All Of The Models Walking In The 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
The countdown is now on
Update (30/10): Last week a handful of the beauties that will be walking in the 2016 Victoria’s Secret were announced. Across the weekend, a more extensive line-up was revealed across various sources.
Karlie Kloss is set to return to the stage, having “retired” her Angel wings in 2014 to focus on her studies and other projects, and Kendall Jenner will return to the catwalk for a second time after making her debut last year alongside best friend Gigi Hadid (who is also returning).
Irina Shayk will also make an appearance, her first time on the catwalk for the brand, although she has modelled for the highly coveted catalogue previously.
In the wake of Kim Kardashian West‘s terrifying robbery in the city, the brand is said to be upping its security measures ahead of the highly-anticipated show. In a statement emailed to registering press, the brand wrote, “Due to heightened security, we will be doing background checks on all personnel,” and according to Page Six, journalists were asked to provide names, place of birth and emergency contact details on their applications.

Original article (27/10): News broke yesterday that Bella Hadid will make her Victoria’s Secret fashion show debut this year, and more of the line-up has been announced overnight.
It will be a sister act with Gigi Hadid confirming that she will return to the famous catwalk, which is being held in Paris this year, and they will be joined by Australian model Bridget Malcolm, Kelly Gale, Georgia Fowler and Iza Goulart. Clearly all of those intense workouts have paid off.
It was also announced that this year’s Fantasy Bra will be worn by 25-year-old Jasmine Tookes. The lingerie brand shared a sweet video of the model being told she had been chosen on their Instagram, with best friends Elsa Hosk, Taylor Hill and Josephine Skriver squealing in delight at the announcement.
This year’s Fantasy Bra is worth a whopping Dhs11,019,450 (compared to last year’s Dhs7,346,300) and was designed by Eddie Borgo. It features hand-crafted jewels from Beirut-based fine jewellers AW Mouzannar and includes over 9,000 precious gems, including diamonds and emeralds, each of which were hand-set. Bazaar US reports that it weighs 450 carats and took more than 700 hours to make.
The show airs on December 5.
