The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is something we look forward to year after year and this year’s instalment of the lingerie-filled extravaganza was no less magical. The Angels strut their stuff on the grand runway, showcasing heart-stopping looks that included the diamond-encrusted Fantasy Bra, drool-worthy bodysuits and psychedelic garbs fit only for the fearless. Here, we round up the highlights, must-see looks and also some of the first-timers who walked their first VS Fashion Show ever!
Highlights
One of the longest standing Angels ever, Adriana Lima, shed an emotional tear as she walked the VS Fashion Show runway for the final time. To date, the 37-year-old Brazilian beauty has walked 20 shows for the lingerie brand. She announced her retirement shortly before the glamorous event saying on Instagram, “Dear Victoria, Thank you for showing me the world, sharing your secrets, and most importantly not just giving me wings but teaching me to fly. ❤️ to the best fans in the 🌎! Love, Adriana 💖”
Long time favourite Behati Prinsloo had taken a two year-long hiatus from the VS Fashion Show due to two pregnancies with her pop star husband Adam Levine, and she stunned the crowd on the runway with her phenomenal post-baby body. Who would’ve thought she has had TWO babies?!
The lucky VS Angel handpicked to honourably display the 2018 Fantasy Bra was none other than Elsa Hosk. The Swedish model graced the runway in the dazzling bralette and a matching body chain, worth over $1,000,000. The work of art features 2,100 Swarovski diamonds and took 930 hours to complete.
