UPDATE-Watch a clip of Kanye West‘s performance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show below.

Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z and Maroon 5 – it’s safe to say Victoria’s Secret spared no expense for it’s annual fashion show! Reportedly the price tag hit $12 million! Of course a $2.5 million bejeweled ‘Fantasy Treasure Bra’ dripping with yellow diamonds and pearls helps push up that price tag. Nonetheless, entertainment was bar none.

Let’s touch on the models before the musical treats. If you’ve ever watched or had the pleasure of attending a Victoria’s Secret fashion show you know it’s theme heavy! There were six different themes including ‘Super Angels’ and ‘Aquatic Angels’. New mom Miranda Kerr showed off her post baby body wearing said $2.5 million bra! Models Chanel Iman, and Brazilian bombshells Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio also did their thing. Check out a slew of pictures below.

Now back to the music!

Nicki Minaj in her usual wacky outfits performed her biggest hit to date, Super Bass while Adam Levine and Maroon 5 grooved to ‘Moves Like Jagger’.

Jay-Z (Beyonce was in the crowd cheering) joined Kanye West to perform their hit “N—as in Paris”. But before Jay-Z came on, Kanye West opened with his hit ‘Stronger’. West was scheduled to perform this same song in 2007 but canceled after the untimely death of his mother Dr. Donda West. He took some time to remember her,

“In 2007, I was supposed to perform this song … then my mom passed away. She was my superhero. Now she’s my super-angel.”

How sweet….Check pictures from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show below. The show airs on Nov. 29th at 10pm on CBS

Updated with video. It’s a little choppy but it’s a great preview with clips of the performances for the evening.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
