2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show | Review

Another year, another Victoria's Secret Fashion Show! And another meh show tbh. 
Last night, to get in the mood, I watched some old shows, and things have improved on some matters, but on others... A change is needed in this brand.

If you haven't been able to watch it yet, I found this dailymotion link where you can. I don't know if they will take it down, so be quick! Also, sorry I am not adding gifs or anything, I am a bit busy and wanted to post this today 😊


We open the show with Leela James performing, and Taylor Hill walking. 
I was a bit concerned about Taylor's opening because on all the previews we had seen it didn't look good, but on the final edit it wasn't that bad. I liked it. What I didn't like was the song they chose. You can't open a show with such a slow song. You just can't. 
From this segment the best was definitely Yasmin Wijnaldum. What a queen! That's how you go down the runway, such a fierce walk! Simply amazing. Good thing is that she came out after Alexina so I was able to delete from my brain what she did. Oh Ed, why did you have to fall in love with her?! 😭

Next are The Chainsmokers and Kelsea Ballerini. 
This is the type of music I listen to, so it was a yes from me since they announced them. It fit the show and the rhythm, and both Kelsea and Andrew interacted with the models while giving them their space and allowing them to do their thing. 
Regarding the models, I liked Candice opening, Shanina looked gorgeous, Grace got possessed by either Adriana or Alexina 😂, and they didn't give me Dylan's reaction to Barbara. It was such a good gif! Also, Ming Xi's thinness is starting to be worrying. 

After this we got Adriana's little tribute that I can of ignored because she has never been one of my favourites. I started watching the show properly when she was already a veteran, and I missed the "falling in love with her" phase. Also, I am still a bit bitter about VS doing this for her and then treating Alessandra the way they did last year, editing the show so her closing didn't close the show. I am not her fan, but it wasn't fair.

Halsey's segment was the Fantasy Bra one, and everything about it went so unnoticed to me. Well, I did notice something. That Halsey and Winnie "stole" Toni's moment. They got more camera time than her 😒 

Speaking of Toni, on the between segments video that came after this and that was about the castings, she seems so done with all the other girls 😂 I guess it's what happens when you are a veteran and have done basically everything.

During Pink I only paid attention to Grace opening (the possession was over haha And man, what a body!), and my cutie pie Willow. Bebe's performance was great too.

Next we have that mess that was the Mary Katrantzou collaboration. Yasmin's outfit still makes me cry. Shawn's song surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to have such a good rhythm for the runway. And Josephine's closing... I don't get it. On the first segment she did good, but you give her some wings and she becomes the Hunchback of Notre Dame. What the hell happens to you Jojo? You are strong! You can lift your fiancé and not those "wings"?! 😔

Rita Ora's segment. Boring. She did good, I like the song, but the cast was so boring...

And we close the show with The Struts and the best segment imo. The outfits were beautiful, we have a kind of good cast, and the music fit perfectly. It could have been the perfect opening too. It has that wow effect that makes you get into the show, pay attetion. Though maybe after Harry Styles last year opening with a similar song, it wasn't the best choice.

During the finale also perfomed The Struts, but it all seemed too rushed. 

So, to sum it, it was ok but meh. I feel like most the angels went unnoticed, and so did Kendall, Gigi and Bella. Though Kendall had more camera time than them. And so did her mom, totally having a Regina George's mom moment like on Ariana's music video 😂 Music wise, I liked all the songs but the first one, and all the perfomers did great, knowing that the stars of the show are the models and not them. This isn't one of their concerts. And the outfits weren't anything new, but the ones that closed the show help not losing all hope.
I am already looking forward to 2019. Changes need to be done on the cast (Adriana can't be the only one leaving) and on the offices.
