Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

November 10th, 2011



{Hair and make-up chair}

The annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show doesn’t air until November 29th, but yesterday I was lucky enough to see the show and go backstage to see the Angels getting ready. While the show itself was absolutely insane (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and Maroon 5 performed), I was just as excited to get the behind-the-scenes glimpse beforehand. Here are a few of the shots that I took while backstage.



{The legendary Tom Pecheux applying finishing touches}



{142 carat diamond bra – worth a cool $2.5 million}



{Miranda Kerr’s patent leopard-print Manolo Blahnik pumps}

{Crazy amounts of make-up, water, and coffee}

{Karlie Kloss’s lucky star bracelet that she and her sister both have}

{Dewy skin+ dark eyes + extensions for Adriana Lima}

{A rack of satin embellished robes the Angels wore backstage}

{Liu Wen and her ridiculously perfect skin}



{All prepped for the first of their two shows}

    You’re so fortunate to have gone backstage and see the show. These pictures are amazing, and so are all of the models. I can’t wait to see all of the looks on Nov 29th. I’d love to have a pink silk robe like the angels, they’re lovely.
