CHA-CHING. The world’s top supermodels have strutted a seriously cashed up Victoria’s Secret runway.
Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Taylor Hill, Jasmine Tookes, Kendall Jenner, sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Lily Aldridge walked for the US lingerie giant in Paris.
The VS parade is massive business for the models, who have a collective net worth of more than $50 million, according to Forbes.
Being Victoria’s Secret models adds serious cred to their careers, with the accolade last year catapulting Jenner and Gigi Hadid from rising stars to supermodel status.

ON THE RUNWAY
The US lingerie giant took over the venue usually reserved for Chanel’s high-fashion runway to mark its 21st parade.
Models wore some seriously striking lingerie ensembles (and trademark feathered wings).
Famous for its barely-there bras and knickers, Victoria’s Secret attempted a more high-fashion and covered up look this year, dressing models in thigh-high boots, sheer capes and Burberry-style trench coats, even styling Jasmine Tookes in a sleeved top.
Though she showed off her, um, cheeky side when she turned around.

Lingerie looks were styled around the themes of Road Ahead, Mountain Romance, Pink Nation, Secret Angel, Dark Angel and Bright Night Angel.
Victoria’s Secret runway veterans (by model standards) Lima and Ambrosio, both 35, and Aldridge, 31, were joined by younger social media stars including Taylor Hill, 20, Jenner, 21, Gigi Hadid, 21, and Bella Hadid, 20.
Strutting in a Victoria’s Secret runway show is big business for models, with their VS contracts said to be worth “six figuresâ€, according to Forbes.
AFTER-PARTY
It’s no secret Victoria’s Secret models train like athletes, working out in the gym and eating clean in the months leading up to the show.
So what happens at the after-party? They all can’t wait to eat.
Gigi Hadid tucked into a burger (according to her Snapchat feed), Kendall Jenner wanted a burger (she captioned an Instagram photo with “burger, pleaseâ€) and Dev Windsor posed with a pizza (“I’m actually dying of joy inside,†she wrote on Instagram).
Earlier, and still in model mode, the Hadid sisters styled up the official after-party.

FANTASY BRA
Los Angeles model Jasmine Tookes turned heads in the $3 million diamond and emerald-encrusted fantasy bra, while Jenner sported a baby blue and black corset-style lingerie set, complete with high-neck choker and stilettos adorned with tiny wings.
Bella Hadid, 20, made her VS debut, while her rumoured ex-boyfriend, Starboy singer The Weeknd, performed onstage.
