The most ridiculous outfits on the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show


Since the last Victoria’s Secret post has been a moderate hit, it’s slow today, and there are plenty more photos – here’s another post. We’re featuring some of the women you may not have heard of. I mean I don’t know who any of these people are, but I barely pay attention to the Victoria’s Secret Angels unless they’re saying something ridiculous or dating someone famous. There are some interesting outfits in here, because it looks like the stylists made the Angels lowest on the totem pole wear the most ridiculous getups. It makes me wonder what the theme was. There are some holiday outfits, some carnival-type looks, and a lot of sexy twists on what should be otherwise innocent.

Above is an Angel named Jessica Hart wearing an outfit in which her vag is supposed to look like a bicycle seat. This looks like something Lady Gaga’s people would cook up.

Here’s someone named Karlie Kloss in a Native American headdress, fringed booties and some turquoise jewelry atop animal-print bra and panties. So wrong.

A chick named Toni Garm was supposed to be a sexy clown, I guess, complete with balloons on her back and an ugly loose clown shirt with a cut out to show her cleavage, of course. Look who’s coming to entertain you at your birthday party, Petey!

Along those same lines we have “sexy court jester.” This is an angel called Barbara Fialho. Ok, after this point I’m going to stop naming people as the agency doesn’t have IDs for all these Angels. I hope you don’t mind.

What is this thing? There are feathers, there’s a golden arch heart, there’s pink bows. It’s like a three year-old’s craft project.

Sexy cowgirl, I get it. This isn’t bad comparatively, but these outfits have a disturbing juvenile theme.

Sexy cheerleader

Sexy Santa

Sexy Maypole girl

Sexy Morton’s salt girl.

Sexy rainbow sock monkey? What the hell?!

Sexy soccer girl bothers me on a lot of levels.

Tiger motocross daredevil.

Sexy knife target

What is this? It’s some kind of storybook getup.

UMM?! It’s hot tinker toy girl. NOOOO!!!

Put her together with Justin Bieber and it makes sense.

    I miss the other charismatic angels a la Oluchi, Gisele, Heidi..sigh

    • Meaghan says:

      Me too, the expressions on these girls faces are hilarious, not sexy. Love the wink with her tongue out face the most (by love I mean love to laugh at)

    • smith says:

      Someone raided the “Toddlers and Tiaras” costume closet!!

      • Susan says:

        Guffaw!

        Yes, the theme of this show is just wrong on so many levels. These outfits seem rather tacky and, well, cheap. But, I suppose VS is banking on targeting the younger school aged buyer, which could explain why these models look so young and only slightly pubescent. And why they would get that Bieber character to “sing”/drag his trousers around on stage.

        Sigh.

    • Lishka says:

      And then to top it all they had a toddler singing! *SMH* about the choice of Bieber!

    • M says:

      Gisele is a great model but she made a terrible angel. She was far too serious for such a light hearted and fun runway.

  2. DeltaJuliet says:

    The f_ck?

    Who comes up with this stuff? And seriously, I get that sex is crucial to their image but I am tired of *everything* being turned into a “sexy” version of itself.

    • BooBooLaRue says:

      This exactly.

    • gg says:

      ^ thank you. How appropriate they have mister saggy drawers singing for this crap.

      Why they bother doing this masturbfest pretending you could purchase this stuff is beyond me. Most of it isn’t even garments. Fashion shows just piss me off with their stupidity. The designers just do them to impress each other.

      • Minty says:

        I wouldn’t even call VS a fashion show. It’s an over-the-top circus/drag/burlesque act.

        As outlandish as real high fashion can be, at least couture designers show off the quality craftsmanship: the many many hours of tailoring, embroidery, and beading done by hand. Plus, they often use dramatic, but very artistic hair and makeup.

        VS designers seem to have a misogynistic streak when it comes to grown women. They put malnourished teen-looking models in lingerie few would buy. They are sexualizing/fetishizing childhood costumes or keeping the imagery to a state of arrested puberty. I’m surprised VS didn’t have Katy Perry appear again (Candyland with a porn aesthetic), since this is the same kind of shit she pushes. Ah, but getting Bieber to sing just compliments this twisted marketing to teens.

        The models here are either interchangeable long-haired blondes or interchangeable long-haired brunette “Brazilian” types. It’s hard to tell them apart.

        The outfit with the handlebars (1st photo) has been done before. Way back in ’92, Thierry Mugler had a similar outfit (leotard with motorcycle handles) that was shown in George Michael’s Too Funky music video, which was set in a mock fashion show.

        30 years ago, VS was known for producing high quality lingerie. Now it makes overpriced crap that’s promoted with this clusterf-ck of a show. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough.

      • Kimbob says:

        @gg, thanks for your refreshingly honest comment. That’s exactly what this is….a MASTURBFEST.

        These are cheap, misogynist costumes…in that 2nd shot of tinker toy girl, her plastic “belt” looks so damn tight that she could pass out from lack of oxygen…it’s just beyond ridiculous!

      • Gretchen says:

        @Minty
        “They are sexualizing/fetishizing childhood costumes or keeping the imagery to a state of arrested puberty.”

        Exactly. And it is gross. It is sh*t like this that make guys think it’s ok to sexual harass girls in school uniform…I mean they’re all of 11-16 years old, don’t know that school uniforms are “sexy” because porn and this sort of crap says so? Oh wait, no, because they’re just trying to get to school. Yuck

    • Carolyn says:

      VS lingerie is really crap. That’s why they have these ridiculous outfits and this PR pageant. They hope we won’t notice…zzzz…

      I miss the early days of VS shows where eveything was a lot simpler, the focus was on the lingerie and the girls were far more naturally made up.

      I’m embarrassed for this year’s models. They looks very silly and NOT at all sexy!!!

  3. derpina says:

    Why are the outfits so childish?

    • judyjudy says:

      It’s totally disturbing.

    • gg says:

      Because they’re insane, that’s why.

    • Lizzy says:

      Yeah, it’s creepy. I get that most of the models are young, but dressing them up in even younger – as in per-pubescent – themes is inappropriate. I guess we can be happy they didn’t have them licking giant lollipops or sucking pacifiers.

    • Milla says:

      I want to know that too. These are not outfits, these are costumes for K. Perry and Rihanna and all the lost girls who see them as role models.
      I enjoyed VSFS shows when the outfits were actually sexy and mature and models looked like real women (Adriana, Heidi, Gisele, Fontana, Naomi, Karen, Helena, Ana Beatriz, to name a few). It was powerful and feminine, this is just tacky.

    • Alexandra Bananarama says:

      Yea skeletons!

      Not all, but most of them look extremely dehydrated! For the muscle ton I see in their abs there should be more in their legs and arms.
      That shows me what muscle ton they do have is day to day muscle use and not any actual working out.

      It’s unfortunate that these photos will serve more as thinspiration than actual advertising for VS.

      • Trillion says:

        Yeah, most of these girls look downright brittle. Not voluptuous (my interpretation of the word anyway) and inviting. When women look like they deny themselves food, the last thing I can picture them doing is allowing themselves any other kind of pleasure, which renders them distinctly un-sexual. I was just looking at some early 60’s photos of Julie Newmar and Tina Louise. God, those women looked irresistibly sexy and fun in bed.

      • Christina says:

        @Trillon

        Absolutely. I said on another thread that there’s something disturbing about the whole VS thing. Although it’s ostensibly about sexy underwear there’s NOTHING sexy about this show at all. The women seem childlike and asexual, made to look ridiculous with all those ridiculous costumes.

        Whoever designed this show hates women. There is no other interpretation.

      • Daniela says:

        Christina, I have another interpretation: You are jealous

        Having a thin, toned body is HEALTHY, any doctor would tell you that, and men find them sexy.

        So get over it, get on a treadmill and they’ll desire you too.

  4. Dani says:

    For some reason I don’t think Petey would mind her at his birthday party. Just a guess. And Sexy Santa reminds me of Emma Watson.

  5. CG says:

    How long before Katy Perry co-opts some of these looks?

  6. s says:

    The sexy clown outfit looks like Christina Aguilera Halloween costume 2013.

  7. Relli says:

    OMG those were hilarious. I personally find the one with the pink bows to look more like “Sexy Grandma Bathroom,” the most funny

    But secy “Alice in wonderland” is gross and yeah the native American is totally wrong (and whats with the cheetah print)? Also sexy soccer girl looks a like McKayla Maroney…. not impressed

    • Cirque28 says:

      Lmfao at Sexy Grandma Bathroom!

    • chimchimsmom says:

      Hahahahahaha! Sexy Grandma Bathroom! My grandma had turquoise-colored crocheted toilet roll covers!

    • gg says:

      The wing/chair thing is disturbing.

      Also: Re their extreme skinniness — VS models are supposed to be “more curvy” than regular fashion models. Sooo … yeah, right.

      Thanks VS for making men think skin and bones with 5-foot long legs is the ideal. Thanks. We appreciate that. :/

      • Trillion says:

        If they look this skeletal in photos, imagine how they look in real life. Like you could just knock one of ’em down just by breathing her direction.

  8. Tapioca says:

    My, stripey Karlie Kloss has a tidy bikini line…

  9. Ms Kay says:

    Good grief…

  10. Eleonor says:

    For the bike thing…George MIchael’s Too funky video anyone?
    http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m834vkYdhI1r34icro1_400.jpg

    • Waldemar says:

      Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of too. George did it better.

    • Ally8 says:

      Knock-off of the Thierry Mugler motorcycle corset.

      I would call this show cheap and tacky, but that would be an insult to “cheap and tacky”. The juvenile themes add another layer of off-putting. I hope anyone whose boyfriend buys them junk from this store returns it.

    • BRE says:

      My first thought too, although much better in the video

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        First thing that came to my mind was the insult:

        “she’s like the town bicycle, everyone gets a ride.”

        For that reason, I would absolutely refuse to wear that get up.

  11. Katie Too says:

    WTF is going on with the first model’s (Hart’s) legs where they meet her torso? Is that caused by tape or something?

  12. Zoid says:

    Can’t stop laughing. Oh VS I love your stuff but this is just silly. How fitting they made the tinker toy girl walk near Justin’s time slot. 😀

  13. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Dying laughing. How could they do that to my beloved Tinker Toys?

    Man these girls must do so much blow before they walk out on stage (and really, who could blame them?).

    Pretty ladies but they look ridiculous.

    • Chatcat says:

      As soon as I am better I am going to the VS at the mall and demand all these in my boob size … my hubby will be amused or appalled!

    • Zoid says:

      They go on a liquid diet fast days prior to these shows so they look thin and not bloated. Sounds awful, but then I like my food 🙂

  14. fabgrrl says:

    I kinda like the Feather Heart thing. I think it is supposed to be wings, angel wings. Imagine the feathers not-so-blue, and with some better shoes. I would wear that for Carnival, or Halloween (if I still had my 23 year old figure).

    • Riana says:

      Yeah me too, everything else is absolutely hilarious but that just looks like the traditional VS Fashion Show outfit.

      The wings look like the traditional way wings used to be drawn in art, can’t remember the period.

  15. Rita says:

    The ladies inspired me to wear my wings to bed last night….my husband is still spitting up feathers. For a Wednesday, pretty good night.

  16. Sisi says:

    I like bike girls glitter panties. You know, without the handlebars…

  17. MollyB says:

    So, these are all the same: sexy cheerleader, sexy tinker toy, sexy bike, sexy santa, sexy clown, sexy jester and . . NATIVE AMERICAN?!

    • UNF Joan Jett! says:

      Yup. But hey sexism (turning women into literal objects, WTF?) and blatant racism were never so colorful and infantile. So yay ?!?

      *major side eye*

      This is a world I don´t want to live in.

  18. I love watching the VSFS every year! 🙂

    “Sexy Soccer Girl” is Cara Delevigne, probably my favorite model right now. She’s got a small role in Anna Kareninga (which I saw today – and it was SO GOOD, go see it everybody!) too and she was stunning in the movie. What’s offensive about her outfit btw?

    The clown outfits are creepy though…

    • Jane C. says:

      Yes! This is Cara’s first time working with VS. I recommend that everyone check her out. She’s refreshing in that she claims to have eaten a lot prior to the show and also wore a giant cat suit in the airport on her way to America (she is British). She took London Fashion Week by storm, apparently, and is definitely growing in popularity. Side note – there are rumors she’s seeing the youngest member of One Direction, Harry Styles. She’ll definitely be on the radar in the future.

  19. michkabibbles says:

    i’m sorry, but i love the victoria secret’s fashion show. it’s all just so bizarre.

    • Really? says:

      Yeah, eat your heart out Gaga.

      (If i had a sarcastic font on my computer, i would have so used it.)

      Though i must say, the yellow rain gear get up was pretty funny!

  20. diva says:

    Didn’t they just use to wear wings?

  21. Anonny says:

    Is Bieber carrying a load in his pants?

  22. j.eyre says:

    I had to call the hubbs over for this. What a precious post – so much, so rich. The bike? Does anyone really need a bike reference spelled out for them via a costume? Good lord, it is easy enough to earn that title.

    So many forms of wrong – I feel like Christmas has come early.

  23. What is this? It’s some kind of storybook getup. – looks like Minnie Mouse
    Sexy soccer girl and sock money – might as well be 3 year olds!
    This is just taking it and making it beyond ill. Gross.
    Also, the whole make everything into wings because they are angels, uh dress them in amazing wings and great undies or let go of the wings on costumes where it doesn’t work, like the floating pom-poms? What the?

  24. Blessie says:

    The blue one is a paper doll

    • That makes sense, still inappropriate, but I get it. I thought Minnie because of the style of clothing and because my young daughter has a Minnie that you clip plastic clothing to the front like a 3D paper doll.

    • RobN says:

      Good catch! I was thinking some weird alice in wonderland thing, but you’re right.

    • The Original Tiffany says:

      Which really confuses me because there is no lingerie on display. Why bother if not to even show the stuff. That is why this confuses me. You can barely ever see the actual stuff they sell.

      It is like the Supermodel Circus.

  25. Val says:

    This is so so awful… especially compared to last year’s amazing show.

  26. I Choose Me says:

    Wow. These are all hilariously bad! Who put this together and thought this was a good idea? Sooo tacky.

  27. Cirque28 says:

    Sexy Santa has a horribly unhealthy looking coated tongue. I wonder if she got that from fasting.

  28. Reece says:

    Said it last year, I say it now,
    I can’t tell them apart.

  29. Gine says:

    The first girl looks so embarrassed. I bet a lot of them are, but they know they have to pretend to be having fun.

  30. MG says:

    Karlie Kloss is a pretty big time model…especially since even I recognize her name. She’s in Vogue…a lot. But she’s a terrible VS model…she’s a stick figure.

  31. valleymiss says:

    Michael K at Dlisted has a *hilarious* write-up on these ridiculous outfits…

  32. bar world land says:

    I think the santa one and the feather one are cute! The rest of them…terrifying.

  33. drea says:

    The outfits have gotten to the point of ridiculous. And if you think about it, kinda off-brand because you don’t even really see the models’ bodies anymore underneath all that crap.

    Speaking of bodies, agree with everyone who’s noticed that the new set of girls are excessively stick-thin. No curves! Who needs a bra to hold nothing up? At least Heidi and Tyra’s generation looked liked they needed/appreciated some support.

  34. Ramona Q. says:

    How about a male model equivalent show with a sexy T-Ball player, sexy Big Wheel rider, and sexy I pooped my tighty whiteys. This little girl s**t is so sick 🙁

    • Christina says:

      Yes indeedy.

      A show where the men have to remove all traces of body hair, make idiotic faces at the camera, to match their idiotic costumes, call themselves ‘elves’ and prance around in ridiculous shoes. Oh, and have their knickers padded for extra impact, and do their best to look about 10 years old.

      I mean, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, and all that….

  35. lulu1 says:

    First of all, well done Celebitchy – it’s days like this I just LOVE your commentary!

    Secondly, can you imagine MEN being marketed like this? As idiots, I mean.
    This kind of imagery – participating in it, making a living from it – brings so much trouble for women in general and is a real step backwards for us and our daughters.

    We are not stick insects. We don’t give birth and spring back in two months naturally. We are not dress up dolls. We are not objects. We don’t like or enjoy the same things we did when we were five years old.

    Oh – and we wouldn’t spend two and a half million on an uncomfortable, unwearable bra even if we had it.

    How disappointed would you be if your partner handed you THAT for Christmas. And expected you to wear it! And then expected you to look like Miranda Kerr in it!

    • Ana says:

      Actually, there is at least one brand I know that markets men like this. If you need a good laugh, google “Bench Universe fashion show.” Bench is a clothing brand in the Philippines known for getting hot actors/athletes as undies endorsers and every year they have a big event very much like the VS fashion show. The things they made those poor men wear… Here’s a sample: http://twitter.com/stylebibleph/status/246266197866344448

    • UNF Joan Jett! says:

      Yes, yes, yes! It´s awful an so many levels and makes me want to scream on the inside.

  36. BRE says:

    I am wondering if they will cut the Native American from the actual show after the uproar with the NoDoubt video.

  37. dcypher1 says:

    I thought it was a fashion show that showed clothes not a circus that showed off clowns. They really should stop with the stupid props and just show the bras and panties. U cant even see the bras underneath all that crap.

    • The Original Tiffany says:

      Wow, I should have read down thread before I posted almost the same thing up there:)

      Amazing, isn’t it?

  38. TheOneAndOnly says:

    I agree Drea GO on youtube (everything fashion,music,commercials,etc. are on youtube) and watch clips of VS shows from 1995 to mid 2000s – much better much more attractive models they have turned it into a sideshow with bland anorexic models and every random celebutard prancing around lip synching who cares – rihanna wtf – like so much else in pop culture they’ve apparently lost confidence and/or talent and now resort to this silliness. Just my take.

  39. smiley says:

    i guess nicki minaj’s frumpy clown look at last times show was this years inspiration

  40. Aliad says:

    Seems like they are trying to encourage pedophiles to target little girsl

  41. Cody says:

    I am confused about the demographics or target audience of this tv show. It is tinker toy sexy girl meets sexy cheerleader meets glitter panties meets Justin Bieber. Are they aiming for elementary school boys or college age guys or screaming tween girls or Fifty Shades of Grey Mommies, can’t put my finger on it.

  42. skuddles says:

    I actually kind of like the court jester get up – if it was just the tights.

  43. Chordy says:

    Are we sure that Victoria’s Secret hasn’t gone full Stephen Colbert, because this is like a rape culture checklist of absurdity. Turning women into literal objects? Check. Infantilizing women? Check. Homogenizing women? Check. Perpetuating a single body type as acceptable? Check. Exoticizing and fetishizing native women? Check.

    Side note: why did they put a leopard print bra and panty on the native american costume? They’re not even being racist accurately.

  44. Jessica says:

    Sexy rainbow sock monkey? What the hell?! I LOVE IT!!! LMAO!!!

    • StormsMama says:

      Oh my god me too. Seriously laughing HARD. I’m breast feeding my babe and I read sexy rainbow sock monkey?! and I couldn’t contain myself. Hilarious.

  45. I'm going to Guam! says:

    After Victoriassecret fashion show 2005 (THE last good show and my personal favorite)it all went down hill….

  46. Ouyaya says:

    LOL I’m a circus performer as a profession and even I find these outfits horrendous! But I have to admit, some of the shoes and thigh highs are cute. Does anyone know where one could find them?

    • Lisa says:

      Coolest job ever! I like the shoes, too. I’d wear those yellow thigh high boots if I were taller and wouldn’t look like a damn fool.

  47. Lisa says:

    Can we stop appropriating Native culture? Be more original than that.

  48. Maritza says:

    I bet that one of these women might have been already selected by Leonardo Dicaprio to be his next girlfriend.

  49. Phil E Stein says:

    Who was the pedophile responsible for some of those outfits? Creepy and wrong.

  50. Happy21 says:

    Is it just me or has VS become a total joke?

    Not only these get ups but the models that they have chosen. Where are the women who have curves (not just tits)? If I remember correctly the VS models used to have vavavoom. These just look like a bunch of toothpicks with boobs.

    I used to actually admire the VS models’ bods and now, not so much. I’m happy to be me after seeing that this is supposed to be considered ‘sexy’

    • Lisa says:

      Yeah, I think they’ve really run out of ideas. Now they have to be as outrageous as the rest of high fashion to stay afloat.

  51. Becca says:

    SHAME on VS! Thanks for perpetuating the sexulaization of young girls…wtf?
    Phil E Stein (above) said it best…

  52. rep says:

    These girls don’t even look pretty. You can’t see them for the crap surrounding them. This Is some kind of Nike. They could not be serious.

  53. normades says:

    Most of these look like someone’s unfortunate Pinterest project.

  54. Nicole says:

    I can’t lie, I kinda like the Santa Claus costume. 🙂 The other costumes were terrible though. These models are so boring. They need to bring back Naomi, Giselle, and Heidi.

  55. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I’m still stuck on Doutzen Kroes’s ass. Holy crap it’s perfect. I’m really not offended by these. They look stupid as hell but they usually do. I’m not a fan of some the new models. Too skinny. VS is stupposed to be curvy … it is T&A after all. Sexy grandma’s bathroom comment above still has me laughing.

  56. lena80 says:

    I remember when VS used to have a certain air of classy and seductive in their brand…now their stuff is overpriced crap that falls apart after a few washes. And what in the hell is this “show”!? It’s pure garbage now.

  57. jen says:

    Agree with all of you but had to add: in response to “who are they marketing to?”, I’m not sure about your local VS but in mine, the customers are heavily tween/teen, especially the store with a large PINK storefront. Other than them, I see college aged girls and a few 20 year olds. I have begun to feel I’m too old to even be in there (I’m 29). ThIS is who they are marketing to which makes it even grosser, IMO. I think that the day I saw thongs in the girls (like, little girls/tween) department of JCPenney, I knew the end was nigh.

  58. MNFinn says:

    Thanks VS for your annual December fashion show because without your slutty lingerie it just wouldn’t seem like Christmas.

  59. BIGT says:

    Even these lesser know women have great bodies and are not super skinny looking for the most part. The most ridiculous looking outfit is on that lesbian Bieber person.

  60. Celine says:

    Honestly, I think people should stop taking this so seriously. VS show is not a fashion show, it’s an entertainment show – they’ve got singers on stage, and they don’t even sell half of the stuff the models are wearing. It’s all just for the VS image and publicity.

    As for those finding it offensive or sexist – ( like this comment: Who was the pedophile responsible for some of those outfits? Creepy and wrong.)
    I’d be much more worried about Toddlers&Tiaras and such child pageants. A lot of these models are grown up women, married and had kids, so it’s kind of not a good example on weak little girls being sexualized or whatever. And they’re not telling you to go and buy those outfits to you’re pre-teen daughter – they’re not even for sale!

    And last, this show is SUPPOSED to be over-the-top, funny, and to be taken lightly. VS is not claiming they’re doing some avant-garde high fashion here, it’s just a fun show to put on for some entertainment value.

    And Karlie Kloss is one of the hottest, most paid supermodel nowadays. Someone should do their homework better.

    • Annie says:

      Karlie is a “model of the moment” but her look/body is decidedly high fashion, not lingerie. Have no idea why vs hired her.

    • Sachi says:

      Why can’t we be worried about both? Why can’t we be offended at VS with the cultural appropriation done with the Native American headdress?

      Are people not able to multitask? Are we supposed to just think about one issue at a time?

      Wrong is wrong. Toddlers and Tiaras is wrong and Victoria’s Secret is ALSO wrong for the current direction they’re taking.

      It’s one thing to have fun and wear costumes, but it’s another to look like you’re willfully ignorant about the issues that other ethnicities and cultures have raised when it comes to people making a stereotype out of them just to make a quick buck and reducing them to mere costumes.

      Fashion itself is guilty of taking other cultures and turning them into statements, but some fashion labels do it respectfully and as an inspiration instead of just taking a Native American headdress and wearing it with an animal-printed lingerie that don’t even match with the headdress.

      Victoria’s Secret was already called out for their horrendous, tacky, gauche Japanese kimono-inspired lingerie. I guess they didn’t really care about the valid criticisms.

  61. Mazunte says:

    Horrible outfits!!! Was this a sexy underwear show or a cheap carnival?

  62. ThatWay says:

    OHMYGOD! Why are some (most!?) of them SO SKINNY! Victoria models used to have actual curves! Who wants to look at stick figures in their underwear!?!?! Blech, no thank ya!

    The thing that separated the VS models from all the other’s in the past was the fact that they had a little meat on their bones, and didn’t look like stick figures. Remember Laetitia Casta? She had curves and was gorgeous.

    The outfits look like a pedophile’s dream. It’s creepy.

  64. Daniel says:

    ok I get sexy angels, sexy nurses, sexy cops, sexy librarians, etc. But comeone, this stuff is sooo aimed at younger girls and guys. It’s just not appropriate. I think it’s degrading and insulting to women everywhere. This is coming from a guy ladies.

    Oh how I miss the sexy women. Adriana was not a skeleton of a woman. She was a real woman. Sexy doesn’t even begin to describe her. WOW. These stick bimbos are a sad example of what happens when a company which has been so successful, suddenly misses the mark in their marketing. How did VS get it so wrong? Oh crap, did Obama take over them like he did the American auto industry?

  66. Sachi says:

    These outfits look so ridiculous and tacky. The Native American one is so horrid and offensive.

    They really declined when Gisele finally left and the other models like Naomi, Oluchi, Karolina, Fernanda Tavares, Bianca Balti, Laetitia, etc. stopped participating/getting hired. Even Izabel Goulart and Selita Ebanks were much better compared to their current crop of models save for Doutzen and Miranda.

    I liked the concept before when only the VS Angels could wear the actual wings which were usually worn either to open or close a segment. Now more costumes have wings and anyone can wear them.

    The 2006 fashion show was already a sign, but after that it just plummeted. The outfits became more and more garish, and the models became too exaggerated on the runway. The music also stopped being great. No more good mash-ups and mixes of songs, but just hiring whoever is popular right now.

    I know it’s just a show and you’re not to take it seriously, but I can’t help to compare the shows from 2006-present to how they used to be back in the years 2000-2005. The shows had sexiness and class to them. The themes were well done and the designs/decor were appropriate. The models before were very sexy but more “mysterious” with only their smiles and walk making a statement, and they actually looked like women wearing lingerie, not women being made to dress like teenagers in ugly costumes!

    There’s also the, “Woohoo! Cheer for me!!!” *point to the audience and the camera and then make a silly face* wild gesticulation from the models nowadays that I find weird.

    Still one of the best VS shows:

      Agree with everything you say, except that I would put the turning point 1 year later, because I still thought 2006 was part of the good ones.

    • Carolyn says:

      Agree with all bloggers:
      1. The girls aren’t sexy anymore
      2. The pointing at the crowd and silly faces aren’t sexy
      3. The 2005/6 shows are the last really good ones
      4. Jess Hart’s bike handlebars are a rip off of Mugler’s corset
      5. WTF is Bieber doing there? Seriously super unsexy.

      Memo to VS senior mgmt – you’ve seriously lost the plot. This show is an absolute joke. Good luck with sales..we’re not buying it.

    Is this some joke? Kindercare Halloween Hybrid outfits for teens, Was it for Beiber’s age only? WtH? Cheap costume Junk.

  68. Aud says:

    I think the worst outfit belongs to Justin Bieber and his ‘shit catchers’ (pants). What is appealing about pants with baggy crotches?

  69. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Nice milky white tongue. Gross.

  70. Ginger says:

    Jessica Hart is the only model that doesn’t look emaciated and then they had to make her private parts a fricking bicycle seat??!! That’s just gross! This whole thing is beyond demeaning. I think I will shop for my undies at Frederick’s from now on.

  71. Wabs says:

    If they are going to turn a Native American wannabe ceremonial headress into a sexy coustume (you know cuz Native Americans belong in the same imaginary group as Santa and Alice in Wonderland) why stop there? I would have enjoyed seeing a sexy Pope outfit or naughty Buddist monk? No, no better yet like a really warped ‘Its a Small World After All’ with an Aunt Jamima type look with a watermelon. Black face is no longer socially acceptable but Red face is cute, hip, sexy and art? GTFOHWTBS.

    • muppet_barbershop says:

      Yeah, I’m white but I live in a city that’s actually 1% Native, and there are always Native folks around, so I have trouble grasping this kind of thing whenever I see it. I do have a liberal-honky theory though. I think most people, not just Americans but almost all others who follow mass media including something like the VS show, don’t have any exposure in their daily lives to actual people who are Native American. So there’s a super-duper-exoticizing thing going on, where it’s considered conceptually or “artistically” OK to treat those particular human beings like a really rare animal or something. Here’s a jaguar; here’s Alice in Wonderland; here’s “an Indian.” Bleagh.

  72. crtb says:

    They look like BRATZ dolls to me. Something a 10 year old would dress up. None of them look like women nor do they have on anything a woman would wear.

  73. muppet_barbershop says:

    Holy crud, that is… super juvenile. I like Badarse Motocross and Morton’s Salt. Those are sort of creative and adult.

    The boots on the clown and the harlequin are Pure Evil. They need to be spotlighted in a negative way on Go Fug Yourself, if they haven’t been already. As in “Hey fug nation, don’t wear anything remotely like these things, ever.”
