Finally! At last the hotly anticipated and most adored style show
which occurred on Dec 8th is gone. If you don’t know what I am talking
about – I’m talking about the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show! As a young
lady, this show is something we cherish observing each year! Nothing
beats getting together with a couple of sweethearts, a bottle of wine
(or two) and turning on the TV to watch some of the hottest women strut
their stuff. Strolling down the runway to unrecorded music (this year
Rihanna and Selena Gomez performed) and wearing some of the s*xiest
lingerie, swim suits and active wear ever- these women are the most
envied women on the planet! From all around the world these girls are
known for their amazing bodies, their confidence and their
ferociousness.
See below for an extensive list of the top 12 hottest Victoria’s Secret models who walked in the VS fashion show this year!
Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Cheers!
