Miranda, Adriana, and Alessandra Give Us the Backstage Victoria's Secret Scoop!

Allie Merriam — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:31:56 PST

The action began backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in NYC today! Hairstylist Orlando Pita and lead makeup artist Lauren Cosenza were in charge of transforming the models into Angels, and girls like Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima squeezed in interviews between primping sessions. Kanye West, who's performing during tonight's show, popped between the beauty stations to say hello to some of the ladies. He was introduced to Miranda Kerr, then gave rumored lady friend Chanel Iman a big hug. The press was running all over to talk to the models, but when Kanye arrived, things really hit the fan!

Miranda Kerr spoke with us about her husband Orlando Bloom, who's attending the show this evening, and what their family will do over the holidays. Adriana Lima shared a sweet anecdote about her daughter Valentina having a playdate with Alessandra Ambrosio's little one Anja, who apparently has some angel wings of her own already.

Alessandra on her daughter Anja's exposure to the show: "She came to the rehearsal - she's not allowed to come to the show yet! She was on the runway with me. She was just playing model, she was being an Angel . . . She didn't see the costumes, she only saw the wings. She saw the wings, and she was like, 'Mama! I have all these wings too at home! I have a butterfly, I have angel wings!' She has tons of wings, she was comparing our angel wings with hers."
Miranda on the trick to wearing Angel wings: "The wings are good! They're very heavy. You just do the best you can with the wings. Part of me is a little bit nervous because I don't want to be bopping down the catwalk. The aim is to glide down the catwalk. But when you have wings on you kind of bob a little bit."
Adriana on her daughter Valentina's playdate with Alessandra's daughter: "My baby, Valentina, actually I brought her yesterday for rehearsal. She did see my shoes, she fell in love with the wings. She walked on the runway. It was so cute. She had such a fun day yesterday. Alessandra's baby was here too, Anja, they were having a little playdate!"
Miranda on her and Orlando's holiday plans: "I think we'll probably be in Australia, so that will be nice. Because Orlando's filming The Hobbit down there."

Which Elaborate Victoria's Secret Headdress Do You Like Best?

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:45:00 PST

Last night was the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and while most people had their eyes focused on the models', uh, middle sections, I was looking at their big, baroque hair accessories. Lily Donaldson wore a spiked-out diamante tiara, while Katy Perry had a Philip Treacy-looking bunch of pink fronds on top, and model Erin Heatherton wore an interesting turquoise and gold chain around her head. They were all over the top and a little gaudy, but pretty entertaining. If you had to pick one for yourself, which would it be?

Sheer Showstoppers at Vogue's 90th Anniversary - Who's Most Risqué?

Hannah Weil — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:00:03 PDT

Vogue's 90th anniversary celebration brought out an elite fashion pack, with an avant-garde dress code. Some played with masks and headpieces, but the biggest risk-takers went sheer. Carine Roitfeld celebrated in a peek-a-boo gown with an animal-print coat, Lily Donaldson opted for a red sheer-topped Christian Dior gown, revealing a hint of noir underneath, while Natalia Vodianova went for floor-length black lace. Each is a beyond-bold choice, with its own one-of-a-kind detailing - but tell me, who do you think was the most risqué of the night?

Girls on Film: Lily Donaldson for Numero, March '10

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:00:22 PDT

In some of these spectacular sci-fi shots of Lily Donaldson by Sebastian Kim you barely recognize her. True, the galactic getups are distracting; the rich greens, blues, yellows, and shots of skin and metallic leather are intoxicating. But Lily bending and twisting in her lush looks definitely adds to every element. She's the perfect fashion femme bot. And I like the rope prop - orange and cobalt roped around Lily, the DIY ideas just keep on comin' . . .

The Look For Less: Isabel Marant Stud Buckle Boot

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:00:22 PDT

Gush, double gush. I can't get enough of Isabel Marant's Fall '09 show. Each and every single look, down to the graduated cone footwear, is amazing. Speaking of footwear, how cool are the stud buckle boots Lily Donaldson is wearing? They're slightly trendy, yes, but subtle enough to wear for a while. Unfortunately, like every other Marant piece, they're out of my price range. Luckily, Jeffrey Campbell has come out with an identical pair without the killer price tag.

To see the look for less,

This Jeffrey Campbell Black Suede Boot ($165) is as close as any boot is going to get to the Isabel Marant version. It has the right studs, the buckle, the fold over detail, and a similar heel shape. Now all you need are Marant-inspired clothes and you're perfect.
