Flashy, unapologetic, and dripping with rhinestones, the Victoria’s Secret show is a glittering parade of barely-there lace, sculpted physiques and the top model status. The spectacle is equal parts dream and excess, acting as a stage for fashion-fuelled fantasy to come to life. In short, no granny pants to be seen here.
Following a six-year-long hiatus, the highly-anticipated bash returned to the style sphere with a bang, welcoming swathes of celebrities and influencers alike through its jewel-encrusted doors on Tuesday night.
However, a generous handful of iconic VS models did not return to the runway, leaving the house’s loyal followers perplexed.
Former 'Angels' such as Cara Delevingne,Elsa Hosk, Winnie Harlow, Karlie Kloss and Stella Maxwell were noticeably absent from the star-spangled ‘do, with many onlookers asking, why?
