Her Halloween costume is 10/10, I love it! She truly delivered and impeccable look

Am I the only one not feeling Gigi's VS work? Like I adore Gigi and she's great at everything she does but something about her work with VS is just meh to me. I think VS is pushing too hard for her to be the "girl next door" and it's just not working for me. Everyone else looks gorgeous in the commercial tho.

Thread cleaned, everyone is entitled to their own taste and opinion, but keep discussions civil and without attacking anyone. And if you don't have anything nice to say, perhaps is best not to say anything at all.

If you look up Tyra Banks when her career started in 1991 you'll see she was by no means as voluptuous as she became later on and once she did become more voluptuous her career in high fashion was not as prominent anymore and she fully transitioned into commercial gigs like VS and Sports Illustrated, Heidi by her own admission had no real career whatsoever until VS made her a household name, plus Heidi is the perfect example of someone who is a massive commercial success but she has no high fashion credentials at all. Eva's career became prominent after being featured in a lingerie commercial and Laetitia was a GUESS Girl who then also became more prominent thanks to her work for L'Oreal and VS, two huge commercial brands. If anything, Eva and Laetitia are the exceptions that prove the rule. Again, I think it's insanity that Adriana and the other Brazilian girls were considered the peak of curves when they were all pretty darn thin, but when you compare them to what was trendy in the high fashion world at the time with the likes of Kate Moss and Jamie King then it's easy to see why. Not that I'm complaining, I'm really happy Adriana stuck with VS and took a more commercial route, I've never really been into the high fashion aesthetics and even now when they claim to be more "diverse" the majority of the girls walking down a runway do not look like the poster children of health. But all you need to do is watch the old VS shows and read the headlines for Adriana's covers through the years to see that she was most definitely put into the "exotic, voluptuous, bombshell" box.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but Adriana was by all standards a curvy model back when she started in the late 90s-00s. Gisele literally built her entire career on being "the Brazilian bombshell" with the curves, defying the standard of the "heroine chic" that had taken the fashion industry by storm with Kate Moss, and once Gisele opened the doors then the Brazilian bombshell trend started from which Adriana, Alessandra, Ana Beatriz, Isabeli and many others profited from and were able to build a high fashion career while also being commercially successful. Before that you were either a high fashion model or you were a commercial model. Is she what would be considered curvy now? Absolutely not, but back in the day she most definitely was considered curvacious/bigger than the average model, the "I'm not a typical size 0 model, I have boobs and a butt!" was a massive selling point for Adriana's career and commercial success but it also put a dent on her high fashion career. It's insane that that was the standard, but let's not rewrite history, that's exactly how it was, if you watch the old VSFS they even discuss how their models are "diverse" and "curvy"

Just gonna go on the record here to say Elsa influenced me into buying Maria Nila products a few months ago they are very expensive but holy crap it's truly the best hair care brand I've ever tried, truly 10/10! My hair hasn't been this nice in years.

Yeah I Adriana has definitely been filed under "exotic" her entire career. Is she white passing? Yes, she is. But she's definitely been stereotyped which makes it harder to break into HF and get taken seriously by the industry, for Adriana VS was the best thing because it made her household name which then lead to a more successful career. Irina was on the same boat, the only difference is that Irina started dating a very famous man and that elevated her profile, otherwise I'm pretty sure she would not be where she is right now.

I doubt that's 48 hours before the show because you can see the girls signing the wings and we know they did that before because by 11th October we already had a picture of the signed wings it's more likely from a week or so before the show, Imaan also has a different outfit. Also that's not Barbara in Adriana's outfit, I think it's Anthi.

I need every single plastic surgeon and alleged professional who came out to "offer insight" about the thousand plastic surgeries Adriana had allegedly gotten done to apologise to her and fuck all the way off of the internet. I'm glad Adriana had the right support system and she was able to get back into the right headspace, but I cannot imagine how hard this would be on someone less robust and more vulnerable that did not have the same support system.

I don't really know how else to explain it other than her vibe was off. Not saying she did not look great, she did and everyone agrees on that but her vibe was off the entire time, even backstage she didn't look particularly happy or comfortable, she also did not crack a single smile on the runway which is odd, it goes beyond the resting bitch face. We've seen Candice walk this show more than 10 times at this point and it just felt like something was off this time. Then you add up the fact that she chose to skip the after party altogether and the her also taking a while before posting about the show on social media, the shady caption from one of her friends, etc. It's entirely possible nothing was wrong, I don't really use social media so I don't know what's being said but quite a few of us here noticed the same thing

That wouldn't make sense, the fittings are days before the show so by the 15th she knew what she was wearing already. Candice is a top dog, I'm sure she has input on what outfit/wings she gets to wear, Adriana and Heidi used to have a say back in the day in the outfits they'd wear and I'm sure that's still the same and now extended to Candice (and probably Tyra, Kate, Eva, Carla and the Hadids). So if Candice was unhappy with something related to her outfit, I'm sure she would have said something and it would have been fixed.

Obsessed with this picture, she looks incredible!

I checked right before the VSFS and Adriana was at 18.2M followers on instagram, she's currently at 19M. This is crazy, she's gained nearly 1M followers in no time! I'm so happy to see her thriving again. She was missed by us the old hags and new generations are discovering her as well.

Mama we're back on the cover of VOGUE!? I used to pray for times likes this

Wait who posted the #realfriends thing, was it Candice herself or one of friends? That + not showing for her after party is shady

Opening this thread again in hopes that it can be kept civil. Please keep the discussions to Adriana's career, your hopes for the future, rumors about work, etc., absolutely no armchair diagnosis, no TEDTalks about her personal life, her partner, her children, her mental health, conspiracy theories, etc.

Everyone is allowed to have a personal taste, but you're not allowed to be an asshole to others, especially when there is absolutely no need to drag other women into Candice's thread they're not even related to the discussion and calling people names when you don't know them, you have absolutely zero proof of any of these women being unhealthy. It's fine if you find X, Y or Z unattractive, god knows I personally don't find half of the girls attractive either for different reasons but it's not my place to making comments about their health or their bodies or to start naming names, and even less so when it truly adds no value to the conversation regarding Candice's show. Candice looked great and had two great looks, focus on that rather than on bringing others down. This is the last on this I'll say, this is the Candice Swanepoel thread not the "Let's talk shit about other models" thread, feel free to use your PMs for that if you so badly need to talk trash about whoever model you dislike.

Thread cleaned. The year is 2024, if you think it's okay to come here being transphobic and calling people names then you're in the wrong place.

She looked amazing last night, one of the best newbies

She looked absolutely stunning at the VS show, so proud of her

I have no words for how excellent she was at the VS show!! She was absolutely everything, a queen honestly

She looked beautiful at the show, especially in the red look
