A Peek Backstage at the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

>>  The likes of Chanel Iman and Dorothea Barth Jorgensen are already getting primped and prepped for the two tapings of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this afternoon — final cut airs Dec.

>>  The likes of Chanel Iman and Dorothea Barth Jorgensen are already getting primped and prepped for the two tapings of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this afternoon — final cut airs Dec. 1 on CBS — but it seems like mood is light.  When Caroline Trentini was asked for a photo backstage, she joked, "Sure! Want me to jump?"

Chanel Iman, meanwhile, prepared for her first Victoria's Secret catwalk by chatting with mentor Tyra Banks and doing a little research. “This might sound corny, but I went on YouTube and I did my homework by going and seeing the different years that Victoria’s Secret has had, the different shows and who did Victoria’s Secret, and studied their walks so that I can turn mine different from everyone else’s!”

2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Unveiled: Lara, Edita, and Sessilee Strut It

>> After weeks of speculation, we got our answers.
Maryna Linchuk (Belarus)

>> After weeks of speculation, we got our answers.  As rumored, Izabel Goulart is no longer a Victoria's Secret Angel — there is speculation that she broke her contract to work for Emporio Armani and Armani Exchange — but she, along with the Angels and 26 other non-Angel models, taped the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Miami on Saturday.  There were a few casting surprises — no Asian models?; some disappointments — no Natasha Poly or Jessica Stam; and lots of newcomers — Arlenis Sosa Pena, Sarah Stephens, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Sessilee Lopez, Clara Alonso, Edita Vilkeviciute, Erin Heatherton, and even Lara Stone made it after all.  Broken glass catwalk aside, Maryna Linchuk had a stellar outing — many have their bets on a Angel contract for her in the future — and Doutzen Kroes cozied up to boyfriend DJ Ruckus at the after-party.  All in all, enough party to hold us over until the show airs Dec. 3.

Victoria's Secret Switcharoo: Izabel Goulart Out, Behati Prinsloo In?

>> Intrigue is afoot.  While we wait to see who bagged the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show — and it's not Raquel Zimmermann, who is in Venice, shooting the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 campaign with Juergen Teller instead — the Angels made a store appearance today in Miami.  Izabel Goulart was noticeably missing, and Behati Prinsloo, who also has a VS contract, but mostly works with the company's PINK line, was there in her stead.  Is Izabel no longer an Angel?  There have been rumors about her leaving .

Celebrity Style: Izabel Goulart

Brazilian model Izabel Goulart is the current face of Armani Exchange's Lifestyle Spring campaign, so it's only fitting that she greet shoppers at New York's SoHo store.

Brazilian model Izabel Goulart is the current face of Armani Exchange's Lifestyle Spring campaign, so it's only fitting that she greet shoppers at New York's SoHo store. Of course, she had to represent the brand, so she wore an Armani Exchange purple silk bubble dress with lace Louboutins. She's flawless with her cascading curls and jewel-toned frock. I'm sure we'll be seeing Izabel's pretty face in more ad campaigns and Victoria's Secret catalogs soon.

The Angels Have Landed

The Victoria's Secret Angels — Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima, Izabel Goulart, Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosio — arrived at LAX today after their annual pre fashion show flight from NYC.

The Victoria's Secret Angels — Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima, Izabel Goulart, Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosio — arrived at LAX today after their annual pre fashion show flight from NYC. Heidi must have flown there and then turned right around (or, you know, shown up for the photo op). Can't blame her if she phoned it in considering her busy week with ProjRun and the duet with Seal at the VS show. The big show is on Thursday, and while we'll be missing Gisele on the catwalk, there is plenty more fun to look forward to...including the triumphant return of the Spice Girls and many many ladies in underwear. Sadly, I doubt that Kanye will be there to perform as scheduled. Last year's party looked like so much fun, and here's the good news, Fab, Bella and I will be in LA this year for all the action! Stay tuned as we bring you all the fun from the event!

Model of the Week: Izabel Goulart

This week I am featuring one more stunning Victoria's Secret Angel.

This week I am featuring one more stunning Victoria's Secret Angel. I've asked her the same five questions as I have in the past to reveal her best beauty secrets!

Here's a little bit of history about Izabel. She was born October 23, 1984 in São Carlos (a part of São Paulo), Brazil. She comes from a large family of five brothers and one sister. She was discovered when a hairdresser saw her shopping for groceries with her mother and encouraged her to model. She then moved to São Paulo to pursue modeling more seriously.

However, during her first ever runway appearance modeling swim suits, her bikini top fell off and the audience caught a peep show! Izabel exhibited composure and maturity and this incident actually helped jump start her career.

You may recognize her from her pictures in French and Japanese Vogue, Numero, Marie Claire, and Elle. She has also starred in ad campaigns for La Senza, Poko Pano, Valfrance, Express, Cori, Forum, Pollini and Pura Mania.

She just shot a campaign for Iodice and next week, she will have her first real acting cameo on the HBO show Entourage. Also, Izabel was named #18 in Esquire Magazine's annual list of 100 things, people, ideas, and trends you need to know. This model is here to stay!

Victoria's Secret Launches Secret Embrace and BellaSugar Was There!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the exciting Victoria’s Secret launch for their Five New Secret Embrace Bras.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the exciting Victoria’s Secret launch for their Five New Secret Embrace Bras. The event took place at the huge two-floor VS store in NYC where four of the gorgeous Victoria's Secret Angels, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, and Selita Ebanks, were in attendance.

Not only did I get to meet the models, but also I was able to speak with each of them one on one. Talk about nerve racking! However, once I got started I realized that I had no reason to be intimidated - these women were nothing but sweet, articulate and professional.

The event began with a photo op of the models in their designated colors followed by a move upstairs where interviews and autograph signings took place. It ended with a song, strawberry cake and champagne, in celebration of Karolina Kurkova's birthday.

The bras range in price from $42-$51 and after feeling them, I can't wait to get one. You may remember me mentioning it in my recent post about Oscars swag, but if not, they are one single piece of fabric that is: seam free, tag free and stitch free. When they are on, they look and feel invisible.

The bras are currently available in stores and online in an assortment of Spring colors in sizes 32A-38DD, depending on style and color.

As you all know, I have been conducting exclusive model interviews for my Model of the Week feature. Stay tuned for more exciting coverage of these Angels in weeks to come where only on FabSugar can find we find out their guilty pleasures, secrets to beautiful hair, skin...and more!

Victoria's Secret Gets Its SexyBack

The Victoria's Secret models sure do look excited.

The Victoria's Secret models sure do look excited. It must be because they just learned that Justin Timberlake is going to be performing at their December show. Talk about Sexy - JT and a bunch of gorgeous models like Gisele and Karolina. We don't think Heidi Klum is going to make it this year like she did when she showed us why they call her a supermodel by bouncing back post baby Henry. At least with JT we now have something to ogle at while our men enjoy the ladies. Here's more:

As if it needed to get any sexier, "The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show," airing Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 10 p.m. on CBS, has landed Grammy® Award winner JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE to provide musical entertainment for the hourlong look at the holiday line of lingerie. Timberlake will perform songs form his new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds. Also making a special appearance will be "Project Runway" creator/host HEIDI KLUM.

Hitting the catwalk in the company's barely there fashions will be GISELE BUNDCHEN, ADRIANA LIMA, KAROLINA KURKOVA, ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO, SELITA EBANKS and IZABEL GOULART.

The special will also include red-carpet interviews, model profiles and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the scantily clad fashion show.

As you can see, JT will have lots of help getting his sexy on at the show. For more pics of Selita Ebanks, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, Izabel Goulart and Alessandra Ambrosio just read more
