Kylie Jenner Sparks Backstage Friction at Victoria's Secret Show
Reports suggest underlying tension among models following Jenner's appearance in a heavily publicized Fantasy Bra.
Kylie Jenner's appearance at the Victoria's Secret runway show on Sunday night, sporting a dazzling Fantasy Bra, reportedly created ripples of discontent among the veteran models.
The reality television star, who was unveiled in the $50 million jewel-encrusted bra, emerged during the event, a moment that allegedly left some established catwalk queens speechless. Details suggest a perceived slight in the casting and the spotlight cast upon Jenner, overshadowing long-standing figures in the industry.
This development has also brought scrutiny to the behind-the-scenes dynamics and prior arrangements. Jenner's mother, Kris Jenner, has been implicated in facilitating her daughter's prominent role in the show.
The Fantasy Bra itself has a history of being worn by top-tier models. Gisele Bündchen, for instance, wore a $12.5 million iteration in 2005. Jenner's turn in the latest iteration marked a significant moment, drawing considerable attention to her presence.
Sources indicate that Jenner was positioned somewhat apart from other models during certain segments, with images showing her on the far left of a group that included seasoned Angels Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio. Her sister, Kendall Jenner, who has walked for Victoria's Secret in the past, was notably absent from this year's show, reportedly due to a conflict with another lingerie brand endorsement.
Other notable figures in attendance included Bella Hadid, a frequent presence at such events, and Momager Kris Jenner, who was seen in the audience alongside Kylie's partner, Timothée Chalamet. The event, held in Los Angeles, generated significant buzz, amplified by Jenner's participation.
