Who else enjoyed the Victoria Secret Swim Special on Thursday? I love seeing all sorts of behind-the-scenes specials, and this didn’t disappoint. Not to mention the swimsuits were cute, the photos were stunning and there was Maroon 5! Here’s some behind-the-scenes photos, editorial photos and my favorite Maroon 5 performance from the show (the best part is when the models make Adam laugh so he can’t sing…how cute) I also found this oldie from Swim 2013 of the models lip syncing to Maroon 5 Woman.
Tonight the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, the most anticipated Fashion Show of the year, aired on CBS. The show was featured in London and had all A-List guests such as Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Hozier, and two performances by Taylor Swift. Here, you can find everything about the show, behind the scenes, original sketches, my favorite looks, and the holiday commercial! Enjoy!
