Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The 16th annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held on November 30.
Since 1994, Victoria's Secret has featured 152 different models sporting sparkly, over-the-top lingerie and little else in its annual televised lingerie runway show. The iconic Angels Wings, worn by the brand's top models, are also a staple in every show. To date, there have been a total of 92 different sets of wings made. They are veritable works of art, such as one pair made from 10,000 peacock feathers as modeled by Karolina Kurkova.
This year, Grammy-nominated singers Katy Perry and Akon will be the musical guests on the show. Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Candice Swanepoel, Chanel Iman, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge, and Behati Prinsloo will strut the runway. The models this season are younger compared to prior ones, and though stunning, don't possess the same star wattage as past Victoria's Secret Angels Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum. The more recognizeable Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr also sat out this year because they are both pregnant.
A major highlight of the 2010 shows is the dazzling $2 million Bombshell Fantasy Bra- encrusted with Damiani diamonds and sapphires- to be worn by supermodel Adriana Lima.
The event will be aired live on the CBS television network across the US on November 30 at 10:00 EST. A list of channels that will broadcast the lingerie runway show in other countries can be found here: http://www.victoriassecret.com/popups/international-tunein
