Days before filming the annual fashion show at Shanghai, drama began to take place when Gigi Hadid announced that she won’t be gracing the runway this year; Katy Perry, who was set to perform, was banned from China indefinitely, with other models getting denied too. All that drama didn’t stop VS to put on a great show for its Chinese fans.
For this year’s show, the famed lingerie brand collaborated with French fashion house Balmain, led by creative director Olivier Rousteing, under the theme “Punk Angel”. Other themes for this year’s runway show are “Goddesses”, “Millennial Nation”, “Winter’s Tale”, “Porcelain Angel”, and “Nomadic Angels”. Read on to know who wowed at this year’s VS fashion show.
Karlie Kloss
We thought we’ve seen the last of Kloss as an Angel back in 2014 when she ended her contract with the lingerie brand, but after a 3-year hiatus, Kloss walked this year’s runway like a boss. The model donned two ensembles for the show, topped off with her platinum blonde hair.
Bella Hadid
Even though her older sister didn’t walk this year, Bella Hadid still rocked the runway thanks to her gorgeous (and hot) body. Just her 2nd year as an Angel, Hadid already earned her wings! Though she had a slight wardrobe malfunction during the show’s finale, it didn’t stop her to dance the night away.
Adriana Lima
The longest and most valuable VS Angel walked this year’s runway for a record-breaking 18th time with her signature smile. Known for her intense diet regimen, Lima plans to keep her wings up until her 20th show.
Candice Swanepoel
Just by looking at Candice Swanepoel’s body at this year’s VS fashion show, you wouldn’t think that she gave birth to a human being just over a year ago. The South African model opened this year’s show with a plaid VSxBalmain ensemble.
Lais Ribeiro
Ribeiro is the lucky gal chosen to wear this year’s fantasy bra. This year’s bra is made of 6, 000 gemstones, and is worth $2 million. Seeing how heavy the Champagne Nights Fantasy bra looks, Ribeiro looked dazzling as she walked down the runway.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Hours before walking the VS runway, longtime Angel Alessandra Ambrosio revealed that this year’s fashion show would be her last. Ambrosio still looked every bit of an angel when she rocked a VSxBalmain ensemble.
Stella Maxwell
Kristen Stewart’s girlfriend struts down the VS runway with sexy thigh-high boots and her signature pout.
Lily Aldrige
Taylor Swift’s bff (and wife of Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill) flaunted her to-die-for body during the “Porcelain Angels” segment.
