  1. I think for performers it'll be Harry Styles (it was confirmed that his team was currently in Shanghai no?), Miguel and POSSIBLY Taylor Swift. Honestly, Miguel could be the only artist and only perform in 2 segments, remixes in the rest and for PINK an Asian group or performer and I'll be content with everything in my life. I don't mind Harry tho and Taylor can just go away. I hope she misses her flight if she's performing. Male performers are always the best at the VSFS because they never try to be the models
  2. I can't believe Lais isn't opening Goddesses I'm sick to death of the whole "let's throw the FB in the middle of segement" nonsense. She better at least get her own in between segement talking about the FB! Because they did Jasmine dirty last year smh
  3. You don't get to decide what they chose to identify themselves as. My stepmother is from Suriname and she's mixed with everything imaginable: African, Dutch, Chinese and Indian. Yet because of the racism she experienced and people always assumed she was black at first glance, she identifies as such. Anyway, this forum is not for race topics or how people chose to identify. Please let's get back on track
  4. I think all of the girls look really good! So glad Beachwaver contract is over and I hear LOréal is doing makeup and hair this year because of Olivier? if so..very smart decision by VS. so with 55 girls confirmed (still sad about Mayowa because that girl can walk! Defintely was one of the models I was looking forward to this year). We're left with 8-9 extra outfits, 2 of which will be in PINK (Julia + Mayowa) so I think they'll give regular girls or newbies who only had 1 look this year an extra look instead of Angels
  5. I actually really love this year's runway! reminds me of a mash up of the 2009 show runway and the 2014 show runway. Very unique and I'm happy they're actually utilizing the location the backdrop of the Shanghai skyline looks amazing on the screen!
  6. In many countries, especially the US, mixed race people are usually considered black because of the infamous "one drop rule" that dated back to colonialism and slavery. Lais may not look "stereotypically" black but she and the other models mentioned have all considered themselves black and have been outspoken of their struggles and experiences in the industry as black models hope that helps!
  7. I guess it looks like Candice will be opening this year! the outfit she's trying on is the same African tribal one we saw a Cindy wearing during fittings and when you look at the board, it's also the very first look of Nomadic Adventure!
