Best Fashion Show of 2011

Last year on November 29, 2011 the 2012 edition of the Victoria's Secret fashion show aired on CBS. Every year Victoria's Secret has the best fashion show. Their show differs from all the rest because Victoria's Secret features outrageously unique and sexy clothing, the most famous supermodels and live performances.

This year they started off the night with an elegant ballet performance to introduce their first collection, Ballet. Throughout the rest of the night they presented five other collections, each one better than the last. Their custom clothing, or the lack of, was all worn by some of the best models in the industry including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Chanel Iman. Not only are these models the most beautiful women you have ever seen but they have great personalities on and off the runway. After watching gorgeous models in sexy clothes have that much fun on the runway for an hour will make almost anyone want to buy their clothes. By far the best collection of the night was Super Angels. The mix between the super hero theme, bold but sexy lingerie, custom designed angel wings and a live performance from Kayne West made it the best part of the entire show. As if this all wasn't enough to make it the best fashion show of the year, there were more live performances from Nicki Minaj, Maroon 5, Kayne West and Jay-z! This was a "can't miss" event so if you haven't seen it yet click here! You know you want to (:
