Victoria’s Secret Show 2015: model line-up and tense casting process revealed

When
The Victoria’s Secret Show takes place on Tuesday 10 November, but will air on televisions a month later on CBS on 8 December at 10:00pm EST.
Where
The lingerie extravaganza is returning to its home, New York, to celebrate its 20th anniversary following last year’s London show (only the second show ever in Europe after Cannes in 2000).
The performers
Rihanna was confirmed last month, alongside Selena Gomez and The Weeknd. But last week it was confirmed that RiRi has cancelled to reportedly focus on finishing her upcoming album, Anti. Brit girl Ellie Goulding will replace her.
The casting
A newly-released video shows the reality of the tense audition process, where supermodels cry and celebrate as they walk in their lingerie and heels, surrounded by white lights, in front of what models describe as “very nice and friendly” judges.
“You’re meant to be objective about it, but you know how hard all the girls have all worked for it,” says the lingerie giant’s boss Ed Razek at the casting.
For many spectators though, this annual catwalk show sexualises women. And well, there’s no arguing with the fact that that the multimillion pound show does indeed feature a parade of smiling, stunning models covered in glitter and wearing very little clothes. But truth is that for models and their agencies, landing a Victoria’s Secret gig means “champagne popping in the offices across model worlds, because their careers kind of explode”.
This year, 500 models were submitted for consideration, but only 44 have made it the final cut.
The cast
With 44 models confirmed, this year’s line-up is the biggest cast in the Victoria’s Secret Show history.
The lingerie giant revealed last week the addition of two of the world’s most high profile models of the moment, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, to the cast.
