Rihanna rocked the lingerie look at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York, holding her own on the catwalk with some of the world’s top models.
And those models even had props, including Adriana Lima’s ringmaster wand, Doutzen Kroes’ body cage and several pairs of the oversized wings that the retailer has made its signature. It would be a close contest who got the biggest wings: Toni Garrn’s giant poppy pair or MirandaKerr’s swan-style feathered pouf. Only Lily Aldridge could boast star-spangled wings that shot out silver sparkles.
Alessandra Ambrosio’s orchid-petal wings might have lacked a little grandeur, but she made up for it with a $2.5 million jeweled “floral fantasy bra.”
Wearing a sheer pink mini Wednesday night that gave glimpses of her bra, Rihanna sang “Fresh Out the Runway” at the end of a corset-and-garter parade, grabbing the audience’s biggest applause.
The fashion show has become a pre-holiday tradition for Victoria’s Secret and CBS will turn it into a one-hour special to be aired on Dec. 4.
It also featured performances from Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. This year’s event had a slight twist. It started with an announcer noting that Victoria’s Secret and CBS had each made a donation to relief efforts for Superstorm Sandy.
