Candice, above all, and Alessandra, the main highlights of the show. I think they have wasted the potential of many other models, like Doutzen or even Adriana.

I am not a Gigi fan but I felt bad that she had to wear those oversized oven mitt wings.
They gave the worst wings of section to Adriana. The first look was awful. Anyway this year was better than last year, for sure, but still has lot of to work. It is almost like the wanna try to do a HF show. I miss the energy of old VS. BTW Ashely Graham was stunning!
The Plus Divas WERE TURNING IT OUTTTTTTTTT this year, All of them Looked so Hot So divine
The Stage was absolutely FABULOUS, Some of the outfits were stunning, Simple but effective., Candice, Behati and Aelssandra were amazingggg

I Think this year was Candice's year! she was just amazing, sexy , powerfull, stunning!
Apparently, ten reruns of the same faces is still exciting for you guys, meanwhile, the fashion world’s moved on to the sequel cast that aren't being given a shot.
I don't want to hate on specific models because who knows if they'll end up reading this, but I'm really disappointed and upset with the casting too, knowing that they actively rejected Josephine and Romee to see some models on this show who haven't been anywhere near their level. I also want to know what happened with Taylor Hill. I hope her absence isn't because they rejected her.
Candice was fantastic as always, and I liked her outfits even more this year than last. Just seeing her makes any show worthwhile.

Oh my god. I just remember that i didn't see Mayowa. But why? She worked with them so many year. Hmm last year she was the only one amond the modelswho worked with them to have just one outfit.
She was so excited last year. Sad.
This might be the dumbest question ever but is there a reason VS doesn’t do the show during New York Fashion Week? I’d assume it’s just too demanding with all the models doing other shows and events that week?
Overall I thought the show was ok. I can't say I loved it but definitely did not hate. Some of the hair and makeup made the models look washed out, bland, and "over baked". Some of the styling was questionable. The concepts and vision were there, but there were opportunities for it to be executed better.
I believe the show fulfilled its purpose of promoting their products and collections. I understand why some might not like the show, but keep in mind most of us who are commenting in this thread aren't VS' target audience nor would we benefit them business-wise or financially.

We’ve been yawning through these shows for years, and it’s not just the music, outfits or editing that's making it boring. Some of these models have walked so many runways they’ve worn out their own mystique. Same pout, same strut, same twirl of the hair, same finger-point to nowhere. At some point, even the most loyal fans have to admit: it’s not evolving, it’s looping.

At this point, I genuinely believe Victoria’s Secret needs a full-scale exorcism. Not a refresh. Not a rebrand. A purge.
New models, faces we’ve never seen before or are so underrated that the majority of people don't really know them.
New Angels who are young, hip, sexy and not recycled. Goodbye Grace, goodbye Taylor (your... fucking... hair). No shade, but the magic’s gone.
New photographers with a vision, not just filters.
New designers who understand silhouette and story.
New PR that doesn’t sound like it’s trapped in 2016.

Out with the old, the tired, the same walks and the kissy faces/hearts. In with something that feels alive.. unpredictable, and exciting. And as a nod to the Spooky Season 🖤 ... If VS wants to matter again, it needs to stop clinging to ghosts and start conjuring legends.

I totally agree. They need to a revamp from scratch like what Abercrombie & Fitch did. They were a dying brand but they did full transformation, and are actually doing pretty well currently. As much as I do love some of the models, I do think they need to go and make room for some new blood and upcoming models they could develop. Also, I think the kissy faces, winks, hearts, wave, etc. degrades the brand by making the show unnecessarily tacky. cringey and outdated.

They are recycling wings to come off as more sustainable and less wasteful. Also these wings are expensive so it is a way for them to allocate their budget in other areas. Personally I am ok with seeing some of the old wings b/c many of them are beautiful and spectacular.
Nothing against recycling-recycling - just make sure they aren’t too recognizable from previous years. 
The quality of clothing this year is a 10 out of 10. I loved everything.
Bless whoever got the new budget approved.

Not a dumb question. For awhile they did do the show during NYFW. I believe they stop doing this because as the show got more spectacular and intricate, it was tough to find models who would invest to such a huge commitment especially during fashion week season.
