VS

So I understand it comes with a little bit of controversy, but one of my favorite events happened last night....the Victoria Secret Fashion Show. I know some people think it is so weird to be interested in that or that it is inappropriate, and I respect your opinion. But for me it is all about the incredible display of ART that walks that runway. I watch all the behind the scenes and "the making of the costumes" videos they post before the show, and I just adore what the designers put on the runway. They use practical VS pieces that you or I could buy in the store and then rev it up a notch with themes, glitter, crystals, sky-high heels, and of course-wings.

Last night we had a viewing party on the Zeta floor and lots of girls gathered to watch. We even hooked up the projector to the tv so the models were displayed larger than life on the wall. It was pretty cool if I do say so myself. Here are a few of my favorite looks from the night....

They opened the show with a Ballet section. These are my two favorites. (Notice the "pointe shoes")



Then there was a Super Angels section. Very comic book-esqe. Seth Cohen would like these ladies.

 
These 3 looks were part of the Passion set. LOVE the flamenco look and all the jewels of the second with the mini half-tutu. And the black lace wings are fabulous on the last.



The Aquatic was my favorite section as a whole with all the beautiful blues, greens, and purples. And lots of sequins and iridescence. Absolutely beautiful.

And of course we can't leave out Adam Levine. Maroon 5 performed, and these pictures show him and his gf Anne V. They were precious, to say the least.

There was an "I Put a Spell on You" section with a historic New Orleans feel. I wasn't a fan of any of the outfits except this one. Just a precious ringleader. I feel like it came straight out of Water for Elephants.

 
And here's my favorite look of the night. Those wings weigh 40 lbs. but they couldn't be more stunning. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Well hope you have enjoyed these looks...let's just say I'm a sucker for any kind of dress up/costumes. Can't wait for next year!
