Watch: Highlights from the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris

Daniel Orton1 December 2016

The Victoria's Secret fashion show – the most anticipated catwalk event of the year – took place in Paris on Wednesday night.

The show, in the huge steel-and-glass atrium of Paris' Grand Palais, opened with a string orchestra playing softly from inside a huge Arc de Triomphe structure.

As the show began, red neon lights filled the catwalk and the calm was broken by bold rock music and cheering crowds.

Joining the line-up for the first time were Irina Shayk, and Gigi Hadid’s younger sister Bella, whose ex-boyfriend The Weeknd also performed at the event.

Model Jasmine Tookes walked the catwalk in the Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Bra this year, an item of lingerie valued at $3 million.
