The show, which has cost $12 million to produce in the past—and this year features a $10 million diamond-encrusted bra—was filmed twice on Nov. 13 to ensure perfection from every angle. Director Hamish Hamilton knows from television spectacles: He’s shot the Oscars and the Super Bowl halftime show.
In the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which airs on Dec. 10 on CBS (CBS), 40 genetically gifted models flaunt their bums in elaborate outfits unlike anything sold in the store. There’s a racy soccer star, a hot policewoman, and an enticing equestrian. It’s a parade of sexy Halloween costumes—a tween parent’s worst nightmare. The hour includes performances by Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy, who simultaneously sing and mingle with the girls, as well as pans to screaming Victoria’s Secret (LTD) retail associates in the enthusiastic front row. Fashion designer Valentino Garavani is there, as are jaded bloggers and, of course, Sexiest Man Alive Adam Levine. His fiancée, Behati Prinsloo, walks as one of the brand’s famed Angels: sequined vest, white panties, 10-foot feathered wings.
