Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Fresh Faces, New Angels and the Fantasy Bra
November 5, 2015
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is upon us and the models are preparing to strut down the runway. This year there will be familiar faces, new faces and who will be wearing the next $2 million fantasy bra?
Earlier this year, well known VS Angels Karlie Kloss and Doutzen Kroes have left Victoria’s Secret, but some new faces will be walking down the VS runway.
So far it has been announced that the class of 2015 Victoria’s Secret models will include: Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and the newest VS Angels Taylor Hill, Elsa Hosk, Sara Sampaio, Martha Hunt, Stella Maxwell, Lais Ribeiro, Jac Jagaciak, Romee Strijd, Jasmine Tookes and Kate Grigorieva. More casting announcements are soon to come.
E! News confirmed earlier this week that current supermodel Kendall Jenner will be walking down the VS Runway next month with her best friend Gigi Hadid.
In a video posted to Victoria’s Secret Instagram, the blonde bombshell, Hadid is shown strutting her best runway walk in a black bra and panties with her hair blowing in the wind.
The executive producer of the show, Ed Razek said, “What’re you doing Nov. 9 and 10? Why don’t you come join us?” Hadid then crouched down and yelled “Really?!” with complete excitement. This will be Hadid and Jenner’s first time ever to walk the VS runway.
Just this week it was revealed that Victoria’s Secret veteran Angel, Lily Aldridge will be modeling this years $2 million Fantasy Bra. The 29-year-old will be following in the footsteps of past fantasy bra wearers Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima. Ambrosio and Lima modeled the fantasy bra last year — the first time in history Victoria’s Secret has had two Fantasy Bras modeled at the same time.
This years bra will be fireworks themed and took a total of 685 hours of labor to create and has more than 6,500 gems, reported by Vogue. The panties that match are also bedazzled with 126 diamonds and 400 stones. The Fantasy Bra was crafted by jeweler, Mouawad.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show isn’t like any other fashion show. The models wear shoes that are too hard to walk in, strut down a runway of glitter and weave in between musical artists performing on the runway with them. This years acts will include Selena Gomez, The Weeknd and Ellie Goulding.
The VS Fashion Show took over London last year, but it was announced by Victoria’s Secret that the show will return to New York where it all originally started.
Chief Executive Officer, Sharen Jester Turney, said “New York City was the site of the first ever Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 1995, and holds a special place in our history and our hearts.”
Can’t wait to see what is in store for their 20th anniversary. The show will air Dec. 8 at 10 p.m. on CBS.
