Kylie Jenner made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, modeling a fantasy bra reportedly valued at $50 million. The beauty mogul’s runway debut drew attention, but not everyone welcomed the brand’s decision to feature her in the show. While many were elated to see the businesswoman make her way into the modeling world, others were furious to see no OG VS Angel getting the opportunity to wear the $50 million Fantasy Bra. Adrianne Curry, a former model, recently slammed the lingerie brand for choosing Jenner over many other talented models.

Curry, the first winner of America’s Next Top Model, criticized Jenner’s appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. According to Page Six, Curry criticized the brand during an Instagram Live, arguing that the show has changed significantly from what it once represented. She fumed, “Nothing against Kylie Jenner … you’re not a f—— model,” before adding that she does not “have a model’s body.”

The former model continued to throw shade on the brand’s decision to bring Jenner to the runway. She said, “I don’t know why they put her in the mega bra,” before arguing, “That’s for the belle of the ball.” Curry continued to throw shade on the brand, reminding them that the Fantasy Bra is meant for the OG Angels. “That is for the top Victoria’s Secret Angel. That is like winning homecoming queen, and they just give it to Jenner,” she said. 

Curry expressed her disappointment in Victoria’s Secret, calling the brand a joke. She said, “In 2010, I would say Victoria’s Secret meant something.” The former model also clarified that she was not happy with the brand’s commitment to inclusivity. “I could literally pull up missing an arm and a leg, and they’d be like, ‘Oh my God, yes, she’s perfect.’ How did I qualify? ‘You’re missing limbs.’ Oh, so virtuous. There’s no skill,” she fumed. 

The 44-year-old argued that the brand no longer discovers its new talent. She cited Adriana Lima’s example, who was discovered while walking in Brazil. “She wasn’t a big influencer. No one knew he,” Curry explained. She called the model “perfect” after she walked for the latest show. 

Many social media users had the same view as Curry. Critics slammed the brand for disrespecting its oldest Angels and bringing Jenner in to present the Fantasy Bra. 

Meanwhile, Jenner noted that she could not believe she walked the runway for VS. The beauty mogul shared several glimpses of her runway debut, sharing it was more like a dream for her. She wrote, “STILL DREAMING … thank you @victoriassecret !!! a moment I’ll never forget,” in the caption. In another post, she penned, “Pinch me,” indicating the same.

The Fantasy Bra did not have a piece of cloth on it. Instead, it was handcrafted only with gold and diamonds by Jacob & Co. According to People, it was specifically constructed to fit Jenner. The bra had 4,410 natural diamonds in different shapes and sizes. However, the star among the thousands of pieces was a 75.54-carat Fancy Vivid yellow diamond carefully placed in the center. 

Jacob Arabo expressed his vision behind the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever made. “For me, it had to be about the diamonds, the light, and the movement. We brought together exceptional diamonds in different shapes and sizes, including our proprietary Angel-Cut, and designed the piece so that it catches light with every step,” the jeweler said. He further added that it was the emotions with which the bra was created that mattered to him the most.
