The world's most glamorous models hit the runway in Shanghai the first time.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Victoria Secret Fashion Show features the world’s most glamorous models. They hit the runway in Shanghai on Monday, the first time the show was hosted in China.
For the 22nd year, Victoria’s Secret has assembled 55 of the world’s top supermodels from 20 countries.
Initially, the show was created as a way to advertise lingerie to men before Valentine’s Day. Today it is one of the most celebrated A-list events.
Each year since 1996 one “angel” has modelled the “fantasy bra”. The Lais Ribeiro carried 300 carats down the catwalk. The Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra took nearly 350 hours to create. The bra features diamonds, yellow sapphires and blue topaz and costs € 1.7 million.
