It’s no wonder they call it the fashion world’s Super Bowl…
The annual extravaganza that is the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in New York last night, with more lingerie-clad super-beauties, more fireworks, and more A-list performers than you could shake a bedazzled Fantasy Bra at.
Lily Aldridge, Joan Smalls, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo and more made up this year’s 47-strong supermodel squad, joined for the first time by newcomers Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Kendall Jenner And Gigi Hadid Made A Heavenly Debut Reporting for their Victoria’s Secret service for the first time ever, Kendall and Gigi took the catwalk by storm. It takes a couple of seasons at VS to earn your 'Angel' status, but the BFFs proved they’re well on their way with this appearance.
Pre-show, Kendall posted Insta pics of her ‘learning from one of the best’ with Behati Prinsloo. Acknowledging that Victoria’s Secret is still one of the modelling world’s most sought-after gigs Kendall said, ‘It’s always been one of my biggest dreams to be on this catwalk. Oh and I get to do it with my best friend.’ Naww.
Lily Aldridge Wore A $2 Million Bra Ah the Fantasy Bra. It’s the jewel in the crown of the entire Victoria’s Secret armory, and each year, one particularly super supermodel is bestowed the honour of having said 6,500 precious gems strapped to her chest for an hour or so. We would have totally broken it anyway, so it’s lucky that this year VS chose veteran angel Lily Aldridge to wear their ultimate lingerie showpiece. Created by jeweller Mouawad and featuring diamonds, yellow sapphires and pink quartz, we’ll never look at our trusty (slightly bobbly) T shirt bra the same again.
The Front Row Was Full Of Proud Parents Kris and Caitlin Jenner, plus Gigi's mum Yolanda Foster, were all frow-side to watch their daughters' big modeling moment for themselves.
The Performances Were BIG When Rihanna pulled out of the live gig a few weeks ago, we wondered just who VS could pull out of the bag to replace her. Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez and The Weekend got the party started, dancing with their model mates as they came down the runway.
Backstage Was A Hot Pink Hoot Every girl flounced around in a pink silk dressing gown and, of course, every girl had time for a few pre-show selfies. The scenes were almost like when we get ready for a night out with our mates. Almost.

10 Other Models Got Their Wings Stella Maxwell, Taylor Hill, Martha Hunt, Elsa Hosk, Kate Grigorieva, Jac Jagaciak, Lais Ribeiro, Sara Sampaio, Romee Strijd and Jasmine Tookes were all promoted from mortal models to angel status this year, donning their wings alongside the best of them.
