Cher Stuns With ‘Strong Enough’ & ‘Believe’ Performance at 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
An iconic show needs an iconic performer to close it out. To wrap up the freshly returned Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday night (Oct. 15), Cher took the runway to deliver two of her most inspiring hits.
After a powerful choir intro, with photos of Cher from different stages in her career flashing on the back screen, the superstar appeared onstage in a sparkling black jumpsuit and matching jet-black hair. She kicked off the performance with her 1998 hit, “Strong Enough,” and delivered the emotive verses surrounded by her dancers, before belting the empowering chorus.

The 78-year-old star then strut down the runway and stepped onto a gold platform to perform her 1998 classic, “Believe,” as some of Victoria’s Secret’s most beloved models walked the runway in angel wings and classic red and pink lingerie, including Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Candice Swanepoel and, of course, Adriana Lima.
Both songs appeared on Cher’s 22nd studio album, Believe, and topped the Dance Club Songs chart — “Strong Enough” for one week and “Believe” for five weeks. “Believe” was also a four-week leader on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in 1999.
Cher headlined the all-female lineup of the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, following performances from LISA, Orianthi and Tyla.
