So Let’s Talk, VS Fashion Show

Posted on December 10, 2014 by SMM

The models, the looks, the performances, all unbelievably amazing and stunning! What a show! For the 2014 Victoria Secret ‘s Fashion Show, Karlie Kloss, Behati Prinsloo, Adriana Lima, and all of the VS models hopped the pond to work their wings in London. Here are some of my most fave looks and the gorgeous models who rocked them on the runway!

Karlie Kloss strutting right alongside her BFF Taylor Swift, one of the many great performers for the VS show!

T.Swift & Maria Borges — Another fun performance, different model, both still look fab!!

Ariana Grande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindsay Ellingson — What a mystical fairy nymph is she, beautiful shimmery wings, great mint green color, LOVE!

Lindsay Ellingson — Making a grand entrance for sure as she’s fully opening her cape, stunning golden over-sized wings, shimmer gold & sparkle all over, What a look!

Candice Swanepoel — Looking stunning in this sexy, lacy bra & panty coordinating set, perfectly coordinating also with her dark feathered angel wings!

Adriana Lima & Alessandra Ambrosio — wearing coordinating red and royal blue $2 million Dream Angels Fantasy Bras, Ed Sheeran, strumming away!

Joan Smalls — I’m loving these lacy black numbers, but adding some polka dots, netting, the hosiery, dying over this one for sure!!

Jourdan Dunn — lace bra and panty set, silver bustier and shoes, and mauve, semi-sheer fairy wings. Jourdan is for sure a mystical fairy-like Angel here — Love it!

Karlie Kloss — I think Karlie got many of my fave looks, but also some of the better ones, including this rose pink bustier set. And my, how fun are those petal-like wings!

Adriana Lima — Loving this sheer voluminous mini skirt, another gorgeous black, lacy, polka dot #!

Alessandra Ambrosio – Black looks ruled the night, so you have to then include this sheer black 2-piece set. Alessandra works the entire look, including the thigh-high hose and those stunning great lace-up booties!
