Taylor looks hot! What is this?  Love the long pink lacy robe.  Did Taylor crack a note during the end of the second verse? It’s okay, this is one of her better recent songs (looking at you, “Shake it Off”). If so, she definitely redeemed herself with the rest of the song!  I love her early stuff, but her voice has definitely gotten significantly stronger over the course of her career.

The wings are so dainty and feminine!  Most, if not all of them seem to be of a smaller or medium size. Perfect reflection of the line.  A lot of chiffon, baby pink, and feathery and lace(black and white) accents.  I like how this line can show that garter belts can be paired with lingerie and have a sexy, but not over the top vibe.

Adrianna and Alessandra got called 2 of the best models in the world!  I definitely have to agree.  I guess this is why they got chosen to wear the Fantasy Bras… I’ll get to that later! I hope their friendship is really that genuine.  They seem to get along well, and modeling can definitely be a girl-against-girl industry. 

Not too much to add about his performance! His voice is always amazing.  It added just the right background to the show.

THE FANTASY BRAS!  Oh my. I got chills!  The sparkle is incredible.  I love the contrasting red and blue designs.  Unfortunate that they were only worth $2 million this year, as last year’s was worth $10 million(Candice wore it!).  I suppose it was because there were two, instead of one – probably a lot more production cost had to go into making them as well.

The first few models jumped right into the atmosphere change, entering wearing a lot of red - this is a much more vibrant collection than the Dream Girls.  I’m seeing a lot of vibrant colors, some neon, and a good bit of fringe, feather, and some tribal accents.  The lingerie itself is much trendier rather than classic.  There are more corset accessories being used than the garter belts, which isn't what I would have expected! I love how the lack of Angel wings doesn't make the line look any less extravagant; there really is no need for them – the lingerie doesn't need anything extra to carry it.

The seasonal Victoria's Secret ad in between lines was incredible.  Definitely makes me want to blow my entire paycheck on lingerie.  I have to wear real clothes to work and class? Oh. That’s a bummer.

 I’m sorry, something about her just annoys me. “I wanna spank a booty!” Yeah, because the models really need you disrupting their concentration.  Sorry, I’m a hater, I know!  She is so talented, and I do enjoy the song, but I just need (NEED) her to enunciate.  Please?  That’s not too much to ask for.  She was a good pick for the PINK line though – PINK is VS younger line, and Ariana comes off as a kid trying to desperately to act older and sexy (okay, I’m done dogging her. Promise). 

Love the graffiti wings to kick it off!  PINK is a collection that I like because it doesn't “have” to be sexy.  Yes, it is sexy, but it’s also casual and a lot more wearable – not just decorative.  I like the simplicity of the PINK line this year – it’s been way too pattern heavy the last few years.  I still see a lot of variation and animal print, which is great, but there are a lot more simplistic and solid styles too.  I like the sportiness the PINK line has. I've worn PINK practically since it started, and I think that’s great – it’s something younger girls (the target demo is collegiate age, but it’s very popular with high school girls as well) can wear without being too over the top.  Not that I am encouraging underage girls to go out and strut around in lingerie!  The clothing part of the line is also great, because it’s signature without being necessarily revealing. 

What a beautiful song, what a beautiful voice.  Love the eerie fairy tale backdrop, and mixed with the haunting music - I really have nothing to add, he did so amazingly!

The wings are so dainty and majestic! The first set is to die for.  I like the nontraditional garter belt, and the light pink of the lingerie paired with the tattered grey wings.  The second model also had something similar to a resting peacock's tail, more than a set of wings – very unique.  There is just so much to love about this line.  There is a lot that feels a little darker, even though the actual hues are still very light and pastel.  The overall feel to the line is sexy and mysterious. A lot of the accessories are very traditional “nightie” style with plenty of chiffon, but not matronly at all - plenty of sheer and skin-baring sets.  The lingerie itself seems to play homage to early Victoria's Secret styles – their traditional black and baby pink colors, overlays of lace accents, and thong/barely-there styles of panties. Definitely, without a shadow of a doubt my favorite line thus far.

Love Karlie’s monologue on ballet.  Everyone needs a passion, and it’s nice to show more depth to the models.  Modeling itself is an art, and I enjoyed her comparison between them.

I like her black lace ensemble!  She really made a great transition to match this collection’s style.  If you would have asked me a year ago if she was a good choice for the show (even though I've always been a fan!) I probably wouldn't have picked her – but she definitely gets a ‘bravo’ from me!

I love the switch from lighter pastels in previous collections to the surge of black and edgy accents.  I still see some feathers and chiffon, but they are much more sexy and sultry in placement and design.  This is definitely not as innocent as the Dream Girls line, but what I love is that it is still so classy!  I like the see-through “corset-like” accessories.  There are a lot of geometrical crossing designs with straps, both on the bras and panties – something that was also seen in a few ensembles in last year’s show that has definitely picked up in popularity within this year.  Plenty of black lace, which is of course nothing new, but I like the variation of styles mixed within it.  The glitter/feather high-low cape dress was amazing.  Plenty of feather wings – mostly black, but a few white here and there!  This collection may have won me over, over the Fairy Tale line.  Much more traditional lingerie than the first few collections, for sure!  Another great showcase of the signature “Victoria’s Secret” style.

 

Beautiful glittering backdrop,  Everyone looks beautiful and perfect!  

What a great show.  What did you all think of the show?  How did you feel about the collections modeled?  Notice anything I didn't?  Let me know!
