2018維密大秀！你想知道的都這兒！

Every year, the Victoria's Secret show brings its famous bejewelled Angels together for what is consistently a glittery catwalk extravaganza. It's the most-watched fashion event of the year (800 million tune in annually) with around $12 million (about £9.2 million) spent on putting the spectacle together - a huge figure considering most catwalk shows cost an estimated $1million (about £700,000).

每年，維密秀都會帶來珠光寶氣的天使走豪華貓步，是收視率最高的時尚盛典（年均收視率達8億），舞臺搭設花費1200萬美元，而大部分秀場耗資約爲100萬美元。

Here's everything we know about the 2018 show so far:

2018年維密秀情況如下。

The line-up

節目安排

While those responsible for casting the Victoria's Secret show probably already have a fairly good idea about who they want to appear on the catwalk, they still go through the theatre of holding castings, as with any other fashion show - which they often release video footage of.

維密的選角導演可能已經對模特有了想法，他們手上拿着候選名單和其他時裝秀的視頻資料穿過劇院。

This means that several weeks prior to the show, you'll have a parade of models photographed arriving at the Victoria's Secret HQ in New York, giving us a pretty good indication of who might be appearing (although it's not always guaranteed; Hailey Baldwin was spotted turning up for a casting last year but didn't ever make the final line-up, as was Gigi Hadid who was later forced to pull out).

也就是說維密秀前幾周，你可能會看到衆多模特被拍到抵達紐約維密總部，讓我們知道可能的人選。（不過也不能確保萬無一失，去年海莉·鮑德溫出現在候選名單上，但最終未能出演，而吉吉·哈迪德最後也被迫出局。）

At last year's casting, they gave each of the models a pair of huge feathered wings to leave with, just to make sure people really noticed them.

去年選擇模特時，模特需要穿一對巨大的羽毛翅膀，確保大家會注意到她們。

The models will then take to Instagram to express their delight at being selected for this year's show. So far this year, Toni Garrn has confirmed that she will be returning to the catwalk following a five-year absence.

模特之後也會在社交媒體Instagram上表達被選中的喜悅。今年，託妮·伽恩已經確認會返回舞臺，這也是缺席了五年的她首度迴歸。

Winnie Harlow will also be making her Victoria's Secret debut. The model re-tweeted several messages of congratulations from fans after the news was leaked.

維尼·哈露也將開啓維密首秀，在推特上轉發了幾條粉絲泄露的祝賀消息。

The show generally features a mix of seasoned Angels (Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, Candice Swanepoel); high-profile names (Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Bella and Gigi Hadid); and a fortunate batch of newcomers or lesser-known faces.

維密秀常用經驗豐富的模特（阿德里亞娜·利馬、莉莉·奧爾德里奇和坎蒂絲·斯瓦內普爾）、人氣流量（肯達爾·詹娜、卡莉·克勞斯、貝拉和吉吉·哈迪德），以及一些幸運的新人和大衆不熟知的面龐。

Two regular faces that we won't be seeing in the 2018 show are Alessandra Ambrosio, who confirmed that she'd be hanging up her wings after 12 years of walking for the brand, and Lily Aldridge, who is pregnant with her second child.

今年我們看不到亞歷山大·安布羅休，爲維密走過12年秀的壓力山大在今年終於脫下了翅膀，莉莉·奧爾德里奇身懷二胎，也不能參加今年的走秀。

The venue

地點

The location of the Victoria's Secret show changes frequently; it's previously been held everywhere from London and Paris to Miami, LA and New York. Last year's took place in Shanghai. The brand has steadily been building presence in mainland China, with a total of 26 stores across the country, so it made commercial sense to take the Angels there. While this year's location has yet to be announced, it's likely to be a key market for the lingerie label.

維密秀的地點常常改變，此前在倫敦、巴黎、邁阿密、洛杉磯和紐約辦過，去年在上海舉辦。維密正在中國內地穩步拓展市場，共有26家門店，在上海舉辦維密秀也就不足爲奇了。但是今年的舉辦場地尚未公開，很有可能成爲內衣品牌的重點市場。

All the models will then travel to the location together via a VS private jet providing many an Instagram opportunity.

所有的模特都將搭乘維密私人飛機前往秀場，屆時Instagram又有機會出場了。

The date

日期

A date for this year's show has yet to be confirmed (and presumably won't be until the location is announced), but it generally takes place towards the end of November or beginning of December every year. It's then broadcast on TV and online a few days later.

幾年的日期尚未公佈（極有可能在地點公佈之後公開），但是通常在11月末或者12月初舉辦，幾天後會在電視和網絡上進行宣傳。

The costumes

服裝

Often less is more when it comes to the VS show, with models typically showcasing little more than lingerie, heels and a pair of wings. There are always 'themes', like 'sexy sportswear' or 'sexy nightwear' or 'sexy fairyland nymphs' - and, despite the theatrical and often playful costumes, the underwear always takes centre stage (of course, let's not forget the entire point of this is to sell knickers).

說到維密秀通常衣服越少感覺越好，模特通常只比內衣+鞋子+翅膀的組合多穿一點點。會有諸如“性感運動服”“性感睡衣”“性感仙女”之類的主題，雖然也有戲劇化、趣味性強的衣服，內衣通常是主要展品（當然也別忘了維密的核心還是賣內衣）。

The performers

表演嘉賓

Every year the models are joined by some of the biggest names in music, who provide the soundtrack to each section of the show. Last year's acts to hit the catwalk in Shanghai were former One Directioner Harry Styles, Grammy winner Miguel, Hamilton alum Leslie Odom Jr. and Chinese pop sensation Jane Zhang.

每年模特的出場都伴隨着音樂界大佬提供的背景音樂。去年上海的秀場由樂隊One Directioner 前成員哈里·斯泰爾斯、格萊美獎獲得者馬吉爾、小萊斯利・奧多姆和中國流行音樂巨星張靚穎聯袂出演。

There will be glitter and lots of it

閃閃閃

Whether backstage, on the catwalk or at the after-party, Victoria's Secret would be nothing without its unimaginable levels of pink and silver glitter. It's basically a larger-scale version of Paris Hilton's birthday party.

不管是後臺、秀場還是晚宴，沒有魔幻的粉色和銀光，維密秀就不是維密秀了。這很像帕麗斯·希爾頓的大型生日聚會。

Expect some form of 'drama'

期待“戲劇”

Remember the time Ariana Grande nearly got knocked out by Elsa Hosk's furry wings? Or the alleged 'awkwardness' between then-exes Bella Hadid and The Weeknd? Or when Yolanda Hadid posted that controversial childhood shot of nude Bella and Gigi in angel wings? Or when Jourdan Dunn described the brand as "BS" after she wasn't recruited for the catwalk? Or when Cara Delevingne dismissed allegations she had been banned from the show because she was "too fat?" Another VS show calls for another round of drama.

還記得愛莉安娜·格蘭德幾乎被艾爾莎·霍斯卡的羽毛翅膀打下臺嗎？又或者是威肯和當時的前任貝拉·哈迪德同臺的尷尬場面？尤蘭達·哈迪德曬過貝拉和吉吉裸體穿維密翅膀的童年照也備受爭議。卓丹·鄧稱維密在沒有入圍後稱維密是“BS”。卡拉·迪瓦伊打破謠言說自己並未因爲“過胖”被維密拒之門外。新的維密秀，新的戲劇舞臺。

Everyone will have 'mermaid hair'

每個人都會有“美人魚的頭髮”

Victoria's Secret is not one to push boundaries when it comes to its beauty. The favoured look of recent years? Fluttery lashes and long beachy waves. Today, you'd be hard-pushed to find a VS Angel with short cropped hair or any more alternative style.

維密對美女並無明晰的標準。近幾年最受喜愛的長相是什麼樣呢？閃爍的睫毛和長長的捲髮。今年你可能很難找到短髮或者類似髮型的維密天使。
