Former America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry has dismissed Kylie Jenner’s debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, saying she doesn’t have the body to be walking the runway.

Jenner, 29, walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway in Los Angeles for the first time ever, wearing the fashion brand’s iconic Fantasy Bra.

The entrepreneur is the only non-VS angel to put on the iconic piece, following in the footsteps of previous Fantasy Bra models Claudia Schiffer, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel.

But in a livestream shared to X by TMZ and another user, Curry, now 44, said that Jenner shouldn’t have been including because she’s “not a f***ing model.”

“Nothing against Kylie Jenner … you don’t have a model’s body,” Curry said in the clip that has been viewed more than 204,000 times. “I don’t know why they put her in the mega bra. That’s for the belle of the ball. That is like winning homecoming queen, and they just give it to Jenner? Like get the f*** out of here.”

Curry went on to call Victoria’s Secret “a joke” and chided them for not taking chances on unknown faces.

“In 2010, I would say Victoria’s Secret meant something,” Curry added. “Now it’s meaningless.”

Curry went on to accuse the company of “virtue signalling” over its 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 said.

Citing Adriana Lima as a model that it helped discovered, Curry lamented that Victoria’s Secret used to create “megastars,” but accused the company of now relying on “virtue signaling and other people’s fame to make it.”

Reaction to Curry’s rant was mixed — a number of commenters agreed with her, saying “she’s not telling lies.”

But many others accused Curry of being jealous.

“You can literally see the jealousy oozing from her pores,” one person wrote, with another adding, “Whatever happened to woman empowering women? People are never satisfied. It’s giving first world problems…Kylie, Ms. girl you killed it and look so stunning! Truly served us everythinggg!!”

According to Vogue, the $50 million, four-pound Fantasy Bra was made up of 4,410 natural diamonds and a 75.54-carat radiant-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamond. It took 15 craftspeople 1,000 hours to build it.

Jenner called honour ‘a moment I’ll never forget’

The Kylie Cosmetics co-founder gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at the epic show on Instagram, revealing behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the bra, which was designed in collaboration with luxury jewellery house JACOB & CO.

“Still dreaming,” the mother of two captioned a carousel of close-ups showing her breasts practically bursting out of the jewel-encrusted bra. She also thanked Victoria’s Secret for “a moment I’ll never forget.”

In a message posted to the Victoria’s Secret website, JACOB & CO. founder Jacob Arabo said that he wanted to “create the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever made.”

“For me, it had to be about the diamonds, the light, and the movement,” he said. “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 craft is extraordinary, and what matters most is the emotion it creates when you see it come to life on the runway.”

Prior to Jenner donning the garment, the last Fantasy Bra was worn in 2018 by Elsa Hosk.

Sunday’s star-studded event also featured appearances by veteran Angels and many more, including pop star Tate McRae, who performed a medley of songs in a red garter belt and corset top.
