 2000 event is distinct from the 2001 show, which became the first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show broadcast on television. Bündchen was one of the most prominent models associated with Victoria’s Secret during this period, while Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum also became strongly identified with the brand’s runway era.
