Gigi Hadid’s Huge Parachute Wings Almost Took Shawn Mendes Out on the Victoria’s Secret Runway

Gigi Hadid hit the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the first time since 2016 and her return was nothing short of epic. For the event, she wore two incredible looks and both included gigantic wings.

Gigi’s first outfit was a patchwork plaid robe, totally open at the front and boasting only a single sleeve and waist tie. Underneath, it revealed a purple plaid underwire bra and bikini briefs, along with a red plaid belt around her waist that we, quite frankly, can totally picture her wearing in real life. On her feet were thigh-high boots that laced all the way up, from toe to tip, in a way in which it would have been impossible not to make a huge statement.

Her second look, however, had her walking amid a parachute as part of the Mary Katrantzou x Victoria’s Secret segment of the show. In a pink floral bra, she wore a bodysuit on top that covered most everything else. Attached to her back was a backpack-style set of “wings” that was actually a floral and kaleidoscope patterned parachute, looking as though it were turned inside out and following her down the catwalk. It was so huge, that in a video captured at the event, singer Shawn Mendes seems to scurry out of the way to not get hit.

This is Gigi Hadid's third year walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, having first strutted her stuff on the stage in 2015 but skipping last year reportedly due to visa issues when the show took to Shanghai.
