7 things you didn't know about the Victoria's Secret Show

The models are known, the date is set, but there is still a lot that I have managed to find out about The Show. Well, wwd.com knew it and of course I will tell you right away. That's just how I am.

1. There will be more outfits

Last year there were 66, this year 75.

2. More outfits means more models

Last year there were 40 model girls, on December 2nd 47, of which 5 are from our own country.

3. There are two Angel Bras

Normally there is one multi-million dollar spectacle bra, this time there are two showpieces. The lucky breasts belong to Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.

4. Dress code for the guests

The audience is expected to be in Black Tie. There is also a sub-dress code, namely a black tie in the spirit of the Black & White party, a masked ball that writer Truman Capote held at the Plaza Hotel. So if you have a ticket, you can now look for a suit.

5. Lily Donaldson will be the showpiece

Swarovski is collaborating on a number of creations, but Lily's is the standout. In total, the wing creation weighs 20 kilos, so Lily is lifting almost half of herself. There are 150,000 Swarovski stones on it, and it took five hours to make a wing.

6. Super strict casting

This year the selection committee was even stricter than usual. And it really doesn't matter if you've walked the show before. I know quite a few models who were asked for a casting but didn't make it. Lily Donaldson told wwd.com that she is also training hard to appear at her fittest and is also eating much healthier. “This show is the perfect motivation to pay attention to my figure. Actually, it should be twice a year, then I would always be ‘in shape’.”

7. Everyone is nervous

Even Lily, who is walking the show for the fifth time, is afraid she will fall or that something else will go wrong. What she is looking forward to is that the show will be in her hometown London this time. She is looking forward to it and we are too.
