Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2017

The visa mess should make them think twice about hosting the show in a country .... with extremely different visa policy in the future, lmao.

5 days until the taping of the show. 5 days to clear up this issue. Good luck, and here's to the Russian & Ukrainian models getting another chance (and hopefully a privilege of SOME sort, at least let them walk the show they were meant to walk without a casting or give them all 2 outfits or something...) next year.

Lily Aldridge, Leomie Anderson, Alexina Graham, Alecia Morais, Amilna Estevao, and Bruna Lirio are traveling to China today! Alecia and Amilna are together, and Leomie and Sophia (10magazine) just so happen to be on the same plane.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show turning into international media crisis

Apparently lingerie models and the officials of the People’s Republic of China don’t get along very well.

Page Six has learned that the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — which is due to be held in Shanghai in just two weeks and will feature models including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss, among others — is turning into an international media crisis.

We’re told fashion bloggers booked to cover the glitzy event are canceling their trips because the Chinese government won’t give them visas; TV producers are grappling with bureaucrats over permission to shoot outside the Mercedes-Benz Arena, where it’s being held (“If you’re going to China, you want to show that you are in China!” fumed an insider); and Victoria’s Secret staffers in China can’t send out press releases because they have to be approved by government officials.

“It’s just a nightmare for all the media trying to cover [the show],” said a jet-setting insider. “These TV companies are spending a fortune on it, and they don’t even know what they can shoot when they get there.”

We’re told that producers charged with coordinating the coverage for various outlets are “on the verge of nervous breakdowns.”

The show — which will be broadcast on CBS — had been mostly held in the US since 2001, but the undie company has had a run of unfortunate luck in the past few years since moving overseas. Last year’s show was also troublesome, because Victoria’s Secret had the misfortune of trying to organize the show in Paris in the wake of both the Paris terror attack and Kim Kardashian’s high-profile jewelry robbery.

For that event, every journalist covering the event had to submit to background checks and provide government ID, and security was so tight that cars dropping off VIP guests were only allowed to stop momentarily outside the venue, so celebrities had to circle the block before being dropped off.

Rumor: Taylor has arrived in Shanghai.

 

[Valentine27]

^Taylor who?

Wow at Mayowa... what a mess. I was looking forward to seeing her. It's 5 girls out already!

 

[MDNA]

^Sorry I mean Taylor Swift.

 

[Armani]

Mayowa hasnt confirmed anything, but quite a big rumor if its coming from Vogue Spain...

Its also rumored that Katy is banned from China so they need to find a replacement for her. EEK. Can anyone check the website? Is Miguel and Harry the only two performers currently listed?

This is coming from Bellazon, but apparently some bloggers couldnt get their visas either, and the team cant shoot outside the Mercedes Benz Arena. This is one hot mess if Ive ever seen one. Dailymail released an article about this mess.

ITS ALSO RUMORED (just a rumor...) that Gigi wont be going because of the buddha cookie video outrage. But thats just a rumor.

In other news, Victoria Lee, Vanessa Moody, Elsa Hosk, Devon Windsor, Georgia Fowler are leaving today. (VS get it TOGETHER please)
