Everything you ever wanted to know about the Victoria's Secret fashion show is here


A total of 55 supermodels appeared on the show, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Aldridge, Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk, Martha Hunt and 15 other signed angels. And six Chinese models Liu Wen, He Sui, Xi Mengyao, Ju Xiaowen, Xie Xin, Wang Yi and Chinese model Chen Yu.

Daxiu has 88 costumes and 39 pairs of wings (the heaviest wing weighs 20 pounds). Every year, the most eye-catching element of Victoria's Secret is the Fantasy Bra, and this year's Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra is hand-set with nearly 6,000 precious stones, which takes nearly 350 hours and is worth up to $2 million. It was performed by Brazilian supermodel Lais Ribeiro. The $1 million Swarovski show was performed by Elsa Hosk.

Let's start with the runway. This year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is divided into six themes, which are: Punk Angel, Porcelain Angels, A Winter's Tale, Millennial Nation, Goddesses, and Nomadic Adventure: A nomadic journey.

With the theme Punk Angel, the collaboration with Balmain marks the first time Victoria's Secret has collaborated with another clothing brand, and the pieces featured on the show are only part of a collection that will be sold after the show. Over-the-top accessories, studs and pins, ripped denim, leather, plaid -- all elements that hit the streets this year -- were sexy and powerful on the Victoria's Secret runway.

Among the Porcelain Angels, the most striking thing is the blue and white porcelain capes worn by the angels. The blue and white porcelain patterns are all hand-painted and fresh. Victoria's Secret is coming to China for the first time, and the theme seems to be a more subtle expression of Chinese style, a more modern blend than traditional symbols such as dragons and phoenixes, red, and Chinese knots.

This time, the theme of "A Winter's Tale" adds many ethnic elements to a piece of white - from tassels and overlong pendants to furry wings and lace-up Roman shoes, bringing out a thousand exotic styles.

Millennial Nation is the must-have PINK theme of Victoria's Secret every year, and this time, the popular millennial powder is integrated into it, matching with sports-style clothes, full of youthful vitality.

Goddesses In the Goddesses theme, twelve models personate noble and elegant Greek goddesses, wearing golden olive crowns and lithe capes, representing the more feminine side of women. In this theme, the accessory details of the waist and arms, as well as the wings in the shape of plants or angels are very delicate and beautiful.

The theme of Nomadic Adventure is a fusion of diverse ethnic cultures such as America and Africa. Its layered necklaces and colorful feathered wings reflect the primitive and free atmosphere.

Elsa Hosk's Swarovski show also featured in the segment, which was made up of more than 275,000 crystals, 200 yards of ribbon, encrusted crystals, beaded jewelry and crystal-encrusted wing straps, worth $1 million and weighing 14 pounds (12.7 pounds).

Guest performers include Harry Styles, Miguel, and Leslie Odom Jr. And Jane Zhang, the first Chinese singer to walk in the Victoria's Secret fashion show, gave a wonderful performance.

With supermodel Olivier Rousteing, the collaboration with Balmain marks the first time Victoria's Secret has collaborated with another clothing brand.

Alessandra Ambrosio getting her hair done. Alessandra Ambrosio tells us that in order to look her most confident at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, supermodels actually start preparing for months before the show.

Josephine Skriver, the Danish angel on the left, says she uses a daily body lotion containing coconut oil and shea butter to keep her skin smooth and supple. And, of course, drink lots and lots of water. Jasmine Tookes, right, shared that she uses a lot of sunscreen on the beach in order to avoid sunburn. She also sprays rose water whenever she's in the sun to keep her skin hydrated.

Bella Hadid also shared her diet with us: During her training, she only eats whole grains and refuses any additives. Because this not only keeps you in shape, but also promotes skin detoxification.

Many supermodels also told us that the biggest misconception about them is that they don't eat anything. In fact, supermodels just eat healthier, they will eat a lot of protein before training, milk, almonds, peas can not be less.

The body management before the show is also very important, Lily Aldridge told us that angels have a body not by hunger, but by fitness.

And, of course, there's one last thing to remember: get enough sleep.

Daniela Braga blew us a kiss, and what you saw was the angels smiling and blowing kisses in front of the stage, but what you didn't see was the average velvet matte lip gloss they used backstage to create more seductive lips.

Every angel has a lethal electric eye, and such a natural, three-dimensional eye makeup effect, to rely on dozens of mascara to present. Backstage, the makeup even went down to the nails, with a total of 11 manicurists working on the angels to ensure they looked their best from head to toe.

Victoria's Secret's first Fantasy Bra was released in 1996, when a five-story photo of Claudia Schiffer wearing the million-dollar Bra caused a stir in front of the brand's New York store.

Think $2 million bra is expensive this year? In fact, it is only a fraction of the Gisele Bundchen Red Hot Dream bra from 2000, which uses 1,300 carats of diamonds and Thai rubies and is worth $15 million, setting the Guinness World record for the most expensive underwear.

Many people are concerned about the fate of the Fantasy Bra. In fact, after the display, the underwear will be publicly sold, if there is no buyer within a year, the stones will be dismantled and reused.

And the Victoria's Secret angel wings that every girl dreams of now, actually didn't appear on the show in the first place. In 1997, Karen Mulder wore the first pair of wings in Victoria's Secret history, pure white and flawless, like a true angel.

Later, Victoria's Secret wings left too many classic images. If you're familiar with Victoria's Secret, you'll remember Heidi Klum's pair of the largest wings in Victoria's Secret history back in 2003.

In the 22 years of Victoria's Secret, has there ever been a single year without a show? The answer is that in 2004, due to the "Super Bowl incident", the 2004 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was changed to a tour of the United States by Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, which made for a classic moment.

In 2007, Victoria's Secret was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the angels were there to help. Keep an eye out for the stars next time you're in LA.

In fact, for supermodels, Victoria's Secret is more like a holiday party of their own. In 2010, the 15th anniversary of Victoria's Secret, many former ambassadors, such as Karolina Kurkova, returned to the warm family. Isn't Karlie Kloss back this year?
