The Angels have an air date!
Victoria’s Secret execs had a big announcement to make on Wednesday, Sept. 17: This year’s VS Fashion Show, to be taped in London, will air on Tuesday, Dec. 9, on CBS at 10 p.m. EST.
While the December air date is in keeping with years past, the event’s pond-crossing location change may come as a surprise, considering that most of the lingerie brand’s runway shows have been filmed in New York City (although Los Angeles, Miami and Cannes have also served as locales).
Nevertheless, there was one big hint: The 2013 show featured an entirely Brit-centric segment, complete with Angels like Behati Prinsloo and Adriana Lima in a Queen’s Guard uniform and colorful plaids, respectively. Even special guest Taylor Swift performed in a Union Jack dress and teeny red, white and blue top hat.
At an April 2014 press conference, exec Ed Razek hinted that It-model Cara Delevingne would be on the London runway. As for other celeb guests, New York Magazine reported that Lima, 33, is keeping her fingers crossed for some big Brits in the front row — including a certain royal. “I’d love to see Elton John because I’m a big fan,” she said. And, “I’d like to invite Prince Harry.”
