She walked the runway in red lace and denim — but instead of applause, Barbie Ferreira's long-awaited debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show unleashed a torrent of fury online as fans slammed the brand for covering her curves.
Red Lingerie, Blue Heels… and a Denim Jacket That Ignited a Firestorm
On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, the "Euphoria" star took her first-ever solo strut down the Victoria's Secret runway as part of the buzzy "Class of Pink 2025" showcase. But as she stepped onto the runway, it wasn't the red balconette bra or matching boyshorts that got people talking — it was what covered them.
A slouchy, oversized denim jacket, thrown over her shoulders, instantly became the center of controversy. Styled with silver hoops, a red lanyard, striped crew socks, and lace-up blue stilettos, the look struck some fans as fun and fresh — but to others, it read as strategic concealment.
Her glamorous blowout and full-glam makeup added polish, but the styling sparked more outrage than admiration.
'They STILL Won't Let Her Show Off Her Curves'
What began as a proud moment for body positivity quickly spiraled into widespread online outrage. "Putting her in that jean jacket was a crime 🚨," one viewer blasted. "Why cover her, though?" asked another.

Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "Why did they make her wear a jacket to hide her body? She is BEAUTIFUL, look at how stunning she is, the definition on her and us remarkable & They cover her with a JACKET?! they still won't let her show off her curves! I hate this. Love HER, hate THIS!"
Some viewed the styling as unnecessary. "The jacket seems like an excuse. She's gorgeous and should [not] need to be 'censored,'" one commenter remarked.

Despite the backlash, many fans still flooded the comments with love for the actress — and admiration for her natural beauty. "She looks great!! Loving the natural bodies!!!" one person commented. Another added, "You're absolutely gorgeous, no shocker there. But why [did] they cover all that hot bod in a jacket?"
But others couldn't ignore what they saw as a clear shift in her appearance. "What she lost a lot of weight," one follower observed. Another suggested, "She's been working out."
Some also questioned the timing of her invitation to walk, with one person stating, "Interesting they waited until you lost weight to invite you to walk... [sic]"
