Castings will take place on August 29th, 30th, and 31st, with callbacks occurring on September 3rd and 4th. All returning models have been invited to callbacks.

CONFIRMED FOR SHOW: - Maggie Laine - Zuri Tibby CONFIRMED TO BE ATTENDING CASTINGS: - Aqua Parios - Chase Carter - Cindy Mello - Jessica Clements - Kate Grigorieva - Lorena Rae - Megan Puleri - Peyton Knight - Robin Holzen - Rosmary Altuve Gomez Girls who are most likely going to be attending castings are within the spoiler box...

Malaika looks amazing! I would love to see her at the show this year. Pretty sad that she hasn't been in more.

Added, along with Sara Witt, as well as a confirmation that Cindy Mello is attending castings. It's a safe bet that Gizele Oliviera is going, since she's training with Cindy. According to Dr. Toscano, Zuri is confirmed for the fashion show already. Not surprising, but makes me believe Maggie truly is a PINK spokesmodel and is booked for that reason. Could Grace be out?

Carolina Sanchez was at the same dentist who keeps confirming girls, so I'm gonna add her to the list.

Dr. Nicholas Toscano, who serves as a dentist for many models, confirmed on his Instagram story that Aqua Parios and Jessica Clements are going to castings. SIDENOTE: Luping Wang, who has gone to castings previously, is pregnant, which means she can be eliminated as an option.

Below are a few more, plus an updated running list of girls who could be going to castings - Lorena Rae - Janaye - Anya Lesun - Michelle Dantas - Ashley Karah - Anastasia Chekry - Jessica Clements EDIT: Confirmed to be walking the show already are Zuri Tibby and Maggie Laine, presumably as PINK spokesmodels.

It looks like Megan Williams, but I could be wrong.

So ecstatic for Lily, Caleb, and Dixie! Their family is adorable and she deserves the world. Bummed she won't be walking her 10th show (wow) this year, but glad she is going to be bringing another beautiful child into the world :)

Just a few more names to add… Herieth Paul Alexina Graham Valery Kaufman Jacquelyn Jablonski? Nadine Leopold Jourdana Elizabeth Alecia Morais Vanessa Moody Samille Bermannelli Hannah Ferguson (stated in a Model Squad promo that her goal is to walk the VSFS this year) Alicia Burke Madison Headrick Wallette Watson Ellen Rosa Alana Felisberto Melodie Vaxelaire Paige Reifler Dalia Savic Mariah Strongin

Model Sterre Claus posted on her Instagram story a quick video of herself working out, captioned "Workout with robinholzen. Swipe up to look at video's and follow her way to the victoriassecret casting!" They both appear to be training with Robin's mother, who is a personal trainer for models. If you swipe up, it directs you to Robin's most recent vlog, entitled "MY 15 MINUTE MODEL AB ROUTINE // Robin Holzen." I haven't watched the video to see if it mentions anything about the show, but the message seems pretty clear.

Here are some additional girls who seem to be prepping: - Kate Grigoreva (confirmed to be going to castings) - Megan Williams - Georgia Fowler - Frida Aasen - Valery Kaufman - Keke Lindgard - Victoria Lee - Robin Holzen (has a video series being filmed about her road to castings...) - Maia Cotton - Charlee Fraser - Dana Taylor - Cayley King - Mackinley Hill - Sadie Newman - Alannah Walton - Victoria Bronova - Arlenis Sosa? Julieta Miquelarena, who has never worked with VS (to my knowledge), confirmed in her Instagram story (in Spanish) that she had casted two years ago, but was unable to attend callbacks for personal reasons. She said it's a dream of hers to work with the brand, so she may attend castings as well. From how it appears, I don't think Barbara has trained there recently.

She's pretty! The Philippines are being represented well in VS by her and Kelsey Merritt!

Since the Dogpound is the main training center for most of the girls prior to the castings, here's a list of likely attendees, based off of who has been training with them recently. - Karlie Kloss - Cindy Bruna - Kelly Gale - Maria Borges - Zuri Tibby - Bruna Lirio - Leila Nda - Gizele Oliviera - Roosmarijn de Kok - Aqua Parios - Brittni Tucker - Chantal Monaghan - Chase Carter - Cindy Mello - Daniela Lopez Osorio - Josie Canseco - Keilani Asmus - Kelsey Merritt - Lara Ghraoui - Lauren Layne - Megan Puleri - Nicole Harrison - Noel Berry - Sofia Resing - Peyton Knight (mentioned in a post by a trainer to be prepping for VS, so basically confirmed) - Brooke Lynn Buchanan - Chuyan He - Elsa Baldaia - Marianne Fonseca - Mili Boskovic Others include Adwoa Adoah, Ashley Graham, Valentina Sampaio, and Winnie Harlow, but I'm not certain that those girls would be trying out...

Who the FUCK let this girl back???

Whether y'all like Sara in the line-up or not, Lais looks AMAZING in that Maxim cover...

I agree completely, this screams both 2002 and 2007 vibes to me.

I can't tell if I feel bad for Erin or if I could care less. I would understand her not paying her co-manager if the girl legitimately did not assist in the company start-up, but the lawyer portion seems to allude to Erin kind of scamming her way through this entire trial...

Lameka absolutely nailed her most recent shoot with VS and Roosmarijn is actually smiling, which looks amazing! I prefer the set backgrounds to the white, but these newer shots look good.

Her body is freaking incredible! She's an absolute knockout and I hope to see her at the show. To each their own in terms of who finds her attractive, but I think she's stunning. Her unique appearance makes me view her the way a lot of people view Gisele.

So Vita isn't walking due to her being pregnant (!) Are there any other models that are able to be eliminated right off the bat? Is Kendall done with VS forever or is her La Perla contract finished? Kate G obviously confirmed she is attending castings, whereas Isabeli said she won't be attending. Devon talked about training for the VS show in a recent interview, so she seems to be interested. Then there's Maggie's post, whatever that confirms.

Lais is receiving the attention she deserves. Calling her underrated will only invalidate her work, as it will make people question if she deserves it in the first place. Let her do her job and celebrate the success that she has been having. None of the New Angels are really underrated at this point, since even Stella and Martha are starting to get a bunch of photoshoots.

What exactly is Yasmin supposed to be modeling for VS?

Ariana singing God is a Woman would be AMAZING. Like her or not, that song is so theatrical and her vocals are incredibly sensual-sounding. Whoever is in charge of booking the performers would not be sorry for snagging Ariana with this bop. The non-chorus parts make for a perfect walking-pace and the first initial rhythm transition and ending of the song make for perfect opening and closing. I could see this being the finale song and having a Fantasy Bra or an angel with huge wings close the whole show.

I'm fairly certain that Sui and Ming are definitely returning. I wonder if the Road to the Runway is going to remain in China or expand to another location? I love the idea of VS trying to give up and coming Asian models a chance, but it seemed to make more sense doing it in China because the show was occurring there. I'm annoyed that Maggie Laine is already seemingly confirmed. She was decent this past year, but Grace and Zuri are more than sufficient enough to represent PINK. However, I still think Ed might just be saying "let's do this" as an invitation to castings and a hopeful post that insinuates that she may be cast if she is interested and makes the cut. I doubt she would confirm being cast in advance before she were to be revealed as a PINK spokesmodel, if she has truly been promoted. She probably gets invited to callbacks directly, since she has walked for the past two years.
