Known as the sexiest night of the year, the annual Victoria's Secrets (VS) Fashion Show is set to take place in Shanghai and will air on 29 November. The star-studded night will feature VS angels (models) donning elaborate lingerie and walking down the runway while top musical icons perform - previous acts include Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift. In particular, people look forward to seeing the exquisite fantasy bra - this year it's the '2017 Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra' that's decorated with 6,000 precious stones and 18K gold, totalling a cool $2 million. VS Angel Lais Ribeiro will have the honor of flaunting it down the runway.
