HAPPY Victoria’s Secret fashion show day, everybody!

The day we look at a string of impossibly beautiful creatures stalking a runway, and think to ourselves “that is the most impractical, uncomfortable bra I have ever seen”.

You really have to hand it to the high profile models for keeping a poker face as they power down the catwalk in some of the most ridiculous outfits ever seen on god’s green earth.

Let’s look at some of this year's most bonkers looks.

Gigi Hadid appears to have escaped a near-death skydiving accident where she landed on a freshly painted paisley wall.

Adriana Lima looks emotional here because reportedly this is her final Victoria’s Secret show. Or it could be that all those crystals are cutting into her rock hard abs.

MORE CELEBS THAN YOU CAN POKE A STICK AT

The fact that this year’s show was conveniently set in New York meant that there were loads of celebs in attendance.

And it seems this is the event where you can bust out your most daring outfits — the lower the neckline and the higher the hemline the better. Also, don’t be afraid to wear underwear as outerwear.

ALL THE BACKSTAGE ACTION

As ever, this glorious day starts with photos of the girls backstage (at Pier 94 in New York) in matching robes having their hair and makeup done.

Instagram is littered with models crowned with hot rollers posting selfies with hashtags such as #LIFEGOALS #ZOMG and #dreamsdocometrue.

Um guys, your robes seem to be riding up a bit there … Maggie Laine, Alexina Graham, Myrthe Bolt, Barbara Palvin, and Leomie Anderson.

And if you have ever wondered how you are going to pose when you eventually become a lingerie model, this is how you do it. It appears you just bounce from one leg to the other a fair bit. Looks natural, no?
