No Facetune. No filter. No airbrush. Just thirteen of the most famous women in fashion, photographed exactly as they looked under the runway lights. And guess what? They still look like angels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Nico Grey. I run a film studio, I run Scandal Planet, and I\u2019ve spent more hours than I can count in edit suites watching retouchers smooth skin until it looks like plastic. So when the unedited photos from last weekend\u2019s Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show started flying around the internet, I didn\u2019t scroll past. I zoomed in. And I loved what I saw.<\/p>\n

Why everyone is suddenly zooming in<\/h2>\n

The show took place on Sunday, October 18, at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, the brand\u2019s first return to Los Angeles in 19 years, W Magazine<\/a> reported. Two days later, BuzzFeed\u2019s Stephanie Soteriou rounded up a set of completely unedited and unfiltered agency photos<\/a> from the night, with a line that pretty much sums up the whole craze: \u201cBecause it\u2019s nice to know that even Victoria\u2019s Secret models have skin texture.\u201d Croatia\u2019s Index.hr<\/a> picked up the same set on October 20, writing that in the age of filters it\u2019s getting harder to tell what\u2019s real, so it\u2019s \u201crefreshing\u201d to see the models without retouching.<\/p>\n

And the internet did what the internet does. On Reddit, r\/Instagramreality has been posting raw agency shots next to polished Instagram versions for years. One classic thread is literally called \u201cSkin texture! (thanks Getty Images)\u201d<\/a>. This week the same conversation exploded all over again, in comment sections, fan forums and group chats. The mood I keep seeing? Not \u201cgotcha.\u201d Relief. People are saying these women look better<\/em> real.<\/p>\n

Kylie Jenner: $50 million of diamonds, zero Facetune<\/h2>\n

The biggest surprise of the night was Kylie Jenner<\/a>, who made her Victoria\u2019s Secret runway debut in the $50 million Fantasy Bra, made with jeweler Jacob & Co. It was the first time the Fantasy Bra had been on the runway since 2018, Elle<\/a> reported, with Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet watching from the audience. In the raw photo she\u2019s glowing: real skin, real shadows from the lights, giant white wings. She looks like a movie poster before anyone has touched it.<\/p>\n

Adriana Lima: the queen needs no edits<\/h2>\n

Adriana Lima<\/a> is the definition of a Victoria\u2019s Secret Angel, and she walked again this year, in electric green lace. Here\u2019s what struck me in the unedited shot: the confidence. That\u2019s not something a retoucher can paint in. Some faces have been in front of cameras for so long they don\u2019t need help from software.<\/p>\n

Barbara Palvin: six weeks after giving birth<\/h2>\n

This was the moment that made people\u2019s jaws drop. Barbara Palvin walked the runway just six weeks after giving birth to her first child with husband Dylan Sprouse, BuzzFeed and Index.hr both reported. BuzzFeed\u2019s roundup of viral moments<\/a> noted that Sprouse looked just as in awe as the rest of us. In the raw photo, there\u2019s no trick. Just a new mom in pink lace owning the catwalk. Honestly? Iconic.<\/p>\n

The Hadid sisters, untouched<\/h2>\n

Bella Hadid opened the show, her long-awaited return to the runway, in petal-green with wings covered in flora and fauna, according to Elle. Gigi Hadid walked during Tate McRae\u2019s live debut of \u201cHousewife\u201d (we covered Tate\u2019s butterfly-bra moment here<\/a>). Two sisters, two very different energies, and neither needs a filter. In the raw shots you can see the sparkle actually catching the light, the way it does when you\u2019re standing in the room.<\/p>\n

Real curves, real confidence<\/h2>\n

For me, this is where the unedited set really wins. Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser, Precious Lee and Yumi Nu all walked, and their raw photos are some of the most shared of the whole set. Graham and Elsesser were also part of the casting team, with Gigi and creative director Adam Selman, on the YouTube series \u201cAngels Among Us,\u201d which invited 1,200 women to compete for a spot in the show, W Magazine reported. The winner, Solange Omon, made her runway debut in black-and-white lace and gilded wings, per Elle. That\u2019s the new Victoria\u2019s Secret in one sentence: more kinds of beautiful, shown as they are.<\/p>\n

The legends and the new faces<\/h2>\n

Alessandra Ambrosio was back among the Victoria\u2019s Secret stalwarts, alongside Candice Swanepoel and Adriana, W Magazine noted, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley had her first VS moment in 16 years. The unedited set also features Devyn Garcia, Breanna Ivy, Iris Law and Yumi Nu. \u201cThis is not a heritage show,\u201d Selman told W. Looking at these photos, I believe him.<\/p>\n

My take: real beats retouched, every time<\/h2>\n

This section is my opinion, not reporting. Nico Grey.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m the AI guy. I use every new tool the day it launches, and I know exactly how easy it is to make anyone look \u201cperfect\u201d in two clicks. That\u2019s the point. When perfect is free, perfect gets boring. What people are reacting to in these photos is the thing software can\u2019t fake: a real woman, under hot lights, in heels, in front of thousands of people, nailing it. Skin that looks like skin. Bodies that move. A new mom six weeks out. Nothing to hide there. That\u2019s the show.<\/p>\n

As someone who runs shoots for a living, here\u2019s my honest advice to every brand out there: stop over-editing. Your audience can tell, and this week proved they actually prefer the real thing. These women were stunning on Sunday night, and they\u2019re stunning in the raw photos. Same women. Same angels.<\/p>\n
