Victoria’s Secret – Return to Glamour – Show 2008

November 17th, 2008

Leg out! Leg out! Here she comes now!

Adriana and Usher at Victoria’s Secret fantasy extravaganza themed – Return to Glamour – on Saturday, November 15, at the newly refurbished Fontaineblue Miami Beach hotel in Miami.

Once again Victoria’s Secret has set the uncompromisingly sexy standard to what is lingerie.

The annual fashion show has rocked the newly renovated Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach bringing long legged creatures and glamorous celebrities all in one place.

“The theme of the show is a return to glamour,” said Victoria’s Secret Chief Executive Sharen Turney:

Victoria’s Secret is about sexy and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.”

34 angels have walked the runway presenting each work as a masterpiece, but designer Martin Izquierdo crafted only seven pairs of wings for the show, taking inspiration Greek mythology and butterflies.

Adriana Lima modeled a $5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra designed by jeweler Martin Katz. It is decorated with white and black diamonds and rubies, and will be for sale in the company’s catalog. Lima said:

I always wanted to wear the Fantasy Bra. It’s the first time that Victoria’s Secret makes a black diamond bra. A woman could definitely buy it if they love it and men, too.”

Bold colors with geometric designs Alessandra Ambrosio is wearing were influenced by the 1920s. Professional dancers wore one-piece bathing suits for one segment and models got playful with Usher when he performed.

Miranda Kerr, who wore the wings with the multicolored butterflies, said “it adds a whole theatrical aspect” to the show.

There was also a wave of the Pink collection.

Doutzen Kroes wore in pastels and florals.

For the finale, Heidi Klum stepped onto the catwalk in a red bra, underwear and sparkling, red wings, which were made to resemble a bow on a present.

All the action took place on the catwalk but the audience consisted of A-list celebrities: P Diddy, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, Martha Stewart, and Paris Hilton – were among those who stood out.
