You are overanalyzing things. No way VS regards Rachel or Martha or half of the front row, really, as more valuable than Taylor. They can snub Lais or Stella or Romee but not their "it girl" Taylor. I reckon some genius simply thought half the new angels in centre of the second row is a good idea for some reason. Btw, Romee's smile is so fake in this group photo and Bella looks like the wicked witch. Grace looks so cute.

That's one sexy commercial.

Damn it, why did they have to raise my hopes only by announcing Karlie would walk when it clearly wasn't a sure thing? Morons. And true to form, even hugging smiling kids on Thanksgiving isn't enough to make Stella crack a smile.

Damn, now that you mention it I saw it and I can't unsee it. Let's hope it looks better on the runway than on these photos.

Since when do businesses give a damn which employee deserves something if giving the honour to somebody else would make more money for them? And yes, even if VS made their decisions on the basis of who "deserves" it more, I don't see how the new Angels don't deserve it more than Alessandra.

I don't like the wings much. That big smile is so fake, yet still so adorable.

I had only seen Luma in a L'Oreal commercial where she was totally outshined by Stella and Barbara Palvin but she looks great in the casting video. Lais seems incredibly unexcited by her outfit, can't really blame her. First glimpse of Stella's outfit. Not bad but lacks the "damn, that's so hot" factor of say Taylor's outfit.

Stella crooking her finger is just too sexy. Highlight of the video for me, along with Taylor's bouncy boobs on a horse.

Poor Devon.

Stella and Barbara in the same video, Stella (of course) is in a scene where the lesbian subtext is basically, well, text but it's not with Barbara. Talk about a missed opportunity. And those last two VS pictures are outstanding.

Figures that Pretty Little Liars would be Taylor's favourite TV show, what with all the relationships between high school girls and grown men. I bet it's Hair Gel's favourite show too. Kidding aside, the last batch of VS pics is outstanding.

More Maxvin!

Taylor's outfit looks awesome. Martha's outfit makes me wonder if the designers might not be colour blind.

When you posted these pics in the Stella thread I didn't even realize that this was Barbara. Which is silly of me because she looks so cute with the glasses and the hat.

I am so excited that Karlie is officially back. Maybe they are ashamed of hiring dead eyes Kendall.

Are there really that many people whose thought process is basically "I really don't want to see models strut in lingerie but I will totally tune in for one or two songs by the Weeknd"? If they want to see that particular performance that badly, I would imagine many of those people would skip the live showing of the VSFS and will only watch the parts with the the Weeknd the next day on youtube, so there would be even less of a ratings gain. The ratings are dropping all around the TV industry anyway.

They will waste a minute or two on interviews with Abel and Bella, guaranteed. And then they will cut to the music performers every two seconds because it's not like there is only one VSFS a year and dozens of concerts by these performers. Oh, wait

On the bright side, at least they aren't hiding the entirety of Lais's midriff as usual.

Lais's outfit is a mess of clashing colours. Her facial expression says it all.

Can I also request a GIF - 2:17 - 2:18 of the video - Stella turning around and smiling?

Well, at least now I know how Sanne's name is pronounced. And Barbara has such a great smile.

As in not emaciated enough? The horror!

Goddess!

That's one gorgeous Princess Jasmine. She is even outshining Lais in the group photo and that's no mean feat.
