Bella Hadid looks gorgeous as she poses backstage at Victoria’s Secret China show
BELLA Hadid looked ready and raring to go as she got glammed up ahead of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show today.
The 21-year-old model was seen getting her hair and make-up done backstage alongside her fellow angels before taking to the catwalk at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai, China.
Wearing a pink floral robe, the stunning star flashed her bra as the teams got to work transforming her for the biggest runway event of the year.
Bella graced the runway for the lingerie giant for the first time last year and was delighted to be asked back this year.
She gushed at the time: “@victoriassecret I am so excited!..!!!!Thank you @monica.mitro @10magazine @johndavidpfeiffer and of course the wonderful, incredible @ed_razek + everyone on the team for making this dream come true again.. I feel so crazy humbled to get the opportunity to be a part of this show again... (sic).
“Walking into the offices this year i felt so happy, healthy, and honored.. I can't wait for another incredible experience!!! Congrats to all of the beautiful ladies I will be walking beside. I can't wait! Xx (sic).”
Her sister Gigi has however pulled out of the show, after being accused of being “racist” towards China in an online video.
The model angered the country back in September after footage surfaced of her appearing to mock a Buddha she was holding.
Hundreds of furious Chinese people told the 22-year-old she "wasn't welcome" in the city when the lingerie brand hosted its annual show there – forcing her to pull out.
Bella will however be joined by Candice Swanepoel, Karlie Kloss, Elsa Hosk and Adriana Lima, to name a few.
Former One Direction star Harry Styles will perform at the event.
Ed Razek, executive producer of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and chief creative officer at Victoria’s Secret, said in a statement to US magazine People: “We started booking our musical guests months ago when Harry Styles, international superstar, signed on.
“Also appearing are Grammy award-winning artist Miguel, Tony award-winning star of Hamilton Leslie Odom Jr., and Chinese sensation Jane Zhang. We are incredibly thrilled to have them with us.”
The show takes place today, Monday November 20 and UK viewers can stream the show using the HayU app from November 29.
