That's a little too pornographic for my taste. But if Adam and Eve had looked like that, humanity as a whole would have looked a lot better now.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Sophia and co seem to think their stupid T-shirts, long pants, jackets and so on have a place in a freaking lingerie show, this isn't about any individual model. It's not like Candice's T-shirt covered more of her body than a dozen other outfits.

They dropped Maggie too? Weird.

I feel so anti-establishment, from this top 10 I like only Karlie and Doutzen. VS not having the money to sign the likes of the nepotism girls is perfectly fine by me.

Sara should have closed or opened a segment, sure, but at least they showed her walk which is more than what they did for Zuri. Only her end of the runway pose was shown, plus one or two seconds of her walk in the background. And she is supposed to be a PINK Spokesmodel. Pretty much every model in the Pink segment got more screentime than her.

What concern is that of VS? On the runway and in VS photos Kelly doesn't look any skinnier or more unhealthy than your average VS model, why should they care exactly how she gets in shape and whether she works out too much? It's not like it's a secret that she is a fitness freak, they must be perfectly aware of it. Personally, I don't see what's the big deal. So she likes working out. Nobody complains if a professional athlete likes working out more than his or her peers but if it's a model it's suddenly a big problem. If Kelly did it only because she was pressured to do it, sure, it would be a problem but the impression I have is that she genuinely enjoys it. Too much of anything is not a good thing, sure but there are far worse things to get addicted to, so...

Yes, Barbara being nearby is a sure way of getting a smile out of Stella. Which is why it was disappointing that we didn't see even a glimpse of them together backstage in the VSFS . I understand that VS had cast a gazillion models for the show and had to fit everything into 42 minutes of screen time but still, I was disappointed. But we did see a lot of Georgia backstage, sure seemed like the director liked her more than the casting people who gave her only one look.

Blasphemy! Models with the best smile to me are Barbara Palvin, Lindsey, Stella (gorgeous smile but she smiles so rarely that it makes me sad), Kelly Gale, Doutzen, Ming, Georgia Fowler, Lauren de Graaf, Lorena, Behati (when she isn't trying too hard to be cute).

Beautiful editorial, thanks for posting it.

Myrthe Bolt, I loved her enthusiasm too. After some more watching, I have decided that all segments bar Glam Royale and that Mary K nonsense were pretty good, I even like the music in them, even though I am so not familiar with mainstream music of today. Pink didn't have so many eyesore outfits as usual, Myrthe, Willow and Maggie were great in its end and Grace in the beginning. Golden Angels is the best segment in years, Flights of Fancy was impressive but they have done the white outfits theme so many times already, Downtown Angels would have been much better without the VS sport eyesores and Stella's makeup looking so ugly in that lighting for some reason (compared to how she looked in the other segment). Celestial Angels - rock music + lots of Angels = win.

Favorite newbie in this year's VSFS. That boob shake! So much confidence and enthusiasm and an amazing smile.

There seem to be a lot more cuts to models dancing or having fun backstage rather than to the musician this year. I'd rather have fewer cuts in general but it's much better to watch the models than the performers. I loved Elsa's booty shake on her way back in Celestial Angel. Georgia's dancing too. Sofie is gorgeous and Barbara F looked great as always. Just wish she would smile more.

Somebody really needs to tell Sophia and co that "wings" need to be at least vaguely wing shaped. Adriana's crescent moon, Martha's... thing or Jo's parachute aren't wings and are ugly to boot. Too bad we didn't get to see Barbara and Stella passing each other on the runway. Willow's outfit was vintage garish ugly Pink, though.

I am still pissed Georgia got just one outfit, she looked amazing and has a pretty good walk. On the bright side, maybe her second outfit would have been as silly as Kelly's T-shirt. Jasmine looked stunning, Leomie too but that Mary K outfit... The less said about it the better.

Watching it now, the Golden Angel and Flights of Fancy segments look pretty damned good, actually. Jo's face in the Mary K segment is just priceless, I bet girlfriend was pissed at having to wear this abomination of an outfit and for a good reason. And I actually liked Alexina's infamous end of the runway pose. Stella, Barbara, Ming and Lo in succession was a treat plus a quick cut to Georgia dancing backstage. Stella's opening was pretty bad and Taylor's was so meh. Damn, Jourdana looks so much better with dark hair, I barely recognized her. Myrthe shaking her boobs so enthusiastically was kind of awesome, please keep her VS. "VS is empowering" - said at the very start of the broadcast. At this point I think they are trolling the people who demand more diversity in the show and I kind of approve that. Music doesn't seem bad but again, there is really no need for live performances and especially for cuts to the performers every few seconds. They didn't show Barbara's boyfriend in the crowd but showed (I think) Kris Jenner?!? Fail, VS, epic fail

I still haven't watched it but the bad ratings make me happy. Maybe someone at VS will finally realise that "More music performers and more models every year" isn't a good idea.It's a fashion show, not a freaking concert. Sure, it's entirely possible the ratings would have been just as bad if there were no live performances (or even worse) but come on, clearly not many people tune in for the music. Use recorded music and put the focus back on the models and the outfits and maybe ratings will improve. Well, if you fire Sophia too.

I don't think Kelly has posted her Downtown Angels outfit either, tons of pics of her Flights of Fancy outfit but zero (or next to zero if I have missed some in her stories) of the second one. For obvious reasons. Covering those abs - come on VS! No backstage photos of Barbara and Stella together? That would be too bad.

Sophia, Monica and Ed next? Pretty please?

Five gorgeous women and yet this commercial is hilariously unsexy. I thought you were selling a fantasy, Ed?

Anyone else running out of superlatives for Lais? Let's go with unbelievable this time.

Thanks for all the VS pics, @Bettina Saw-Morgan!

Genuinely curious - are there any transgender models who are successful enough to have a real shot at being cast for the VS? And call me cynical but many of the people who whine on twitter right now will complain if a transgender model is cast but gets only 1 outfit, if said outfit isn't spectacular, then will whine why there is only one transgender model, etc. No company can win with this kind of twitter crowd. And honestly, I really don't think the average (potential) VS customer gives a damn about the presence of transgender model in the show or lack thereof. So why not play it safe and only cast one if she is already highly successful? Of course, there might already be such models without me being aware of that. Sports Illustrated's PR stunts with plus-size models and so on don't seem to be all that successful, after all.

Sadly, they will probably say Kendall, Gigi or Bella. In other news, everyone looks so fit. The legs of Taylor, Candice and Georgia (among others) are just wow. Even #Body-by-Kelly is probably jealous.

Of course Kelly had to post a clip of herself working out backstage right before coming out on the runway because why hell not?

Frida is such a doll.
