Yesterday marked one of the most highly anticipated, and most talked about fashion shows of the year. The Victoria Secret fashion show took place in New York and boasted an impressive line-up of models and even more impressive pieces. Making their Victoria Secret debut, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner walked the catwalk alongside Victoria Secret Angels Lily Aldridge, who had the honour of wearing the $2 million fantasy bra, Candice Swanepoel, Stella Maxwell and Alessandra Abrosio to name a few. Other Angels included Lily Donaldson and Magdalena Frackowiak.
The models are subject to a day of hair and make-up in nothing but underwear and silk dressing gowns, before walking the catwalk in heels and extravagant underwear. The fantasy bra this year was made by jewellers Mouawad and featured 6,500 precious gems including diamonds, pink quarts, yellow sapphires and blue topaz in 18 carat gold. If you think $2 million for the fantasy bra is pricey, in 2005 Gisele Bundchen wore a fantasy bra priced at an astounding $12 million. Though it wasn’t all about the bras, of course, with a performance from Brit Ellie Goulding, in to replace Rhianna. Rhianna was supposed to be performing at the show but pulled out, claiming she was working on her new album. However, the rumour

mill went into overdrive when Jourdan Dunn, model and friend of Rhianna’s, was not chosen to walk this year, leading people to think the reason Rhianna dropped out was to show solidarity with her bestie. There were also performances from Selena Gomez and the Weeknd. With a record number of models walking this year, 47, the show was attended by the biggest and best on the A-List from Trevor Noah, Nick Cannon, Entourage star Adrien Grenier, to parents of Victoria Secret model Kendall, Kris and Caitlyn Jenner. It is said the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan were not invited because Kendall didn’t want to make a fuss. It is also reported that whilst there was an official after party, the real fun was at the unofficial pizza party hosted by the models. Because even Victoria Secret Models can’t resist pizza.
