Models walk the runway during the finale of the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

At her fitting for her Psychedelic Angel costume, with hand-painted thigh-high boots and maybe the biggest wings of the show, Kloss said that while the garments are skimpy, they take months to make. Candice Swanepoel got the glory of the opening look, wearing a $10 million bra decorated with dia- monds, rubies and sapphires that was cleverly dubbed the “Crown Jewels.” She was quickly followed by Cara Delevingne as an English footballer and Lily Aldridge, who often gets the good-girl outfits, as a punk in a tartan plaid skirt that no school would allow. Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz trailed pretty closely behind them, and who can blame him? As has become tradition, there wasn’t much for the lingerie retailer’s customers to wear here, but there was drama, fun and a delicacy to the clothes that seemed a contrast to the more overt sexiness of the past few years. The light touch on the tattered tulle used for the Shipwrecked segment, and the black beads that caught the light of the faux French streetlamps on the side of the run- way were examples of design skill. This was the 18th Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. It will be shown as a one-hour special on CBS on Dec Models Sara Sampaio and Lais Ribeiro prepare at the 2013 10. —AP Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show hair and makeup room. ‘’s’ Gunn to host new fashion competition
