Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Quite the Production
The sexy Victoria’s Secret Angels can be seen strutting down the runway on Tuesday in $3 million bras, famous wings and lingerie, but what viewers won’t be able to see on the catwalk is the endless hours of work that go into the show.
Shot at Lexington Armory, the show was all about illusions of the model’s beautiful bodies on the runway. Makeup and hair, which can take hours, is started 3-5 hours before the show begins with an entourage of 5 people working on 38 models.
Next, the models are squeezed and fitted into their lingerie.
Model Selita Ebanks hit the runway in a sharp lightning bolt across her stomach. “They added a 15-pound sandbag to my hip so the points wouldn’t scrape my thighs when I walked, and there was a metal rod in it. When I first came out and cut that corner, my whole body tilted to the side and I thought, ‘Oh my God, if I fall in this thing, forget my ego, my body is going to be jacked up.’”
Other items include a $3 million bra drenched in diamonds and wings that are made of huge pocket watches.
