Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Recap
(All photos by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)
I may not be a regular at Victoria’s Secret, but I am a huge fan of the annual fashion show that airs on CBS every winter. I’ve always had an interest in runway shows, but what sets this one apart from all the others is that the models actually LOOK like they are having fun. Seriously, don’t you agree? They’re smiling, they’re dancing…there’s 300 pounds of glitter on the runway. Just picture that for a second. You would die if 300 pounds of glitter were on top of you. And that’s scary, but that’s what makes the show so successful. Well, that and all the models and the lingerie you know…
Highlights:
- Performers: Kanye West, Jay-Z, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj
- Favorite theme: Aquatic Angels
- How cute was Orlando Bloom rising almost every time wife Miranda Kerr hit the stage?
- To keep you on the edge of your seat, the organizers of the show went all intense on us and gave us a play-by-play of what was going on backstage. Will Adriana make it in time?! Of course she does.
- Karlie Kloss is the ultimate HBIC. This may be her first time walking for the show, but she’s no stranger to the runway – having snagged all of the major runway shows every single season.
- Lily Aldridge is the best ever.
- Not enough Chanel Iman.
- Anne V. and Adam Levine…merrrrr
And now a tribute to my favorite Angels!

Met Gala 2011
François-Henri Pinault with Salma Hayek both in Alexander McQueen
There was an unbelievable amount of love for Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney at this year’s 2011 Met Ball. I think out of all the Met Ball’s I have seen, this one has provided the most looks that I have fallen in love with. Well done everyone.
This year’s theme was in tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen as the museum debuted a new exhibition in his name. Since there were so many attendees this year, I decided to post only my favorite looks (and a few others) – don’t worry, it’s still pretty image heavy!
Where was Camilla Belle this year?

Chanel Soho Boutique Re-Opening
Blake Lively in Chanel Couture. Not exactly a favorite look…but it kind of works. It’s definitely a lot better than some of her previous looks.
Annual Metropolitan Costume Gala 2010
Out of every event during the year, award shows included, The Metropolitan Costume Gala is by far my favorite. This year’s theme was American Women: Fashioning a National Identity.

Rodarte in Real Life
Just like there are social hierarchys in real life, you might easily believe that the fashion world reflects the same idea. The celebrities and the wealthy stick to high end designers, boutiques, and even slipping themselves into couture from all over the world. Everyone else that does not fit into the above category sticks to generic brands and those buildings with many shops in them called malls. So when Natalie Portman decided to throw on this Rodarte for Target dress (for the normal people) I was shocked! (Yep, the same kind of shock I found myself in when I realized Chanel Iman and I had purchased the floral print dress from H&M months ago!) This is about a $75 dress I would assume. It’s a great dress nonetheless, but why is she wearing this one when she could have her pick of any other dress in the world?! This is just one more reason why I adore her.
What have we learned from this picture:
1) Natalie Portman is fantastic.
2) She knew how to mix high end with low end (of course)
3) She makes this Rodarte for Target dress more appealing. How many girls today went and thought, “I want this dress because N. Portman wore it.” At least one :)
Zoe Kravitz is fresh faced – Chanel becomes an Angel
Vera Wang recently handpicked Zoe Kravitz to become the new face of the popular Vera Wang Princess replacing Camilla Belle. As much as I love Camilla Belle, there’s no denying that this ad isn’t fantastic.
