We run down the best, the worst, the silliest and the skimpiest of the looks presented at the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not the holiday gift thing. Nor that other holiday vacation thing. Not even that snow thing, even though sometimes faux snow is involved. No, it’s the time of the year when CBS conquers the 10pm hour by airing the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. They get a whole to parade models in their underwear for the male gaze to probosculate upon.

Of course, there are a few things that come along with the airing of a Fashion Show live on TV. Most Fashion Shows are fifteen minutes tops and simply feature women walking in circles. Not this. Due to the need to fill an hour of TV, the Paris show fills out the evening with live performances by such pop luminaries as The Weeknd and Lady Gaga.

Though the musical interludes were appreciated by the audience and are a handy excuse that it’s not all just women wearing underwear live on TV, let’s face it, what everyone really tuned in for were the ridiculous outfits they put the models in, along with the underwear. Below, we’ve rounded up the Best, Worst and Silliest of the looks that walked the runway.
