Victoria's Secret Made Its Debut in Shanghai

As Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena turned pink on Monday evening, the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show — said to be the most expensive fashion show in the world — made its debut in Asia.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is one of the most exciting runway shows of the year. If you're anything like us, you probably don't want to wait for the show to air on Nov. 28 on CBS to see what your favorite Angels wore on the runway, and luckily you don't have to.

This year's show took place in Shanghai with the Angels wearing their sexiest lingerie and strutting their stuff in Brian Atwood boots. Lais Ribeiro rocked the $2-million Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra that was designed by Mouawad Jewelry and took over 350 hours to create. From Bella Hadid's Grecian goddess-inspired costume to Alessandra Ambrosio's final appearance at the extravaganza, keep reading to have a glimpse at every single look to hit the scene.

Divided into six themes, the show featured 55 models in 87 looks. One of the themes was inspired by Chinese blue and white porcelain.

Models walking this year's runway included Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Karlie Kloss, as well as a record number Chinese faces — seven altogether. Apart from familiar names like Liu Wen, Xi Mengyao and He Sui, one of the Chinese models, Wang Yi, was selected to walk by a TV reality show, Road to Runway, out of more than 30 candidates before the event.

Other Chinese faces were pianist Li Yundi and singer Jane Zhang, who joined Harry Styles, Grammy Award-winning artist Miguel Jontel Pimentel and Hamilton Leslie Odom Jr. to give live performances, as perfectly tanned models flaunted big wings and Swarovski crystal-studded lingerie.

The Victoria's Secret show is likely to set a record in viewership this year, as for the first time it is scheduled to be broadcast on three of China's most popular video portals on the morning of Nov 29 — prime-time for the brand's exclusive telecast partner, CBS, in the United States. Last year, an estimated 800 million audience members around the world watched the show.
