Chanel Iman hasn’t forgotten her Victoria’s Secret days. The supermodel and entrepreneur, 34, told Us Weekly exclusively that she is open to returning to the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, where she walked as an Angel for several years, under the right circumstances. “It would take the gym for me to feel confident enough to go back on the runway, but as we grow older, we change [and] we evolve” Iman said while discussing the holiday collection of her home and lifestyle brand, CHASA. “I would just need some time ahead of time in order for me to return. I can’t be booked last minute. I don’t know if we’re there yet after three kids.” Iman shares daughters, Cali, 7, and Cassie, 5, with ex-husband Sterling Shepard and daughter, Capri, 2, with husband Davon Godchaux. The supermodel and mother of three said that she would need “at least three months to know that [the show] is coming” and she’ll “be back on that runway” alongside former Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, and Jasmine Tookes, who walked at the 2025 show. Iman may not have put on her Angel wings this year, but she is leaning into her family and career with the launch of her latest clothing collection. Designed by the supermodel, the collection features classic pajamas that can be worn all year. Iman told Us she brought her decades-long fashion experience and vision to her designs. “My holiday tradition has always been ordering matching pajamas for the family,” the mother of three shared. “This collection was really created for everyone to [match] and feel cozy. I wanted to design something that was timeless that you can wear throughout the entire year. My favorite…color of choice [is] black. Black is always a go-to in my everyday life. [The pajamas] also come in the navy, which I felt like we needed a rich navy for the holiday season, but it also can be [worn] throughout the year, too.” Iman appears alongside her daughters in the CHASA campaign, where the girls channel their supermodel mom in matching pajamas. The model told Us that her daughters are excited to celebrate the holiday season and often make gifts for Iman, like “cards or bracelets.” “They get so excited to give to me as much as I’m giving to them,” Iman gushed.“I think our family — we are all givers here — we always try to figure out what we [can] give to each other [to] make each other feel special. [The kids] are wonderful during the holidays. Before Christmas, we donate a lot of their things, their toys and things like that, and they’re able to enjoy the newer things that they get underneath the Christmas tree.” This year, Iman plans to celebrate the holidays in New Orleans where Godchaux, 30, plays for the New Orleans Saints. The family is preparing to indulge in more than their fair share of Creole food, games and quality time. “I always cook so I’m making tons of soul food for my family,” Iman shared about the upcoming holiday. “My husband plays for the Saints, so we’ll be eating a lot of Creole, jambalaya, gumbo, Cajun kind of food, and I cannot wait for it. We love playing games. I grew up playing lots of gift games. My favorite thing is just spending quality time with the family. It’s nice when we all can be together and really enjoy each other.”
