Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)

Featured Replies

What I noticed about this year was that VS didn't understand the concept of being subtle very well. They took perfectly awesome outfits and added that one unnecessary thing that made the entire outfit meh for me.

Examples

Great outfit from the front. It's colorful, sexy and detailed very nicely but then VS added half an

inner-tube around her waist.

Outfit would of been perfect but then they added the giant rose snake like thing around her body.

It just wasn't needed when the shoulder/head embellishments were enough.

This probably would of been my favorite outfit of the year if they hadn't added the giant poof

that btw reminds ME of a poodle cut you get at the dog groomers

Anyways onto Hits & Misses

FAVORITE WINGS

This year's show was very hit or miss for me (based on the pictures alone). Some of the outfits that looked great on paper and just didn't translate well in real life, while others that looked like they were going to be a real disappointment on paper turned out to be wonderful. The musical choices for this year just didn't fit the show, but hey at least we get to see Kanye try and upstage

and will most likely succeed at doing so

the models and I look forward to that. It was nice seeing fresh faces on the runway, and I hope they bring some of these girls back. Toni is wonderful, Shanina always shines, but the others I could care less about as they just weren't memorable enough for me. Who knows maybe when we see them live they may shine for me *keeping fingers crossed*

The lolFantasyBra, while the lighting seems to be fixed one question stand.. How do you notice the uber expensive bra when a GIANT CLAM is garnering all the looks?

Candice's 1st outfit just didn't have that WOW factor to open the show. And lastly did anyone else feel like Miranda was seriously dwarfed by the amount of fabric she was wearing? Her outfits would of been better on more of a stately woman like KK. :/

Karlie :no: I just don't see the hype. Oh well to each his own.

4.3 goes live in a few weeks. Raid Finder = Fail & many lolz

PANDAS in the MIST (stares at Red)

I'm so excited,

And I just can't hide it,

I'm about to lose control

And I think I like it.

Well now I know why some of the newcomers didn't stand out. Most of the one's I liked only had one outfit so I didn't notice them at first. I went back over the outfits and was shocked to find that I really only like the new girls.. even over Ale who I've been a huge fan of for 10+ years now.

Jacquelyn Jablonski, Toni Garrn, Jessica Clarke, Elsa Hosk, Cameron Russell, Joan Smalls & Shanina Shaik I are my favs this year :heart:

God its great to see Doutzen back.

Behati looks amazing in the superangels segment.

In contrast I can't for the life of me understand how Anja got 3 segments, she looks terrible IMO!

  • Author

Toni, Shanina, Joan & Elsa were the best newcomers. The other ones were meh except for Caroline who should stay away from VS

Pretty, Jacquelyn walked last year though she was the one in the horrible white PJ in Pink

lol oddly enough I ignored watching PINK last year. Katy Perry was just to much for me to stomach... so Jacquelyn still new for me :p

^Guuuuuuuuuurl!

Katy Perry > Oxygen.

So this is it, the VS fashion show has already begun ?

Gonna watch the video.

My favorite is undoubtedly Adriana ... :heart: she's beautiful face, her body is in excellent shape, and I love their two outfilts :heart:

I also like Candice, I love seeing her in yellow .... but I enjoyed her more last year

Shanina: so beautiful :yes:

Here are some clips from this year's show.

I didnt really like the hair or make-up this year. It was too similar to last year. Very light and natural. I think VS is becoming too heavily influenced by the high fashion world. Their "look" reminds me of something you would see during Milan fashion week. I miss their trademark sexiness - the long, bombshell hair, gorgeous tanned glowy skin and sultry make-up. It wasn't awful, but not very sexy IMO.

And Miranda Kerr wearing that gorgeous 2.5 million dollar fantasy bra walking down the runway to "Moves like Jagger"?!?! I didn't get any of the performances this year. I love all the artists as artists, but their song choices combined with the show didn't really make sense to me. I mean 2006- Justin Timberlake- SexyBack, 2008-Usher - What's Your Name, 2010 - Akon - Angel...2011 - Jay-Z and Kanye - N****s in Paris?!? lol

The outfits were a little over the top sometimes, and some of the girls aren't as memorable to me. Overall, it looked like a nice show but I'm still waiting for VS to return to the standard of the 2005/2006/2007/2008 shows in terms of the models, the make-up, the hair, the outfits and the music!

The soundtracks to their commercials are so much better than the ones they use in their fashion shows. WTF!?! :blink: They need to be more consistent with their Music Supervisors.

PERFECT!

I loved the stage (of course the signature glitter runway), lighting and makeup. Most of the outfits I admit are memorable good or bad. The hair could have been much better. I would love for some to have SLEEK straight hair and others deep loose curles and more SHINE!! some models hair looked dry & damaged (adriana) I loved most of the variety this year and attention to details. I loved the Victorian Vintage feeling. I liked the shoes alot as well. I don't care much for the musical guests but hey, they grab attention anywhere they go usually so it should be an interesting show. I would like to see more classic things like an angel flying in or a nice instrumental play- (piano intro) It would also be nice to have a "sexy santa" theme again. Bringing christmas into the show would have been nice touch. overall i think its going to be a great show, but we always compare to the lovely 2005 show, which it will never be again. Im really excited for the show & I hope the images that we see are translated well into motion. I hope for A+ editing but we all know, its not gunna happen.

7/10

On another note...

I was sooooo happy about limas outfits this year, the black and purple spot on, I.agree.with.pretty the red wrap thingy wasnt needed, the super angel out was.better.then last years god awful sports themed one

After seeing a some videos i confirmed what i knew, Candice's opening was extremely weak :no: Miranda on the other hand, owned that Ballet segment, i think she would have been perfect to open

Why on earth did they send Joan down the runway in lingerie and a diaphragm cape?

I agree with you ... After seeing this last video Miranda should have opened the show (Ballet segment)... so beautiful... candice was better last year, was my favorite ... this year she does not have the same brightness :idk: hope to see the rest of the show, but the opening was very weak with her ... I do not really like miranda, but loved watching his eyes, his expression as he walked, a lot of elegance and sensuality :heart:
