Thylane Blondeau was at the VS HQ today... She's obviously not walking (too young) but I wonder what she was doing there in the first place.

Thylane Blondeau was at the VS HQ today... She's obviously not walking (too young) but I wonder what she was doing there in the first place.

Probably just meeting with her to plant the seeds to make sure she knows they're interested for the future. It's not uncommon. They did that with Romee too I think.

Also I've just realised this whole debacle about Candle Gender not walking because of her La Perla contract is a bit strange. Didn't Cara and Lui walk a few years ago despite also being contracted to La Perla. Or am I getting my wires crossed with something else??

 

[Elite13]

^Maybe their contracts weren't as strict?

 

[happycanadian]

I have a feeling that La Perla is making moves to create a similar "Angel" situation to basically directly tackle VS in that avenue. This explains the exclusivity thing. Their big contract with Kendall is the first part.

Behati just announced she's pregnant on Instagram.

 

[Armani]

Hopefully the timing of her pregnancy means she might still be able to make it for next year's show, but I have no idea, unfortunately. Congrats to her and Adam, so so happy! Her stomach is quite big already, I predict the Irina Shayk treatment this year

 

[gunsnroses]

Ed just confirmed she won't be walking the show....

 

[Armani]

What was the fitting bag for, then? In that case, my bet is on Candice for the FB, but I'm really sad that she won't make it, although I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[melissablu]

Well i won't miss her, Candice for the opening and fantasy bra!

 

[Littleathquakes]

This makes no sense, Irina Shayk walked and she was pregnant.

 

[zacatecas570]

^But nos as big as Behati. I won't miss Behati TBH, she's funny but nothing special to me. But I'm excited about Candice, hopefully opening the show, last years were just tragic openings with Behati and Elsa.

 

[Armani]

I wonder how far Behati is into her pregnancy... her belly's bigger than Irina's was last year (and I'm sure a lot of Bee not walking/Irina walking has to do with personal decision to walk the show as well), but I'm almost positive Irina was farther into her pregnancy at last year's show than Behati is for this year's show.

 

[CommanderTMugler]

Well that explains a lot... she must be around 5 months, isn't that usually when doctors give the OK to make an announcement and past the critical stages when a miscarriage is more common?

I mean if they really wanted, they could give her outfits like Irina's last years but at 7 months it's way too obvious plus having her fly all the way to China... why risk it.

Irinia must have been 5 months when she walked in November and she announced it right after... then gave birth 4 months later in March.

TBH, I won't really miss her either, she's never brought anything special to the table, always ok but I don't think I've seen an appearance from her where I was stunned... her outfits have been decent but not great, her hair is always just there, a bit messy and the make up doesn't really stand out on her. Her one outfit in 2014 with the big wings was great but on someone else it could have been something else.

 

[Elite13]

Congrats to Behati! I'm sure the bag was just full of VS goodies and maybe a subtle hint from Behati to say that she's still a part of the VS family.

I can totally understand not wanting to walk while she's pregnant.. what if she tripped? And the travelling to Shanghai..

I'll definitely miss the energy she brings to the show. She's beautiful and I hope she has a great pregnancy.

I disliked Behati's opening, but I thought Elsa did a good job on her debut. Agree that I won't miss Behati this year, either.

 

[Fotoholic24]

If Behati is off the show, i think the other Angel in line for the FB this year is Elsa!

 

[happycanadian]

maybe they give Jo the fantasy bra. She's certainly got the assets for it.

 

[theBlueRider]

I hope Candice gets the FB bra. It would be an amazing welcome back for her and she is one of VS' icons.

Or Lais... that bra would be sitting nice and high on those puppies.
