The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show typically lasts between 40 minutes to an hour. The recent editions in 2024 and 2025 followed this duration, with the 2024 live-streamed show lasting about 40 minutes. The 2025 show also aired with an expected timeframe within this range. In addition to the main event, there is usually a pre-show segment called the "Pink Carpet" that starts about 30 minutes before the main runway show, featuring celebrity arrivals and backstage glimpses. The main runway show itself begins at 7 p.m. ET and runs for roughly 40 to 60 minutes, encompassing fashion segments and live musical performances by various artists.

Hence, if planning to watch or attend, allocate roughly an hour including the pre-show for the full experience.
