Bella Hadid strutted her stuff at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Nov. 20 for the second time.
The 21-year-old reflected on how grateful she was for her sophomore show, and shared her emotions on Instagram. “What a dream come true…This year felt like my first year all over again,” she captioned two photos of herself in black lingerie, white and blue gloves, and sporting her blue angel wings. “Emotionally, physically, mentally, in my health I feel so much stronger in so many ways and I am so grateful to all who have supported me, believed in me and stood by me… Yesterday was so unreal on so many levels. It took so much for all of this to come together and truly as a team we pulled it together as a WHOLE. I am grateful. I am happy. I am humbled. And I just can’t stop smiling thinking about it!!!”
The show, which takes place in Shanghai, China, this year, will air in a TV special on Nov. 28. While visa complications kept Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry from attending, the show had Karlie Kloss return from Angel retirement and walk the runway, along with longtime Angel Candice Swanepoel. Lais Ribeiro wore the nearly $2 million Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra as promised.
Other names on the runway were Adriana Lima, Wang Yi, Martha Hunt, Stella Maxwell, Grace Bol, Aiden Curtiss, Jasmine Tookes, and Ming Xi. Xi had an unfortunate fall, but remained smiling the whole way down, and returned gracefully to her feet.
“As many of you may already know, I fell during my 5th year walking at the Victoria’s Secret show yesterday. It was no doubt one of the hardest moments I have ever had to go through in my career… However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me,” the model wrote on Instagram. “Thank you to all the girls who rushed to comfort me at backstage after what had happened, you are all family to me. Lastly thank you to everyone who sent and left me supportive messages. I will pick myself up from where I fell, and I will keep going in order to repay all the support you all have given me!!
