Reporting Live Tomorrow from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
It's that time of year again! While you can tune in on November 29th and watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, I'll be there tomorrow for the taping as the angels prep backstage and walk the runway. Of course, I'll be tweeting live on site and posting images, interviews and videos immediately after the show on BeautySweetSpot so you can get the scoop right away. Last year I got to go into the spray tan tent to see exactly how the models bodies were sculpted with product (see post) despite their workout regimens and diets and interview all the models pre-show on video including Alessandra Ambrosio.
This year, special guest performers include Kanye West, Maroon 5, Cee Lo Green and just announced – Nicki Minaj. WWD reports the themes for this years show will include ballet, super angels, passion play, angels aquatic, I put a spell on you and club pink. There will be 69 costumes in total and 38 models walking the catwalk.

In the video below McKnight explains the look and converses with Alessandra as she impatiently begins to do her own!
Key products used were Very Sexy Hairspray (can be used on the bod too!) and Tousled Waves Enhancer.
