Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013, Taylor Swift Steals The Spotlight! [Pictures]

  • 14 November 2013

Well, it came and went once again: the Victoria's Secret spectacular annual runway show, this time seeing musical performances from the likes of Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift.

The Angels took to the catwalk once again to strut their stuff in the 2013 themed fashion show that saw each of them don the most elaborate underwear you've ever seen!

The event took place at the Lexington Armory in Manhattan, New York and circled around six imaginative themes: we had 'British Invasion' (think Union Jacks and footie), 'Birds of Paradise' (big feathers, plenty of colour), 'Parisian Nights' (we're talking Moulin Rouge), 'Shipwrecked' (no dress is in one piece!), 'Snow Angels' (as cosy as underwear can possibly be) and 'PINK Network' (think, well. pink!).

Whilst the catwalk was a feast for the eyes, the event entertainment was equally as outstanding with live performances from a stunning Taylor Swift and the dressed to impress Fall Out Boy.

The rock band stayed in character for the whole show, but Taylor joined in the fun with her own themed outfits including a flamboyant Union Jack dress that rivalled Ginger Spice and, at the risk of sounding too girly, an absolutely adorable sparkling silver mini number.

What's more, we thought the $2.5 million diamond fantasy bra that was modelled by Alessandra Ambrosio in 2012 was a showstopper, but it's definitely been beaten this year...

Candice Swanepoel was selected to don the 2013 centrepiece (or, should we say, masterpiece?) which is worth a whopping $10 million and has appropriately been dubbed the Royal Fantasy Bra. Designed by upscale jewellers Mouawad, the 18 carat gold brassiere is adorned with more than 4,200 gemstones including rubies, diamonds and sapphires and sitting in pride of place is a massive 52 carat ruby.

With Taylor's dress and the royalty themed main underwear piece, it was all getting rather British. And who better to up the ante than to bring in tomboy Cara Delevingne who had fun with a soccer ball and a retro-looking team strip as she hit the catwalk.

Jourdan Dunn was another Brit who appeared at the show in an uber sexy jockey/day-at-the-races outfit complete with top hat, white gloves and a riding crop which she fingered flirtatiously as she posed for her spectators.

Doutzen Kroes looked like she could've come straight out of 'Titanic' as she swished about her shredded silken 'skirt'. As usual, she wore little more than a lick of black eyeliner in the way of make-up - her minimalist, natural beauty being what makes her one of the Angel favourites.

Looking as proud as a peacock (though not dressed as one) was Lindsay Ellingson who blew kisses to the audience as she swanned up the runway with a plumage of blue feathers framing her face. She definitely made a beautiful bird of paradise.
