Who watched the Victoria's Secret fashion show on Wednesday? Well if you haven't I recommend that you do. For anyone that knows me they'll know I'm obsessed but I just love the glitz and glamour of it all - there's nothing more exciting than going into a VS store and purchasing some of their classic lingerie, it still gives me a buzz! Although I didn't think it was as spectacular as last year, it's still a show that is not to be missed. The Victoria Secret show is an annual fashion show by the lingerie brand. The stunning lingerie is worn by the leading fashion models, known as the angels. This year the show was actually performed in London for the first time, where normally it is displayed in America. Musical guests for the show were Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Hozier and the amazing Ariana Grande. 47 models took part including the gorgeous VS angels: Adriana, Alessandra, Candice, Doutzen, Lily, Karlie, Lindsay and Behati.
This year the show consisted of 6 themes, here's some of my personal favourites from the show...
Behati (left) opened the show with the "Gilded Angels" theme, her and the rest of the models came to life in the iconic gold-drenched wings, crystal studded corsets and over-the-top touches. Candice (right) my favourite VS model looked stunning in her simplistic lingerie set. The gold wings designed specially for her make her look just breath-taking! The girls were so on trend as this season its all about looking glamorous in gold and sparkles.
The second theme "Exotic Traveller" was probably my least favourite as I felt the girls didn't look as classy/polished as they normally are. The lingerie demonstrated a number of cultures, bursting with vibrant colours, unique textures and sparkling jewels. Joan Smalls (left) however looked elegant as usual in her tribal inspired lingerie, while one of my favourite models; Brit Jourdan Dunn, looked full of fun - which is what VS is all about - in her red lingerie, and exotic style clothing. Love Jourdan's bra? You can purchase it from the VS website for just $60 - perfect Christmas present!
Elsa Hosk (left) opened the University of Pink theme - which displays the "PINK" brand. PINK is always part of the VS show as it's a collection for their slightly younger customers. I'm not too keen on the pink underwear, but I thought the collection was better this year than it has been previously. The collection was all about animal prints, colourful patterns, and bold graffiti wings. Elsa Hosk and Jac Jagaciak wore two of my favourite pieces - as they were just classic black and pink, with the PINK logo. The PINK collection was very up to date with the latest trends as they used a number of puffer parkas to compliment the lingerie.
"Fairy Tale" was the next theme. The creations as displayed by Candice and Izabel were romantic, ethereal, done in earthy tones and all had glistening gossamer wings. This was my favourite theme of the show as I think the models and the lingerie looked beautiful. The lingerie looked so delicate and Izabel's wings (right) were simply just a work of art! The thigh-high heels that the models wore completed the look as they were shaped like butterflies. The girls were on trend in "Winter Pastels".
The girls strutted down the catwalk displaying the "Dream Girls" theme as Taylor Swift sang. The theme showed the girls as boudoir babes; looking playful and wearing push-up silhouettes. Lily's look (right) was supposed to be her in the middle of a powder-puff palette - pretty creative if you ask me! Doutzen (right) looked gorgeous in her feminine look, the oversized chiffon gown added to the playfulness. And look at their shoes they are so cute!
To end the show "Angel Ball" was the final theme - I loved this theme. The girls looked seductive and glamorous, in purely black and white creations. The theme included elaborate wings, dark bodices, delicate beading and strappy details. Alessandra (left) looked gorgeous in her simplistic black attire - she engaged with Taylor Swift while performing and made it look as though she was having lots of fun! This look was definitely one of my favourites of the whole fashion show as it was black and classy. Adriana (right) looked equally stunning in this black lace creation.
Finally, I couldn't talk about the whole show and not mention the yearly Fantasy bra. However, this year there wasn't just one but two! The two Brazilian bombshells Adriana and Alessandra were given the honour this year as VS wanted to thank them for their loyalty to the brand (it was their 15th show each after all!). The bra's were called "Dream Angels" fantasy bra and cost $2,000,000 each!!!
So readers do you think the show was as good as last year? Which theme was your favourite? Which angel do you adore and aspire to be? Leave me a comment.
Lots of love the bighearted brunette
