Eva Herzigova slayed the runway while wearing a black push-up bra and sheer lace dress while walking at the iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday.
The model, 51, walked in the lingerie show 30 years after finding fame modeling a black bra for Wonderbra’s iconic 1994 ‘Hello Boys’ ad and billboards that literally stopped traffic.
And when the lingerie brand’s show returned for the first time in six years, Eva looked nothing short of sensational as she donned the lace bra and thong.
She added a long, sheer one-shoulder and one-leg set, which featured floral details, over the lingerie.
Eva held her own on the New York catwalk as she strutted her stuff in a pair of sky-high strappy heels and accessorized with a pair of dazzling large silver flower earrings.
Eva Herzigova slayed the runway in a black push-up bra and sheer lace dress while walking at the iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday.
The model, 51, rose to fame in 1994 when she modeled a black bra for Wonderbra’s iconic ‘Hello Boys’ advert and billboards that literally stopped traffic.
Before the show, the Czech model was seen doing her final touch-ups backstage while a crew member applied lip gloss and body gloss.
Taking to Instagram, the beauty shared a video of herself walking at the show and backstage and wrote: ‘Show time! Thank you @victoriassecret for having me again. “I am very proud to be part of this special occasion that celebrates and enhances the sensuality and beauty of women.”
It comes after Eva defended her Wonderbra advert after it was criticized by women who believed it was degrading.
The model said that the lingerie campaign was actually “empowering” and that because it “caused a sensation, you can still see its influence today.”
Speaking to the Evening Standard in 2014, he said: ‘My Wonderbra campaign empowered women. It did not degrade them as some said or claim.
“It was controversial at the time, sure, but it made a splash and its influence can still be seen today.”
“It was one of the most successful advertising campaigns in history and I am very proud to be a part of it.”
The ad, which was photographed by Ellen von Unwerth and featured Eva posing in a Wonderbra and black pants, was certainly controversial.

Much of the controversy centered on traffic accidents, with some travelers blaming the huge roadside sign for their lack of concentration.
Others claimed the risqué ad was derogatory towards women, even as they flocked to buy the bra in their millions.
Despite the controversy, the ad’s creators were honored in 2011, when the poster was declared the most eye-catching ad of the previous 20 years.
During the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Gigi Hadid opened the show wearing the iconic angel wings.
The 2024 show also featured the return of Victoria’s Secret veterans Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima, as well as next-generation icons Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin.
Cher was the night’s headliner alongside Blackpink alum Lisa and rising star Tyla, marking the show’s first all-female music lineup.
Legendary supermodel Tyra Banks closed the show while Gigi’s younger sister Bella Hadid, who fans hailed as the “queen” of the Victoria’s Secret runway, made a surprise cameo in head-to-toe red lingerie.
The show’s long-awaited revival comes three years after the lingerie brand’s controversial body-positive rebranding in 2021.
The iconic Victoria’s Secret Angels were replaced by ‘ambassadors’ like soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the company fired its former CEO in the wake of falling sales and an explosive revelation that accused the company of misogyny, sexual harassment and intimidation.
