A Docuseries About Victoria's Secret's Rise and Fall Is Coming to Hulu This Summer

Victoria's Secret is getting its own documentary. Titled "Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons," the three-part docuseries detailing the lingerie empire's rise and fall is coming to Hulu on July 14, after first premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 18. The show is directed by Matt Tyrnauer, an award-winning journalist known for directing documentaries exploring the life of Valentino Garavani and Studio 54.

"Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons" will go behind the scenes of the brand's meteoric success and subsequent downfall, as well as provide insight into its former CEO, Les Wexner. While a trailer has yet to be released, the series logline is quite intriguing. "Truth is not what it seems; as the underworld of fashion, the billionaire class, and Jeffrey Epstein are revealed to all be inextricably intertwined with the fall of this legendary brand," it reads.

Victoria's Secret's annual fashion show came to an end in 2018 after a 23-year run, with promises to evolve the brand's messaging following years of criticism over its lack of body diversity. The show's viewership dropped drastically then, when former CMO Ed Razek defended the lingerie giant's problematic casting practices. When asked about the fashion show's homogeneous model selection, Razek said "transsexuals" shouldn't go down the VS runway "because the show is a fantasy."

Since then, Victoria's Secret has revamped its direction. In June 2021, the company announced it was no longer using the term "Angels" and was partnering with influential individuals across various industries instead, including Megan Rapinoe, Priyanka Chopra, Eileen Gu, and Paloma Elsesser.

"Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons" joins a documentary examining another controversial fashion brand of the early aughts, "White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch," which debuted on Netflix earlier this month.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
