Tuesday is Victoria’s Secret sexpot angel time, though the
masses will have to wait until Dec. 8 to watch the 20th annual
lingerie extravaganza. This is just the taping, including musical
performances by The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding and Selena Gomez, after Rihanna
abruptly cancelled.
Veteran VS walkers such as Lily Aldridge and Alessandra Ambrosio will be joined by newbie angels, including Martha Hunt and Elsa Hosk. Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are among the non-winged supermodels new to the glitzy show that generates weeks of advance buzz.
In all, 47 models were scheduled to strut the runway in 75 looks at a Manhattan armory later on Tuesday. But first, there was hair and makeup to be done and a “pink carpet” of celebrity guests to be walked. Caitlyn Jenner was among those expected, to cheer on daughter Kendall.
As for Hadid’s famous curves, she prepared with the help of boxing and ballet.
A lot of sweating and then just focusing on smaller parts because when everything’s in high-def you have to not forget about the little things. I’ve watched the show my entire life and this has been such a dream.Gigi Hadid, American model.
