National Bombshells’ Day
Confidence looks different on everyone, and National Bombshells’ Day leans into that truth. This upbeat day invites women to feel good about themselves, inside and out.
It’s about honoring beauty in all forms—loud or quiet, bold or calm. There’s no mold to fit, no standard to chase. Whether someone rocks red lipstick or prefers a bare face, they’re part of what this day uplifts.
Support takes center stage here. Friends cheer each other on, and women lift one another up with words, gestures, or simple smiles.
The focus shifts from comparison to connection. It’s not about standing out alone but rising together. Confidence grows louder in a crowd that celebrates every kind of strength.

History of National Bombshells’ Day
Victoria’s Secret launched National Bombshells’ Day in 2015. The company wanted to create a fun way to uplift women everywhere.
It picked the first Saturday of May as a time to celebrate beauty, strength, and confidence. This day invites women to feel proud of who they are and to lift up their friends at the same time.
The word “bombshell” has long been linked to bold, confident women. Think of those who walk into a room and own it—without saying a word.
This day leans into that idea, but with a modern twist. It’s not just about looks. It’s about presence, power, and self-worth. Whether someone feels glamorous or laid-back, their energy matters.
Victoria’s Secret used the day to connect with women through fashion, events, and messages of encouragement.
Over time, the idea spread beyond ads and shopping. Now, many use it as a reason to pause and celebrate the women who make their lives brighter.
Friends send each other notes. Families plan little surprises. Strangers offer compliments. It’s all part of a bigger picture—reminding women that they matter, exactly as they are. And that kind of reminder? It never goes out of style.
