On her Instagram account, in a powder pink corset with a vintage feel, the American "plus-size" model Paloma Elsesser signs off a look that is as soft as it is striking.
A powder pink corset that's causing a sensation
The timing couldn't have been better: a delicate, powder-pink corset with a structured silhouette and meticulous finishing touches, in a distinctly vintage style. A soft shade, both retro and romantic, that looks like it came straight out of a Hollywood boudoir. On Instagram, the photo immediately sparked a flurry of comments, where her followers praised the confidence with which Paloma Elsesser wears the garment.
A teaser for Victoria's Secret
To accompany her post, Paloma Elsesser opted for a short but explicit caption: "City of Angels!!! Calling all angels!!!" This was accompanied by a mention of the Victoria's Secret brand. A clear reference to Los Angeles' nickname, as well as to the call for "angels" recently launched by the American brand, which is currently preparing its 2026 fashion show and its new cast. Fans were quick to decipher this teaser: bets are already flying about the location and lineup of the next show.
