Carla Bruni just made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut!
On Tuesday, Oct. 15, the Italian-French model and singer, 56, rocked the runway in a sexy, all-black look.
Bruni — who rose to fame in the 1990s modeling for designers like Christian Dior, Chanel and Versace — left attendees at the New York City event in awe as she strutted in a corset with exposed, sparkling boning and matching, barely-there bottoms.

The model also rocked head-to-toe lace in the brand's Rose Lace Balconette Catsuit, a full-body suit featuring rose lace details, which stopped right at her ankles by her strappy, sparkling stilletos. Adding an additional touch of sparkle was Bruni's chunky hoops and, of course, wings.
Also black, the model's Angel wings featured just an outline, which was adorned with hanging beaded details.
For her glam, Bruni glowed in peachy, bright makeup including a glossy lip and eyeshadow look that perfectly complimented her brunette locks — which fell in bouncy waves.
Bruni's Victoria's Secret runway reveal comes a year after she announced that she had received her own breast cancer diagnosis four years earlier.
“I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago,” she said in her statement, which was shared in a video via sign cards. “Surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, I went through the usual treatment for this type of cancer.”
The model went on to say that she was “lucky” as her cancer was found when it was “not yet aggressive.”

“Why wasn’t it aggressive? Because it didn’t have time to become aggressive,” Bruni said. “Every year, on the same date, I do a mammogram. If I hadn’t done one every year, I wouldn’t have a left breast today.”
She added that she "hesitated" sharing her diagnosis but ultimately wanted to "a fundamental message for all the women who will read this: Do your mammograms every year. Do your mammograms. Your lives depend on it."
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. ET on Prime Video or Victoria's Secret YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
