Perhaps you’ve noticed by now on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and under every rock that a little fashion show for Victoria’s Secret was held last night in New York at the Armory. Once again, the brand spared no expense in putting together a fast-paced production set to air on CBS on December 10th, which will eventually land on the televisions in a whopping 185 countries. Front rowers for the show, now in its 18th year, included Valentino, Ciara, Estelle, Pete Wentz, Nigel Barker, Olivia Palermo, Stephen Dorff, and Adam Levine, who jumped to his feet to cheer when fiancé Behati Prinsloo spread her wings on the runway. (It was just two years ago that Levine was on stage performing his song “Moves Like Jagger” with then-girlfriend and angel Anne V. walking. She wisely sat this one out this year.)

Oscar de la Renta is expanding his empire with a lower-priced capsule for Net-A-Porter’s sister site, The Outnet. The 24-piece offering will retail for a fraction of the cost of the designer’s core collection, maxing out at $1,295 for a coral silk faille trapeze gown. And there’s more where that came from. The collection will feature 11 dresses in total, ranging from a classic ladies-who-lunch shift dress to a candy-colored floral frock–all crafted from patterns and fabrics of seasons past. Oscar de la Renta for The Outnet is slated to debut on February 26th with Olivia Palermo as the face of the collection. Previously, The Outnet has collaborated with Alexander McQueen, Anna Sui, and Erdem.
