+1 +2 Doutzen is pure class, I'm really going to miss her on the runway this year.

I just joined the site not long ago... does the mess happen every year or especially exciting this time? I lurked until earlier this year but it seems like even more of a circus this year.

This mess gets better and better.

I'm more offended by Ellie's presence than I am Kendall's.

This is going to be an even bigger shitshow than I originally thought it would be and I can't wait

Taken from Lily's thread, caps by kaos:

^ There's a shot in the Vogue video where you can see it's ill fitting, there's a large gap and it seems odd that there would be when it was allegedly custom fit to her.

Beautiful! Such a fan of this look on her, elegant and classy just like she is. Thanks for the additional pictures.

^ IMO, yes. I think she'll probably do the 2016 show unless she gets pregnant (which I suspect will be happening sooner rather than later) and the timing prevents her from walking. Her contract either expires at the end of this year or sometime next year and I already felt like they were beginning to phase her out before they even signed the 10 new girls. The majority of her work this year is for things outside of VS, she's taking fewer but more high profile jobs + branching into HF, spending lots more time at home and with her family, and this FB feels like a send off of sorts to me. I adore her but she's not Adriana or Ale to VS so they won't keep her around/pay her to show up for 2 or 3 events a year like they've done with those two. Just my two cents!

It's too bad the gave Lily such a lackluster FB, they're lucky she has the personality to sort of salvage it. I also was not a fan of how they styled her hair for the shoot itself, so messy and unkempt. Thanks for the pics, Shepherd! Probably my favorite look of the year for her.

I'm really curious to see what the lineup looks like this time next year.

@victoriassecret @lilyaldridge Sorry! But this year I don't watch the show! It's crap and so disappointed for Behati's fans , very unfair!

Omg yes, this one was my favorite #ButthurtBehatiFans

This is all so amusing. I don't know if this or the meltdown some Candice fans had over her missing the holiday commercial is better.

I think Lily means she was informed that she'd be wearing it during the day that she, Behati and Candice all shot with Russell. I don't remember the exact date but it was prior to filming the commercial so the September shooting timeline fits.

I know, I thought that was a little weird.

I think Lily's chances of getting 2 outfits is pretty high. I think the rest of the vets will get three.

Exactly! This is a huge moment for her and it sucks that she can't even go one interview without someone bringing up Taylor. Let Lily have her moment as Lily, not friend of Taylor Swift.

If she could have one interview where they don't ask her about Taylor Swift I would be ecstatic. The girl just got the FB, stop talking about Taylor.

I also think it was given to another Angel before and there was some kind of issue so then it was passed down to Lily. I think they shot them in September last year but I could be wrong.

I wonder if Lily's going to have 2 or 3 outfits. It doesn't look as complicated to get into and out of as the ones last year.

I kind of thought this too. In the video it fits terribly and they've been pretty good about making sure it fits reasonably well.

I said the same thing in her thread, it wouldn't shock me if this is a send off.

Totally agree with everything you said here. Really happy for Lily, but the design is incredibly underwhelming. I think there's going to be bras in the show more elaborate than the FB itself. I hope that she's been working on her walk. Now it makes even more sense as to why she did those three runway shows this past FW season. I think it depends on the song that's performed. Her walk is way better suited for runways like DVF and CH where it's more relaxed and "flowy" and the flaws in it are less apparent. But when you put her on a runway that requires a more forceful and powerful one is when you notice how not great it is And it wouldn't surprise me if this is a send off of sorts.
