Chapter 552 Big Show
Paris, Grand Palais.
The Grand Palace, which usually looks a bit shabby, appears unusually luxurious today, with gold and colorful decorations everywhere.
The newly built stands for a thousand people surrounded the LCD T-stage in the middle, and golden and silver sequins kept falling from the sky.
The air in the venue was filled with a mixed sweet fragrance. Amid the cheers and shouts of nearly three thousand people, fifty-one of the world's top supermodels, wearing various styles of Victoria's Secret clothes that saved very much fabric, showed off their beautiful bodies to the three thousand spectators and camera lenses.
Some of them held hands in pairs, some walked in a row, and some walked alone. They all had excited smiles on their faces, blowing kisses and waving to the audience and cameras around them.

"Hey, is Kim and Prince William real or not?"
Gigi held Kendall's hand, waved and blew kisses to the audience and cameras around her, and asked Kendall in her ear while turning her head sideways.
Kendall Jenner knew that there were cameras all around her, so she tried hard to control her expression and keep a stiff smile, squeezing out the word "I don't know" from between her teeth.
Of course Jin wouldn't tell her, but the moment she looked into Jin's eyes while sitting in the first row, she knew that the rumor must be true.
Maybe this woman let it out herself.
The look in her eyes clearly showed her protest to him, otherwise she wouldn't have flown all the way from London to watch his show.
This was her first annual fashion show wearing angel wings. She thought she could attract everyone's attention, but unexpectedly, all the media and audiences at the scene were attracted by her own sister!
Except for the official Victoria's Secret photographer, two-thirds of the media focused their cameras on the big bear-skinned woman in the first row wearing a light brown Balmain dress.
Kim Kardashian had a reserved smile on her face, her legs crossed, her hand resting on her chin, and she looked at Kendall Jenner with interest as she smiled stiffly and clapped on the stage.
Kendall, do you think you've surpassed me?
Becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel and secretly dating Fangis from Lorraine Noven, do you think you can replace my position in the family?
Too naive, little girl.
You don't even know what traffic queen is.
No, maybe I can become a real queen.
Under the flash lights, Kim Kardashian looked calm and had a gentle expression. Although she was only about 1.5 meters tall, she exuded a stronger aura than the models on the stage who were nearly 1.8 meters tall, attracting the attention of the entire audience.
Even Victoria's Secret officials couldn't help but cut her shots twice on the big screen.
Victoria's Secret CEO Edward Razek didn't know whether it was good or bad for Victoria's Secret that this woman, who was at the center of the controversy, came to watch the Victoria's Secret show, and he frowned backstage.
It's been less than half a year since Edward Razek took over as CEO of Victoria's Secret.
At the beginning of the year, Victoria's Secret boss Leslie Wexner decided to change the brand image of Victoria's Secret from "sexy" to "inclusive and diverse", fired the previous meritorious CEO Sharon Jester, and personally took over as the CEO of Victoria's Secret again at the age of 80.
As a result, within a few months, the Alcatraz incident broke out.
After the ASF released the Alcatraz declassified documents, Leslie Wexner was arrested, becoming one of the few billionaires to be caught.
Moreover, unlike other "guests" of Devil's Island, he was originally Abstern's "partner".
To be precise, he is one of the financial backers behind Abstern, and many of the actions on the island are directly related to him.
He holds about 15% of the shares in Victoria's Secret's parent company, L Brand. Other shareholders immediately kicked him out of the board of directors after the incident, forcing him to transfer the remaining shares in Victoria's Secret and choose CMO Edward Razek to take over as interim CEO.
Edward Razek has been at the helm of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show since it began thirty years ago and can be said to be the true shaper of the brand.
This show was the first annual show since Edward Razek took over as CEO, and the largest Victoria's Secret show since its founding, with over 50 models! So you can imagine how much importance it holds.
This show brought together almost all the top models in the past fifteen years. Not only did Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella gather together, but even supermodels like Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, who were about to retire, returned to the catwalk.
In addition, the non-stop performances of Lady Gaga, The Weeknd and Bruno Mars ignited the entire audience. Lady Gaga even wore Victoria's Secret angel wings in the last part, which made the atmosphere even more heated.
This was also the first time the Victoria's Secret fashion show was held outside of Miami, and they even booked the Grand Palais as the venue, spending over 30 million dollars. It was even more extravagant than the previous year's London show, and it was truly unprecedented in its extravagance and extravagance. (Note 1)
It is somewhat similar to the Nichang Yuyi Dance in Hua'e Xianghui Tower during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty.
I just don’t know how many more years this prosperous era can last.
Now is the stage when the economic exchanges between Maiguo and Dazhou are the closest. The themes of many fashion shows are related to Dazhou, and this show is no exception.
The opening theme was the community fire of Da Zhou, and a group of top models were dressed like a troupe of opera singers at the opening.
This unprecedented luxurious art show has a total of six themes, plus the final overall show, for a total of seven parts. The investment is several times more than that of previous years' shows, in order to capture everyone's attention and wallets.
Victoria's Secret put so much effort into this show, but they didn't expect that everyone's attention would be attracted by Kim Kardashian outside the show.
Kendall Jenner was extremely upset.
Wasn't it because Guise sent you to London that you were able to seduce William?
It was because of me that Gis helped you.
In other words, what qualifications do you have to come here and protest against me?
If the situation were different, she might not be so angry.
This is my home turf!
Kendall tried her best to keep smiling, but she was furious inside.
"Buzz~"
Kendall suddenly felt as if a string in her brain was plucked, and then her whole body felt numb.
"Hey, Kendall, are you okay?"
Gigi, who was holding her hand, immediately noticed her abnormality.
Not only did she discover it, at that moment, she could even feel some inexplicable physiological changes in Kendall Jenner.
After so many collaborations, they probably ended up on different channels.
It took more than ten seconds for Kendall Jenner to gradually recover and regain control of her body.
Wasn't that a cerebral infarction?
Kendall took two deep breaths, but didn't feel anything unusual. Even the fatigue brought by the changing clothes like she had just gone into battle disappeared without a trace.
Of course, the media and audience at the scene also noticed Kendall Jenner's abnormality, and the already continuous shutter sounds became even faster.
Kim Kardashian appears to be concerned about her family, but her eyes are filled with condescending scorn.
Kendall Jenner looked up and locked eyes with Kim Kardashian for a second.
Seeing Kendall Jenner's gaze, Kim Kardashian couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
What's going on? When did Kendall Jenner's eyes become so bright?
It was just a moment of distraction, and Kim Kardashian's expression returned to normal in an instant.
Kendall returned to the backstage dressing room and angrily punched the metal cabinet.
"Bang!"
A group of supermodels looked over curiously and couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations.
Kendall bent the metal cabinet door with a hammer?
How is that possible?
With their limited common sense, although they didn't know that this iron locker was made of 3mm thick stainless steel, they could tell how strong this iron locker was just by the heavy feel when they opened the door.
A Zhou-American model nearby exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Kendall, you are so strong."
Gigi covered her mouth in surprise, then immediately picked up Kendall's fist and looked at it, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing's hurt."
Kendall Jenner herself is also confused, what's going on?
At this turbulent time, Kendall Jenner did not want to attend the Victoria's Secret celebration party, and she and Gigi Hadid made up an excuse and left the Grand Palace early.
As soon as I walked out of the back door and before getting into the car, I saw dozens of reporters holding various interview equipment and surrounding a Mercedes-Benz V commercial vehicle in a mess.
The black bodyguards next to the Mercedes-Benz V are trying hard to separate the crowd, while looking around to see if there are any other sources of danger, demonstrating good professionalism.
"Jin! Are the rumors about you and William true?"
"Kim! Craigowan Cottage was Princess Diana's favorite cottage. Does it have any other significance for you and William to date there?"
"Kim! Will you address this on the new season of KUWTK?"
"Jin! Did you tell William that you were coming to Paris to watch the show?"
"I heard that the royal family has put pressure on you. Is that true?"
"gold……"
