I copied as much as I could before paywall. Lol @ us naming and figuring out the segment weeks ago based on pretty much nothing:

The Victoria’s Secret Angel will take the New York-set runway in the more than 125,000 Swarovski crystal-embellished Shooting Star look during the show's Celestial Angel part.

By Emily Mercer on November 7, 2018

“This year’s is one of my all-time favorite looks we’ve done,” mused Monica Mitro, Victoria’s Secret’s executive vice president of brand communication and events, of the coveted 2018 Swarovski Look. Victoria’s Secret Angel Romee Strijd was chosen to strut this year’s Shooting Star Swarovski Look during the Celestial Angel part of the show on Thursday.

The look is collectively adorned with over 125,000 Swarovski crystals — with more than 55,000 on the celestial star wing and 70,000 on the full-body sheer, black bodysuit (worn over a lacy black bra and matching, cheeky briefs). The 3-D mono-wing, which breaks the traditional paired wing concept and was designed by Marian Hose, includes a seven-pointed crystal-encrusted star with circular cutouts and suspended, oversized Chessboard crystals. The bodysuit is adorned with clear and silvernight colored flat-back hotfix and sew-on crystals cut into stars, moons, rhombuses, triangles, classic drop pendants and more that cascade from the neck down to give stardust and constellation effects. The look weighs 27 pounds and it took more than 250 hours to apply the Swarovski crystals to the wing alone.

I would never even notice that was a Swarovski outfit  yikes. The outfit itself is alright but the wings? It looks like a Christmas tree ornament.....potential holiday themed segment anyone? 

No it is in the celestial segment, believe it or not, but there are stars all over her body when you look closer.

I wanted the SO to get it from Jas but now I'm really glad she did not get it LMAO I hope that at least the color is flattering because until now the suit looks horrible

[ceceshores]

So Elsa (FB), Romee (SO) and Martha are most likely in the Celestial Angel segment.

@ceceshores For some reason, my laptop won't let me click on the link, can you tell me what is the price, if it was written in the article?

In the preview it doesn't say. It mentions how many crystals that were used but that's it!

Ouch...

Yesss Romee. Finally she’s starting to get shit. She looks good despite the outfit being dodgy. It’s time VS really invests in Romee, potential is written all over her. 

[GlitterAndWings]

The stones should've been golden instead of silver. I know they're using silver a lot, but a golden color would make it a million times better.

[almanaotemcor]

Seriously they put the star of Bethlehem to Romee?

[toodarnhot]

I'm going to guess this photo was from the first fitting, since that's when all the girls had hair and make up done for press, because it's very ill fitting in that picture. 

[unali]

It is so ugly, it looked so much better in a black and white photo.

And that Romee smile is the fakest one ever she is like I can't believe I have to wear this shit.

 

[ceceshores]

I really, really dislike the "wings" on Romee's outfit. The bodysuit could be worse I guess.

[Isabell]

Guys will you ever be happy with anything? It's getting ridiculous at this point.

[PastaFreak]

oooof. The mess that this year's show is about to be...
