A few months ago, it was reported that Kendall Jenner wouldn’t be joining the Victoria’s Secret angels at the upcoming fashion show because of her new deal with La Perla. It seems like she won’t be the only one skipping out this year. Gigi Hadid tweeted this morning that she too won’t be able to make it to China for the show.
I’m so bummed I won’t be able to make it to China this year. Love my VS family, and will be with all my girls in spirit!! Can’t wait to tune in with everyone to see the beautiful show I know it will be, and already can’t wait for next year! 🙂 x

She did not give a reason as to why but she showed some love to her VS family and said that she’s, “already can’t wait for next year!” We might not know exactly why she won’t be attending but it could be because of her racially insensitive video on social media that Chinese netizens were not happy about.
Aside from Gigi Hadid, it looks like a lot of other models won’t be able to walk the runway. According to Fashionista, models like Julia Belyakova, Kate Grigorieva, Irina Sharipova, and Dasha Khlystun reportedly weren’t able to secure their Visa to China.
This news comes after Vogue’s sneak peek at the Balmain wings and just days before the Nov. 28 air date.
Despite these models’ absence, will you still be tuning in to the show?
