PARIS: Models wowed fashions’ glitterati on Wednesday night during the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the Grand Palais in Paris, where musical artists Lady Gaga, The Weekend and Bruno Mars performed on the runway during the show.
The show merges fashion, fantasy and entertainment, according to the company website, and has been attracting well known models, celebrities and musical performers since its inception in 1996.
Sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid joined forces, as did top models Kendall Jenner and Adrina Lima.
With a retro bleached hairstyle, Lady Gaga gave a rousing and gutsy live performance of “Million Reasons” to the crowd, and appeared again for “A-YO.”
At one point her microphone got stuck in the tassels of her dark cowboy hat, but this didn’t stop the consummate professional, who continued singing “John Wayne” as models danced with her.
As the 30-year-old popstar ended her set, she walked over to kiss Hadid’s mother, reality TV star Yolanda Hadid, in her front row seat.
But it was perhaps The Weeknd that got the most cheers of the night. The singer serenaded Bella Hadid — with whom he has been romantically linked — with his hit song “Starboy,” and almost followed her up the catwalk as she walked in a gown with silk organza corset.
Hadid, 52, was the proudest of mothers Wednesday night.
For the first time, the former model could boast that Bella was included in the Victoria’s Secret model line-up as well as Gigi for 2016.
“Last year, Gigi got it and Bella didn’t get it and I felt awkward being there having Bella at home. And this year, it’s just so perfect because they’re both here. We’re celebrating, the sisters together,” she told The AP.
“It’s all surreal. I mean, I came here when I was 16, modeling. So many years have gone by and to be here with both my girls ... I keep looking at them and pinching myself. Whoever thought that this would happen?” she added.
