I think they could have used the stairs for the opening and closing, put two models without heavy wings and who are strong walkers. Adriana would have slayed an opening in the stairs, then the rest of the models can walk and have the rest of the show without using them until the last model walks, Jasmine coming down the stairs with the Fantasy Bra would have been a major win. I mean I think the aesthetic with the stairs would have been beautiful but also a pain in the ass so i totally understand it. I hope they use them like in 2003 but it's a long shot they will use them at all.

I never thought the stairs could work while the girls have wings, or in the segments... but for the finale to put all the model in the stairs and the Angels in the ground would have look extremly beautiful, something like in 2007 but with the stairs... never mind, the (amazing) stair are useless for VS

+1 this is what I was hoping they would've done. It was have been a good way to showcase the beautiful staircase since the models take their wings off during the finale.

Completly agree with you

They are not using the stairs of the Grand Palais vía 10 mag snapchat 

I would hope not. The insurance rates alone for each model would kill the show's budget. Walking down, or up the stairs in heavy wings and heels + blinding flashing lights is a nightmare scenario waiting to happen.... But the lolz that could be had.

Very unnatural color IMO. but still, Stella's face is perfect.

Both Stella and that hideous bodysuit are tragic in every sense of the word. IMO she has zero sex appeal and always looks comical when she tries to be "seductive".

^ agree, just..

Spoiler

I am starting to warm up to Stella

 

I am so intrigued to see how they'll fit Grand Palais' antiqueness look to VSFS's modern look

Can't wait to see Stella open her segment in that. The colours/gems are going to look gorgeous under the lights. 

I think Stella is really pretty! I'm amazed at her eyes, they are sooo blue. Very alluring. Didn't she win some "Sexiest Woman" thing recently?

She looks quite 'porno' in that pic above... LOL 

 

Edit: she looks great in this picture

Sadly, I don't think they´re using much of the Grand Palais 'antiqueness'...

Well.. just imagine the big background screen and all the lighting plus more screen from each side of the audience... still hoping they use ir wisely.

I think Stella looks 100% flawless on that bodysuit and I'm happy she's opening the segment, girlfriend had a 2016 and it's nice to see this. She has a different appeal than the rest of the girls, I feel like her vibe adds some diversity to the brand (as in not having to be all girly, feminine to be sexy) which is always nice.

Is Dilone a lesbian? Sorry for the blunt question but I'm curious, does anyone know? 

Okay that crotch area is extremely ugly, it looks like Stella has a pouch or a dick. I also think that the nude bodysuit covers her up a bit too much, it’s not very realistic looking. However, the way they did the “knees” and highlighted the proportions of her legs is a fun idea.
