On Tuesday, the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was broadcast in the US. After a dramatic lead up to the show, 55 women hit the catwalk in glamorous ensembles.
Back in August, 61 models were initially cast to walk in the runway, but a series of mishaps reportedly prevented five models, including Gigi Hadid, from getting visas to travel to Shanghai, China, where the fashion show was held last week.
Thirteen of the 14 official Victoria's Secret Angels— including favorites like Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel — were joined by 14 newcomers and 28 returning models. While Bella Hadid is one of the latter, Kendall Jenner reportedly didn't walk the runway due to her contract as the face of a competing lingerie brand. And out of the newcomers, viewers should keep an eye out for promising models like Aiden Curtiss, Frida Aasen, and Xin Xie.
