Last night at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue, the very same venue Marc Jacobs shows each season, Victoria’s Secret turned everything pink, red, and gold for the annual holiday marketing push that is the fashion show. Since this is a made-for-television event, the audience seating is very nice and red monotone, lit by matching red lamps, as though it were a Las Vegas showing of girls. And what grand showgirls they were! High kicks the “28 most beautiful women in the world,” the announcer told us several times as we waited for showtime, did not do. But they beautifully maneuvered with their monstrously huge wings, without falling or knocking over any props, backup dancers, Katy Perrys, or Akons that made up this year’s bra spectacular. Though some of them looked to be leaning forward a little bit to carry all that weight — of the wings, not their own bodies — down the runway. See highlights of the world’s most fun annual fashion show in the slideshow!
