VS Fashion Show Superlatives: Breaking Down the Major Announcements

last updated 13 August 2019

In case there was any doubt, this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show—airing on December 5—will be one for the books. For starters, the event will be held in Paris for the first time ever, ensuring that it will be a seriously chic affair. Plus, exciting announcements about the model castings have been rolling in over the last couple days—in fact, we can hardly keep track of all of them! So to help you sort through all the reveals, we compiled a yearbook-style list of superlatives for the 2016 VS Fashion Show cast.

Among the highlights are a pair of sisters you probably know well: Bella and Gigi Hadid, of course. While Gigi is making her second trip down the runway, this will mark Bella's very first booking of the covetable gig. There's also a rising 19-year-old you should know, a touching announcement dedicated to "the outcasts that get told they can't do something," and more. Scroll down for our roundup of the best announcements to know about for the show.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
