Why You Need to Watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at NSU chapter.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion has kicked off the holiday season for over 17 years. What has become the biggest fashion show in the world is so iconic that it leaves viewers worldwide captivated. The question is, why are people, women especially, so excited over this fashion show?

Victoria’s Secret hosts this amazing show annually to showcase the world’s most successful models, along with their very own Victoria’s Secret angels. The models are used to display designs for the brands upcoming collections and the featured designers. These designers partner with VS to create an exclusive line in celebration of the fashion show. This year, Victoria Secrets partnered with designer Mary Katrantzou, who has designed a vibrant holiday collection filled with bright colors and fun floral prints. 

The show itself is an extravagant occasion that hosts some of today’s biggest celebrities, and the performance line up is something you wont want to miss. This year the performance lineup includes, Bebe Rexha, Rita Ora, The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Leela James, Kelsea Ballerini, The Struts, and Shawn Mendes. You basically have an entire music festival right in your living room! Are you sold yet?

Now, a moment of silence for the Fantasy Bra….

Yes, this bra gets its own moment in this article, because it’s that special, okay? At this year’s show, Elsa Husk was chosen to walk down the runaway in this year’s fantasy bra. “A one-of-a-kind creation made of 2,100 Swarovski created diamonds.” Oh yeah, the bra is worth one million dollars, which is probably another reason why it’s the most anticipated part of the show. Being chosen to wear the Fantasy bra for the show is an honor. The fantasy bra is an historical part of the show that has been carried on since a year after the first VS show. Another great thing about the fantasy bra is that VS creates an inspired look for women to shop. That’s right ladies, you can have your lovely lady lumps in a bra that looks like the fantasy bra just without the one million dollars part.

Speaking of shopping, the VS fashion show is a great way to get an idea of what styles are available in store for you to purchase. Leading up to the show, VS does a lot of in-store and online promotions. So, if you’re an avid panty enthusiast like myself, you better get on the 10 for $35 sales going on right now until 11/12.

I believe my work here is done. I’ve given you the facts, and I believe you will use them to the best of your ability. Now, grab your best girlfriends, and tune in for The Victoria Secrets Fashion on December 2nd 10/9C on ABC.
