The 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Unveiled

fashionologie — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:44:06 PST

>> The $12 million, 16th annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show taped at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York last night, with Carine Roitfeld and Alexander Wang showing up together just before the lights went down. Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr both made returns to the runway after sitting out pregnant last year, but it was Candice Swanepoel who opened the show in ballet-inspired wings and a thong (Kerr did, however, get to wear the $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure Bra, as husband Orlando Bloom stood and clapped for her in the audience).

This year's wing marvels included spontaneously inflating capes (on Joan Smalls), light-up neon wings (on many in the final "Club Pink"-themed section), and twin self-rotating umbrellas (on Izabel Goulart). Nicki Minaj was twirled by Erin Heatherton as she performed "Super Bass"; Kanye West - in a new Versace for H&M jacket - invited "big bro" and surprise guest Jay-Z out to join him for their Watch the Throne song "N*ggas in Paris" (Beyonce, dancing and singing along, appeared temporarily in the audience for the duration of the track); and Maroon 5's Adam Levine escorted girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna down the runway holding hands, ending with a kiss on her cheek, all while simultaneously singing "Moves Like Jagger."

A record-breaking fourteen new models (Jessica Clarke, Sui He, Bregje Heinen, Elsa Hosk, Karlie Kloss, Ieva Laguna, Lais Ribeiro, Joan Smalls, Shanina Shaik, Cameron Russell, Karmen Pedaru, Anais Mali, Toni Garrn, and Caroline Brasch Nielsen) made their debut on the Victoria's Secret runway this year, with Kloss closing the show with a disco ball on her rear. The final cut of the show will be televised on CBS on Nov. 29.

fashionologie — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:36:29 PDT

>> Is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley still a Victoria's Secret Angel? She joined the Angel roster in late 2009 and has walked in the Victoria's Secret fashion show every year since 2006, but this year, she'll be missing the ultimate Angel duty: participating in said fashion show. “I’m not walking this year,” she confirmed. “I’m working that day.” [InStyle.com]

Karlie Kloss Confirmed to Walk in Victoria's Secret Fashion Show For First Time

fashionologie — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:20:19 PDT

>> Late last week, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show casting director John Pfeiffer expressed interest in having at least a couple of models walk the show for the first time. "Bregje [Heinen] is finally 18 so we were really excited to see her. Karlie [Kloss] is also of age this year, so hopefully she'll walk the show."

It sounds like he got his wish - at least in the case of Kloss, who began modeling for Victoria's Secret earlier this year. She has been confirmed as part of this year's show, which tapes next Wednesday, Nov. 9, and has her fitting tomorrow afternoon.

Kanye West, Maroon 5 to Perform at This Year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show; Plus, a Few Costume Sketches

fashionologie — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:02:06 PDT

>> News is starting to flow about this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which tapes in a little less than a month at Manhattan's 69th Street Armory on Nov. 9.

Today, Kanye West and Maroon 5 were announced as the show's musical guests. Notably, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine's girlfriend, Anne Vyalitsyna, is confirmed to walk in the show, and West's rumored girlfriend Chanel Iman - who recently closed his debut womenswear show at a day's notice - will also walk as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels.

Speaking of Angels, this year's lineup seems curiously devoid of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, throwing into question whether she will be walking at all - or just walking without wings. Miranda Kerr, Chanel Iman, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge, Behati Prinsloo, and Lindsay Ellingson, however, are all expected.

The show airs on CBS on Nov. 29 at 10/9 CST. A few sketches of this year's costumes, in the slideshow.
