Victoria's Secret Fashion Show top moments: Irina Shayk's baby bump, Bella Hadid and The Weeknd
Lingerie brand's extravagant fashion event took place at the Grand Palais in Paris, France.
Another year, another incredibly extravagant Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Intricately-designed wings, the $3m (£2.3m) Fantasy Bra, lingerie-clad models like Gigi Hadid, Jasmine Tookes and Adriana Lima leading the catwalk and musical performances from The Weeknd, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars were just some key moments from Wednesday night's show.
Hosted at the Grand Palais in Paris, France on 30 November, a fleet of 51 models strutted down the runway adorned in bejewelled lingerie and nightwear items from the brand's latest collection. In case you missed all the action, IBTimes UK rounds up highlights from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2016.
Irina Shayk pregnant?
The Russian model made her Victoria's Secret debut at the 2016 show and she certainly had everyone talking. Unlike the other models bared their midriffs in two-piece lingerie pieces, Shayk, 30, kept her stomach concealed in a red tassled jacket and long beige mac, fuelling rumours she is expecting her first child with actor boyfriend Bradley Cooper.
E! News claims multiple sources have confirmed the news and say the model is in her second trimester and is "so excited" to become a mother. Are congratulations in order for the happy couple?
Bella Hadid and The Weeknd
It could have been an awkward encounter for model Bella Hadid and The Weeknd given their recent split but the former couple shared a rather sweet moment on the runway. Strutting down the catwalk in a stunning silver-grey lace bodice, Bella, 20, locked eyes with The Weeknd and even shared a momentary smile as he performed his latest single Starboy.
Adriana Lima steals the show
Veteran Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima showed the newcomers how it is done. The 35-year-old Brazilian model injected some personality into her walk, winking at the audience and grabbing The Weeknd's hand as he performed. Lima also won social media with one impressed commentator tweeting: "The queen of victoria's secret fashion shows, adriana lima. her body and that walk tho," while another said: "Adriana Lima's walk down that runaway is everything omg she's beyond perfect."
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars serenade the runway
The Weeknd shared the runway stage with fellow pop stars Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars during the show. Gaga, 31, treated the audience to three new songs from her latest album Joanne, performing A-Yo, John Wayne and Million Reasons, while pint-sized singer Bruno Mars donned his best fur coat and sang his new single 24K Magic.
Jasmine Tookes debuts the Bright Night Fantasy Bra
Last but not least, Tookes claimed the glory unveiling this year's Fantasy Bra, the $3m Bright Night piece designed by Eddie Borgo. The California model said of the honour: "I have, like, a little alter-ego, because I am normally very quiet and laid-back, but when I get on the runway, I just want to try to be very powerful and really give it my all. It's one thing to make the outfit and make it on the fit model, but when it gets on the model who is wearing it, that's when it really comes to life." A great night had by all.
