The annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show happened in Paris this week and it airs this coming Monday, and, honestly, I’m incredibly stoked to watch it. Watching hot skinny bitches in lingerie I can’t afford is legitimately how I like to start my holiday season, as bizarre as that sounds.
Aside from the fact the whole thing is just beautiful women walking around half naked while super talented musicians perform, there are actually some really pop culture relevant reasons to tune in this year specifically!
Bella Hadid and The Weeknd are BOTH in the show!
These two are one of my favourite hot, young celebrity couples, and I was emotionally devastated when they broke up a couple of weeks ago because they seem super fucking in love. However, the split was apparently caused because she has a super busy modeling career and he’s about to go on tour for his new album. Since arriving in Paris, they’ve both Snapchatted and Instagrammed some interesting and suggestive stuff that makes me think this relationship isn’t over, AND pictures released show that she DOES walk the runway while he performs, which is something I want to see!
Kendall Jenner’s New Lips?
Social media has recently pointed out that Kendall’s lips have been looking pretttttty Kylie-equse, which is a major disappoint for me, because just the other day I was talking about how fucked up Kylie Jenner looks. You’re 19! Stop putting fillers in your face, girl! This is Kendall’s first big public appearance since allegedly getting her lips done, so I’m interested to see if she’s actually just been using filters and overlining them, or if she really did get her lips done. I’m paid to care about this, ok?!
Jasmine Tookes Wears the Fantasy Bra!
Every year, one lucky model gets to wear the famous multi-million dollar Fantasy Bra. This year, it’s Jasmine Tookes, which is pretty huge since she’s only the third African-American model to be chosen to wear the bra! (Selita Ebanks and Tyra Banks being the first two). AND it’s been almost a decade since a woman of colour modeled the bra, given that Ebanks wore it in 2007.
Four Asian Models are Walking!
In 2009, Liu Wen was the first Chinese model to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway. This year, she’ll be joined by Xi Mengyao, Sui He, and Ju Xiaowen. This is a first! With various Latino, African-American, and Asian models, this is actually the most diverse group of models in VS Fashion Show history! The brand has come a pretty long way since Naomi Campbell was basically the only occasional diversity on their catwalk, am I right?
The Music Line Up!
Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, and Lady Gaga are all fucking KILLING it right now and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2016 has all three of them performing their amazing new hits! I mean, the show usually has some pretty great performers, but these are 3 All-Stars and I am stoked to watch them perform! I mean, I assume Bruno will be performing 24k Magic, right?
