It's confirmed: the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air on ABC on Sunday, Dec. 2. But you'll be able to catch a sneak peek after the show tapes on Thursday, Nov. 8, in NYC. After 2017's extravaganza went down in Shanghai, China, executive producer Ed Razek promises even more thrills this time around.
"The show is a year-long production, and 2018 promises to be our most ambitious yet. We have more musical guests, more fashion, and more stories than ever; and, of course, 60 of the world's top models."
Read on to see who you should keep your eyes peeled for, who's returning after a hiatus, who's wearing the 2018 Fantasy Bra — valued at a whopping $1 million — and the collaborations you just might want to shop straight off the runway . . . because yes, that is possible.
