The 2017 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was held in Shanghai, China.
The show was recorded at Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena on November 20, 2017, and later broadcast by CBS. It marked the first time the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show had been staged in Asia, giving the event a major international setting beyond its usual American and European locations.
The production featured musical performances by Harry Styles, Miguel, Leslie Odom Jr., Li Yundi, and Jane Zhang. Brazilian model Lais Ribeiro wore that year’s Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra, which was valued at $2 million.
The Shanghai show is also remembered for its complicated preparation. Several performers and models reportedly encountered visa problems, and Katy Perry was unable to attend. The event’s location is sometimes confused with Hong Kong or Beijing, but the official venue was in Shanghai. The 2017 production was also the final Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show broadcast on CBS.
