It's not long to go now until Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2015.

Details of the latest runway show have been kept under wraps (as usual) but we know The Weeknd, Selena Gomez and Rihanna will all perform for the lingerie giant's 20th anniversary catwalk.

Surprisingly, we have a small sneak peak into what the costumes are going to be like two weeks before the live show. 

HuffPost Canada Style exclusively revealed a costume from the Ice Angels section last night:

The stunning costume consists of a sheer, crystal-encrusted bodysuit, featuring a deep plunge to show off a white bra. 

White stiletto knee-high boots show off a front of white fur and snowflake style wings complete the gorgeous ensemble.

Now the only question is… what Angel will wear this chic piece?

It has just been announced that The Weeknd is set to play at Victoria's Secret 2015 Fashion Show

The Grammy-nominated singer will take to the stage on the December 8, alongside the stunning Victoria's Secret Angels including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge. 

The Hills crooner will also be welcoming newly appointed angels like Elsa Hock, Stella Maxwell and Rachel Hilbert. 

Bella Hadid's boyfriend will join a long and enviable line of lucky musicians who've performed at the highly anticipated show. 

Last year, Ariana Grande joined Taylor Swift, Hozier and Ed Sheeran at the star studded London event but all we're wondering is what hit song The Weeknd will sing at this years show.

Describing herself as a 'positive body activist' as well as a model, she is the size-26 beauty who has shaken up the fashion industry.

And now Tess Holliday – sometimes dubbed the world's first plus-sized supermodel – has decided to really push the boat out, posing up entirely nude.

In the gorgeous Instagram snap, which has notched up 42,000 likes since being posted, the 30-year-old includes an inspiring message for her fans.

"My relationship with my body is a journey, not a destination. I appreciate & honor what's it's done for me, & the life it brought into the world.

"I couldn't give a monkeys if you find me attractive or if my body offends you."

Ms Holliday recently criticised the likes of Victoria's Secret for not carrying larger sizes.

"Growing up in Mississippi, I definitely remember Victoria's Secret being a huge part of my teenage mall experience, but I couldn't really fit into any of the underwear," she told MTV News.

"I've never actually worn anything from there. I've never been able to." 

She added: "But I think to have the biggest lingerie retailer in the world carry plus-size lingerie would be a huge step in the right direction and an accomplishment, not just for the industry, but for women in general." 

Tess went on to state: "The bottom line is that there's this pervasive feeling that fat girls aren't supposed to feel sexy, and that needs to change.

"It's something plus-size women are constantly messaged – either overtly or subconsciously – and that shows in a lack of options for lingerie." 

At 1.65m tall, Ms Holliday weighs around 130kg. She first pursued her career at the age of 15, but didn't start modelling professionally until 2007. 

She has worked with Benefit cosmetics and H&M and has appeared in Nylon and Vogue Italia.

Uh-oh, this doesn't look too good…

It was probably one of the most star-studded fashion shows of the week but model Candice Swanepoel took quite a tumble during her walk for Givenchy.

Dressed in a black, semi-sheer midi dress and stiletto red and black fringed ankle boots, the 26-year-old South African Victoria's Secret Angel, who appears in Givenchy's new autumn campaigns, tripped and almost fell flat on her face. 

Security men helped her up and she continued walking the catwalk while trying to adjust her outfit.

Candice later took to Instagram to thank the people who helped her. She also showed us a gross picture of the cuts and bruises she endured because of the fall.

"Thank you to who ever picked me up off the runway tonight," she wrote. "Left with little scratches but mostly a bruised ego. #ohwell."

We’ve been idolising compact, rocket-style blenders for some time now.

They’re small, perfect for juicing and blending (hello, September detox) and super quick and easy to use.

A load of different models are available, but leading the way is, of course, the NutriBullet: the fancy-pants contraption (the manufacturers say it’s not a blender or processor but rather a “superfood nutrition extractor”) that boasts a load of celebrity endorsements.

The only issue? The €130 price-tag has always been a little out of our reach.

Which is why we reckon we’ve now died and gone to juicing heaven: Aldi is tomorrow morning releasing (unreasonable to start queuing now?) its very own mini food processor priced at just… €22.99.

We scoured the small print – and power-wise it comes in at 300W versus the NutriBullet’s 600W. So nope, definitely not as powerful.

But at more than €100 cheaper, we’re still absurdly excited about releasing our culinary potential in the run-up to Christmas.

Because when you’re not downing glasses of obliterated kale, the Aldi model is also pretty great for making salsa, hummus, pesto and dips.

It comes with two stainless steel blades to make chopping and blending a doddle. For your €22.99, you’ll furthermore get four small 260ml cups, two larger 473ml cups, six storage lids and another lid for shakes or smoothies.

In short: from tomorrow you too can be one of those smug, healthy types who skip to work and college proudly brandishing a beaker of fresh, home-made power liquid.

Yup, we’re envisioning us looking much more like a Victoria’s Secret model over forthcoming weeks and months.

And while we might quietly covet the NutriBullet in our spare time, we reckon this version will do us nicely until an unexpected cash-windfall comes our way.

Thank you, Aldi!

The mini food processor is priced at €22.99 and is available from Aldi’s 117 stores nationwide from tomorrow, Thursday, September 10, while stocks last.

Sisters are having a major moment in fashion right now. 

Kendall and Kylie, Beyoncé and Solange as well as Cara and Poppy all join the high ranks of stylish siblings – and now Gigi and Bella have joined the club. 

Gigi already has a majorly impressive CV as a model, both on the catwalk and in campaigns, but as we've seen from recent Instagram posts, her little sister Bella is following closely behind.

Early last week, Bella snapped a few photos from the set of a Victoria's Secret photo shoot, along with VS models Devon Windsor and Rachel Hilbert. 

And the girls seem to be having A LOT of fun behind-the-scenes!

Gigi began working for the famous lingerie label earlier this year, and now with Bella on the VS band wagon, it makes the pair the first ever sister duo. 

But the big question remains; even though they've made it to the campaigns – will they earn their wings and walk in the 20th Anniversary Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

Karlie Kloss has officially quit the catwalk to go to university. 

The former Victoria's Secret supermodel, hit the books this week, beginning her first day of college at New York University. 

The blonde beauty revealed she was ending her time on the catwalk earlier this year so she could focus on her education. 

Karlie took to Instagram to share the exciting photo of her first day at the prestigious college, but admitted in the caption that she's not as calm, cool and collected as she might seem. 

"I haven't been this nervous in years!", she wrote. 

The model-turned-student has worked hard in the past couple of months though, and just last week she teamed up with Make-A-Wish Foundation to allow two girls – Shannon and Maddie – to live their dreams of becoming models. 

Unfortunately, the girls have been diagnosed with "life-threatening medical conditions," but Karlie granted their wishes by giving them both very glamorous makeovers!

Karlie even documented the whole thing on her YouTube channel, which you can see here:

We wish Karlie the best of luck with her first semester of college!

As it turns out, it might not be that hard to look like a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Well… kind of.

Yes, we might not all be blessed with supermodel good looks, but we can certainly copy their beauty routine. 

South African Angel, Candice Swanepol, shared her beauty secrets with the world in her latest Vogue interview. 

In it, she revealed her top tips for achieving fresh-looking, blemish-free skin – and it's not actually all that hard. 

Indeed, Candice said that she relies on natural products to ensure she's always catwalk-ready.

"Because I wear a lot of make-up for work it's really important to keep my skin clean after work so I use a great natural face wash, tea tree oil and green tea".

"I use organic coconut oil to take my make-up off, I also add it to my smoothies to keep my skin glowing.

"It's a great all round natural beauty product."

Great for us so, as Vita Coco has just released their all-new coconut oil. We're half way there with you now, Candice!

She also revealed that she NEVER sleeps with her make up on (well, duh) to ensure her face is flawless. 

Having being scouted by a model agency when she was just a teenager, Candice has since walked the runway for big names such as Donna Karan and Michael Kors. She also fronted major campaigns for the likes of Nike. 

So it is no wonder that along the way she has picked up a wealth of insider beauty knowledge. As Max Factor's latest celebrity ambassador, the supermodel will be working with the world-renowned make up artist, Pat McGrath. 

"Pat McGrath taught me all about contouring, which is really big right now," she said. 

And if you want to get a body like Candice too, she thanks yoga, boxing and Pilates. 

We think we might just start using our coconut oil and yoga mats out now… supermodel beauty, here we come!

She made waves when she was announced as one of the new Victoria's Secret models in April of this year and now Russian beauty Kate Grigorieva has wed her sweetheart Alexander in a romantic ceremony in St. Peterberg, Russia.

The bride wore a dress from Zac Posen's bridal line in David's Bridal shop, and it did not disappoint. The dress was a fitted lace trumpet style and featured a sheer neckline and full length sleeves. The bride teamed her dress with a cathedral length lace veil. 

Her honey blonde hair was styled into a romantic low bun with her fringe swept to the side… perfection.

We feel Kate's bridesmaids also have to get a mention too, as they all looked stunning in mixture of purple dresses. 

Before the model rose to fame with Victoria's Secret she was previously a contestant on Russia's Next Top Model – where she came second – and also took part in Miss Russia 2012.

We wish all the best for the happy couple!

Weeks after she publicly came out as bisexual in an interview with Paper magazine, Miley Cyrus has been spotted getting intimate with Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell.

The 22-year-old singer had been linked to Stella in recent weeks, but neither had confirmed anything until now. Earlier this week though, the pair were spotted passionately kissing while on the set of Miley's new music video in Hollywood.

In a video obtained by TMZ, Miley and Stella can be seen looking towards the cameras before beginning to kiss. Things get so hot and heavy at one stage that TMZ even chose to blur the video at a certain point.

Wearing a gold sequinned mini dress and knee-high boots while Stella sported a black jumpsuit and cropped denim jacket, Miley seemed smitten with her new love interest. The couple were first rumoured to be an item a few weeks back when Miley posted this Instagram photo of them together:

Discussing her decision to tell the world she was bisexual, Miley said it was something she had known for years, and that she came out to her family back in her Hannah Montana days. "I remember telling [my mom] 'I admire women in a different way,'" the singer said, recalling a conversation she'd had with her mother aged 14. "And she asked me what that meant. And I said, 'I love them. I love them like I love boys.'"

Prior to meeting Stella, Miley was dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of acting legend Arnold Schwarzenegger. The couple were dating for a few months but things went south when Patrick was seen getting very cosy with another woman while on his spring break in Mexico.

We're delighted to see she has found someone new!

Just last week it was revealed that Taylor Swift's bestie Karlie Kloss would be finishing up her contract with Victoria's Secret – but it turns out she's not the only one. 

Karlie reportedly decided to quit working with the brand to give her more time to focus on her studies, after accepting a place at NYU. Victoria's Secret's senior director Ed Razek announced the news with a post to Instagram over the weekend, but he was soon pushed by fans to explain Doutzen Kroes' rumoured departure, too. 

Ed addressed the controversy with another Instagram post, writing, "After I posted the news about @karliekloss leaving VS I got a number of texts asking me why I hadn't said anything about Doutzen leaving at the end of last year. Fair question. The simple answer is I should have."

Although Doutzen did walk the runway in December's Victoria's Secret show, she apparently quit soon after.

"Doutzen had a lucrative opportunity in Europe and it would have conflicted with her VS obligations," Ed continued. "So, at her agencies request, we released her from contract. There was no conflict. No animosity. None of the nonsense I've read on Instagram. She had a great business opportunity, and I wanted to be fair to someone I adore and respect. That's all. I honestly believe Doutzen is one of the most stunningly beautiful people in the world. And I always will. I have told her that many times. Now you know."

The Dutch beauty began modelling with VS ten years ago, and was crowned an Angel in 2008. 

As for Karlie, Ed was again keen to reiterate that there was NO conflict behind her decision to depart. "Karlie is one of a kind, a very close friend, someone I truly admire and love. She is, without question, one of the best models ever," he wrote. 

"But she is an even better person. Her future is unlimited, and I am excited to see all the good she will do. Karlie Kloss will always be an Angel to me."

First Miranda Kerr, then Rosie Huntington-Whiteley… and now Karlie and Doutzen! At this rate there won't be any Angels left for next year's show!

It has been confirmed that model Karlie Kloss has quit Victoria’s Secret and we're totally okay about it…we swear. 

Karlie was only named a VS Angel in 2013, two years after her first fashion show with the lingerie giant, but it has now been reported she won’t be joining another show.

It would seem that the model’s growing list of clients may be to blame for the shock announcement, as chief marketing officer for VS, Ed Razek told People magazine: “Karlie and I met several months ago to discuss the many things she hoped to do in her life and career. As we talked, it became clear she would not have the time to fulfil her myriad commitments. Reluctantly, we agreed she would leave the brand at the end of her contract.”

No doubt the model won’t be idle after she leaves her wings behind, not only does she have fashion campaigns with Marc Jacob, Kate Spade and  L’Oréal Paris, she is also planning to attend New York University in September – phew!

It sounds as if this gal won’t have any trouble finding work – but we will miss her and her bestie Taylor Swift getting their groove on!
