Is there a video of Bee's opening? I haven't seen it...

I don't understand why they say the models have to be fit as hell for the show (thats why Kelly didnt make it) but then they cover up their bodies anyways especially abs??? 

 

 

Lilly looked the oldest there, like she is 45 years old, she looked the worst at backstage, fb was tragic, her walk was tragic.

 

I have to agree on this. And I like(d) Lilly.

 

I like Lilly too, don't get me wrong, but it is impossible not to notice.

Those energy levels are god damn tranquilizer worthy Behati you better settle your shit right down.

 

Except for the first segment the music is bloody atrocious on every level.... and slow. Also closing the show with a song about cocaine and drug dependency amazing!

So far from looking at picture my favorite

How This Victoria’s Secret Rookie Went From the Mall to the Catwalk

Few fairy tales are set in Columbus, Ohio, but that’s where Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show rookie Megan Puleri’s begins. On one fateful day in the city’s mall, Puleri’s parents ran into Ed Razek, the chief marketing officer of Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands and one of the deciding voices in casting models for the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Having met him decades earlier at a tennis tournament, they thought they’d try their hand soliciting him for advice for their daughter who dreamed of modeling for the brand.

“I was shopping for a shirt—literally—and this very sweet lady came up to me,” Razek recalls with a laugh. “I try to avoid that sort of thing entirely because I’m approached about it by email, text, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter every day of my life. It’s constant. Selecting models and representing models is an agency’s job and I am not in any way, ever, trying to compete with them, and frankly, I try not to even have an opinion until they’ve vetted them, so honestly I just try to leave it alone.”

So Razek said what he always says to aspiring models—“that she should finish school and go on to college, that no one makes it in the modeling industry, and that it is a very tough field to be in”—but as you might have guessed, the story doesn’t end there. “She walks over and I thought, ‘Oh, maybe you could [be a model].’ I left it at that because there’s a lot of things that are indefinable about successful models. There’s a lot of tall thin pretty girls, there’s a lot of beautiful women in the business, there’s a lot of women aspiring to be in the business, but when I met her I said, ‘You’ve got a chance.’ ”

Seventeen months passed before Puleri’s parents reached back out to Razek about a meeting, giving their daughter more time to build up her experience. The Puleris arrived in Razek’s office in Ohio, and left with recommendations for agencies in New York City. “I bend over backwards to be ruthlessly ethical about this stuff,” Razek explained, noting that while he was going to give them an agency’s contact info, he was in no way going to advocate that Megan be hired or even guarantee a spot working for Victoria’s Secret. Fast-forward a couple months and Megan was signed with IMG. Fast-forward a little more, and she had turned 18 and moved to New York City with her mother.

After what now amounted to several years of anticipation, Puleri finally found herself at the Victoria’s Secret show casting. She attended several callbacks, in which Razek recused himself from giving his opinion, and was ultimately named one of the new models cast in this year’s show. “I was so overwhelmed and elated because this has honestly been everything that I’ve been working for,” Puleri told Vogue.com. “My dream coming into modeling was that one day I might be able to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. . . . Growing up, I would see the girls walking and they just looked so happy and confident. My friends and I would have sleepovers to watch the show, and then we’d dress up and practice runway because it was just so inspiring.”

Since being cast in this year’s show, she’s gotten advice from veteran Angels likeCandice Swanepoel—“She told me that the first show is the best show, and just to be confident and relax”—but it seems that soon she’ll be the one doling out advice to runway hopefuls. For his part, Razek admits, “I was really happy that she made it, but I was more happy that she made it on her own.”

Why did Ale shush the crowd? 

 

also, Leomie's makeup in this video was better than her makeup at the show. 

Because they wouldn't shut up and let her concentrate on walking?

So, to me it was like this

Boho: let's wait and see the show; I don't like the way the runway looks like by seeing the pictures

Butterflies: some good outfits, some bad... And once again, they covered Lais' boobs...

POAA: I like it; I think Ale should have been chosen for a better outfit but I like it! Jasmine looked good on her outfit too but I'm looking to see her walk; I saw a video and I kind didn't like it

PINK: God damn PINK looks good! And surprise: Gigi Hadid! I was already spreading hate all over Twitter, Instagram and everything and CABOOM she was great in PINK! I really liked her energy!

Ice Angels: winter theme never disappoints us <3 Candice, Lais and Elsa stood out from the others! They're just perfect!! Their outfits were some of the bests in the whole show!

Fireworks: I just can't wait to see Adriana and Cindy! I'm even excited for Lily! I know her walk is awful and her look was terrible BUT I can't wait to see that runway going down with Abel I'm super excited to see the opening

The Angels: The Oldest + Lais and Elsa were just perfect! The Angel factor really makes the difference! Lais was shining, and Elsa was just killing with her eyes. By the other hand, Martha was totally invisible! So were Stella, Jac, and Taylor a bit. Romee was okay to me

That's it I think

Oh, I forgot to say: I love Maria Borges, she was amazing in the show BUT she's such an attention seeker to me I mean, come on, taking selfies with Gigi like they're best friends?? the class picture in the Angels row? Come on, she's an African version of #BodyByIza

This year was better than last year IMO

Btw just saw the Weeknd in Newark. Bloody amazing live. His music is just so damn good. Really looking forward to seeing his segments at the show because they're good high energy songs.

Glad you liked! Best concert I've ever been to, exceeded my expectations and I had high ones. Literally he's going to be the best thing about this show.

 

Besides Jojo's sexy cop outfit.  

 

Looking through those HQ's maybe two or three outfits are pretty, but mostly underwhelming. I used to like Stella but she has the same expression in every photo, video, and it's getting super boring. Magda getting one outfit what is this anarchy  

 

Also Ellie sounded worse than Selena  

The opening songs are getting worse and worse...2014 and this year were just underwhelming 

Why was Bellazon down for almost whole day?

Why was Bellazon down for almost whole day?

 

Because server issues happen and the forum owner wasn't aware of the issues till he attempted to login.

I thought you were the owner Pretty

Just noticed it now - Romee resembles Candice in certain angles. I'm watching the VS Backstage on Fashion TV

^ Your icon kills me, victorscloset.

I frequently have to do double-takes at Romee to decipher if it's her or Candice. Victorscloset, please tell me your avi is a joke. 

My two cents from the pics and few videos:

 

Segments: Loved Ice Angels, Firework & Pink. POAA & EB looked fine, Boho mostly awful.

Music: Promising. Except Ellie's Song for EB. Adriana  seemed to be so confused, too.

Setting: Looked awesome I think. Loved what they did with the stage & background.

Models: Loved all the newest angels. Romee has grown on me. She looked fantastic in Ice Angels. All the veterans were great, too.

I think Kendull looked out of place. Strange couse I actually expected her to fit in well.

Outfits: Too much recycling for my taste + this covering up the whole body has got to stop...There were some great outfits though. The simpler ones are always the best.  (Y)

 

Overall I think the casting was a letdown compared to last year and as others have said it, this did not feel like an 20th anniversay show. 

 

Looking forward to the broadcast!
