All three of the girls I mentioned were spotted in London earlier this summer around the buildings that Sophia seems to plan fittings in. Barbara, Cindy, and Devon were similarly seen last year a little bit earlier in the year, but that would be expected, seeing how China was more of an earlier starting time. Sui He and Dilone were later revealed to have been there as well in the Making of the VSFS videos.

Aiden and Leomie seem to be the new fit models, with Barbara returning. Unclear if that means Cindy, Devon, and/or Dilone are out. I would bet that the first three are locks. Cindy is fairly consistent with castings, but I wouldn't be surprised if Devon doesn't return, seeing how she seems to want to become an "influencer" now. EDIT: Grace and Zuri don't seem to be done with PINK just yet, so I'm willing to bet that they're returning. Maggie's confident post seems to allude to her somehow moving up in the PINK world, so she might be a spokesmodel now. If that's the case, they all must be in the PINK segment pool.

Alexina's voice irritates me... In terms of a potential line-up for this year, I would do the following: - Either force Behati to walk this show or drop her altogether, because she isn't worth the wait anymore - Give Lily a special send-off if she hasn't left already - Keep Barbara F, Sui He, Ming Xi (!), Blanca, Cindy - Reunite Gigi and Bella, as long as they don't get any segments or overexposure with excessive screen time - Drop Liu Wen (she has ran her course and other Asian models deserve recognition, but not Estelle Chen, who can be dropped) - Give Maria an outfit that doesn't resemble 2015 for once - Keep Aiden, but bump her down to one outfit instead of 2 - Give Georgia and Kelly two different outfits - NO MORE DILONE - Keep Alanna, Alecia, Lameka, Leila, and Nadine for PINK only - get rid of 𝖦̶𝗈̶𝗅̶𝗅̶𝗎̶𝗆̶ Maggie Laine - invite back Barbara Palvin and IMAAN - Hire Luna Bijl, He Cong, and Yasmin Wijnaldum - Give free admission to Mayowa and the Russian girls Remaining Non-Angels: Aiden Curtiss, Alanna Arrington, Alecia Morais, Amilna Estevao, Barbara Fialho, Bella Hadid, Blanca Padilla, Cindy Bruna, Frida Aasen, Georgia Fowler, Gigi Hadid, Gizele Oliveira, Grace Bol, Grace Elizabeth, Herieth Paul, Kelly Gale, Lameka Fox, Leila Nda, Leomie Anderson, Maria Borges, Megan Williams, Ming Xi, Nadine Leopold, Sui He, Zuri Tibby + Mayowa / Russians Removed from Line-Up: Alexina Graham, Bruna Lirio, Daniela Braga, Dilone, Estelle Chen, Liu Wen, Maggie Laine, Roosmarijn de Kok, Samille Bermanelli, Sanne Vloet, Vanessa Moody, Victoria Lee, Xiao Wen Ju, Xin Xie Unsure: Behati Prinsloo, Devon Windsor, Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldridge, One Wang

Joining late cuz I haven't been on here in ages. Christine Johansen. Ebony Andersen. (underated, but not that great of a model) Zorana Kuzmanovic. Gabrielle Caunesil. Iuliia Nedosekina. The fact that Elizabeth Turner, who I never can seem to escape on any website, is considered underrated by Bellazon is frightening.

That shoot with Elena looks better than essentially anything we've seen in the past three years... Also HELL NO to Alexina, Lameka, and Grace becoming Angels. We don't need 17 spokesmodels. This weird fetish with redheads is bizarre and Alexina offers nothing besides a different hair color. Lameka looks like a child. I'm fine with Grace, but a few girls need to leave for any new Angel to be named. We need the Angels to be treated well (with three bomb outfits at this upcoming fashion show) so we can have a mass exodus next year during contract negotiation season. Then VS can focus on a smaller group, get BETTER lingerie, shoot SEXIER pictures, and really execute well-organized fashion shows. I'm willing to give them all one final good show, but Stella, Behati, Martha, Lily, and probably Candice + Adriana need to leave after next show.

Robin has like one good picture and Chantal is doing the absolute least. Not a great shoot to begin with. Thank god it isn't a legitimate VS shoot, especially cuz I don't trust Timur anymore.

I love the concept, HATE the lingerie. It just doesn't look right.

Pretty sure they're all locked in until the fashion show at this point. Contract negotiations tend to happen between February and April.

I refuse to acknowledge her as a legitimate VS model. Talentless and title-less.

Maggie Laine is easily the most plain looking model they have working for them right now...

Mayowa Nicholas Lais Ribeiro Julie Ordon

Kelsey is a great addition to the shoots and Roos actually seems to be more energetic than usual. Russell really can work wonders for some of these girls. Sadly not Romee in her napping picture.

Her IG post was confusing because it could have been reflecting on her past walks and gearing up to return, or it was the complete opposite and she's remembering what used to be.
