This is the most best gift for the world's birthday! The dream of my whole life came true. I'm on the Victoria's Secret catwalk. And my best friend will be with me! - Kendall wrote, referring to Gigi Hadid.

Like Kendall, Gigi dreamed all her life of taking part in Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - having received an offer to go on the catwalk with the angels, she could barely hold back tears of happiness. As it turned out, a year ago Gigi also passed the casting to participate in the Victoria's show Secret, but then never received an invitation to participate in the show.

I can't hold back my tears! Anyone who grew up with me knows that being on this show has always been my dream! Thank you, Victoria's Secret and Ed Razek! This is one of the happiest moments of my life! - Gigi wrote on her Instagram page.

Finale of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

A little earlier, we already managed to tell you about the annual event that took place last evening in New York. However, now we would like to pay special attention to the two debutantes of the show - and.

The fact that one of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters will take part in a grand event of perhaps the most famous lingerie brand in the world became known on Kendall's birthday - November 3. However, not everyone was delighted with this news: on her Twitter page, Jourdan Dunn stated that she was glad not to participate in the Victoria's Secret show:

I feel a lot better knowing I won't have to do the BS show... Sorry, I meant to say VS, especially since Rihanna won't be there either.

Apparently, by using the abbreviation BS instead of the abbreviation VS, the model hinted at a popular English-language curse. True, almost immediately the offended Dunn deleted her post.

As for Gigi Hadid, like many other fashion models, she dreamed of taking part in the biggest and most memorable fashion show of the year. And she did it!

I can't hold back my tears! Anyone who grew up with me knows that being on this show has always been my dream! Thank you, Victoria's Secret and Ed Razek! This is one of the happiest moments of my life!

The model informed her followers on Instagram as soon as she learned that she would join the “angel” team.

Victoria's Secret fans against Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner

The 2016 Victoria's Secret show left fans of the brand disappointed. The reason for this was the appearance on the catwalk of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, their photographs are presented below. Fans of this major manufacturer of lingerie and swimwear believe that Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are unworthy of the angelic “wings” worn on the catwalk during the show by the brand’s special ambassadors, “Victoria’s Secret Angels.”

Social networks are simply filled with critical messages addressed to the brand management and the models themselves. The hostility towards the Kardashians has spread to Kendall Jenner, who is considered an upstart who rose to the top of the modeling world thanks to her connections and reality TV fame. Gigi and Bella Hadid also owe much to the connections of their father, a wealthy California developer with Middle Eastern roots. But the models themselves do not pay attention to criticism and post photos from the show on social networks. Bella Hadid, by the way, also participated in the show.

The Victoria Secret show will be broadcast on the American television channel CBS on December 5, 2016, Monday. As far as we know, the full broadcast will not be carried out in Russia. Of the Russian models, Irina Shayk took part in this year’s show, more details. Filming took place in Paris. IN Lately the number of television viewers began to decline: in 2014, the Victoria’s Secret show was watched by more than 9 million people, in 2015 - only about 6.5 million. In Russia, this brand is known, but does not have mass popularity.

The Victoria's Secret show has never been quiet - after all, the brand's "angels" are far from angelic in character. A couple of years ago, Tyra Banks, who was not invited to participate in the next fashion show, was terribly offended by the organizers of the show. And last year, the story became a hit in the tabloids about the feud between model Jessica Hart and Taylor Swift - Hart’s careless comments about the singer, who regularly performs on the show, led to her exclusion from the ranks of the “angels” But this year passions flared up in earnest - the Victoria's Secret anniversary show will begin in a few years. hours in New York, and the clouds continue to thicken over it. Money, war, gossip and diamonds - a set of cliches like from an action movie, with the only difference that it all happens “behind the scenes” grand show linen brand.

War of Rihanna and Kendall Jenner

The organizers of the anniversary show could not stay away from the general hysteria - almost at the very last moment they decided to include the ultra-popular model Kendall Jenner among the “angels”. Only Victoria's Secret could not afford more than the announced forty-seven models and had to refuse someone. For some reason, this someone was not one of the ten debutantes of the show, but the famous model Jourdan Dunn. A couple of days after this, Rihanna , who was supposed to perform at the end of the show, refused to participate in the show - as they say, out of solidarity with her friend Dunn and out of dislike for Jenner. The singer and the young model from the Kardashian clan have been feuding since last year, when Rihanna asked Kendall on Twitter. not to come to her concert. Twitter, by the way, is the favorite weapon of pop divas: the same Jourdan Dunn, having learned about Rihanna’s act, wrote on her account that she was very glad that she was “removed” from the show, applied to Victoria’s Secret. obscene epithet.

Gigi Hadid begged for a spot on the show

Last year, model Gigi Hadid was refused participation in the show - not surprising, because at that time no one knew her yet. This time, the model decided to act more assertively: before the casting for the show, she posted a video on YouTube, where she begged the organizers and God on her knees to give her a chance. The moment of shame paid off and the prayers were heard: Gigi was among the debutantes of the show. The model deleted her humiliating video, and instead a touching video of Hadid learning about her participation in the show appeared online. Let's see!

Lily Aldridge is not worthy of a Fantasy Bra

Every year Victoria's Secret presents the Fantasy Bra jewelry bra. Last time there were two of them - they were decorated with sixteen thousand rubies, sapphires and diamonds, and they were represented on the catwalk by the luxurious divas Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio. This year the “face” Fantasy Bra became model Lily Aldridge, which caused outrage among fans and admirers of the show that Lily was too boring for such an important role in the show, that she had a "crooked" gait and that "Fantasy Bra's legacy has now been destroyed." think we're talking about about the royal relic, although if you take into account the number of precious stones, the jewelry bra can easily compete with the exhibits of the Diamond Fund: created by the jewelers of the House of Mouawad, it is decorated with diamonds, sapphires, topazes and garnets with a total weight of 375 carats and worth two million dollars.

Victoria's Secret is losing models

They have been talking about the fact that models at Victoria's Secret have begun to be underpaid for a year: there are too many “angels”, and contracts have decreased from a million dollars a year (as Alessandra Ambrosio once had) to one hundred thousand. As a result, in a few the brand lost two months before the anniversary show famous models, without whom the show is simply impossible to imagine: Karlie Kloss and Doutzen Kroes. The girls explained their departure by being involved in other projects, but did not refute rumors about the brand’s forced financial decisions. By the way, Ambrosio, who has lost money, will still appear on stage at Victoria's Secret today - it seems she has hired good lawyer and received a new contract.

Candice Swanepoel comes down with the flu due to Victoria's Secret diet

South African model Candice Swanepoel was among those who went crazy with excitement about the upcoming show - she posted photos of fittings and footage from past shows in all in social networks. But a few days ago, a completely different photo appeared on Candice’s Instagram - the model was lying in bed with an oxygen mask on her face: “the worst time for the flu,” she wrote. While Swanepoel's participation in the anniversary show is still in question, opponents of Victoria's Secret are discussing the causes of the flu - and see them in the poor health of models due to debilitating diets. Adriana Lima revealed all her cards when she admitted that she was over nine days before the show, all the models go on a “liquid” diet - and this despite the fact that they continue to go to almost “Olympic” training.
