33 Retina-Assaulting Moments From The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

    It's the brightest, loudest, shiniest fashion show known to man. Make sense of it, if you can.

    1. Apparently there was some sort of Americana theme.

    2. This!

    3. This is probably the wrong pose.

    4. Some looks felt awkwardly "too soon."

    5. Bedazzled candy canes made for "wings."

    6. The only thing more perplexing than the front of this one...

    7. Is the back of it.

    8. The diamond bra is supposed to be the showpiece of the whole event.

    9. Rihanna serenaded the allegedly underwear-themed festivities.

    10. Of course, she did her best to play up the sexual tension any men watching the show, in their most stereotypical moments, might wish for.

    11. This photo just about sums up the awkwardness of all of this.

    12. Justin Bieber?

    13. Looks like we'll have to wait for the show to air on TV to see if he rode around in the "bike" basket as part of his routine.

    14. If he's almost as tall as the models when they're wearing heels, does that mean he's all grown up now?

    15. Rihanna was much more modest about the finale.

    16. Of course the girls wore kids' toys when Bieber performed...

    17. ...while Bieber was dressed like Karl Lagerfeld.

    18. Many of the outfits on the runway were ornate in entirely new ways.

    19. Some just looked like "Gypsy Wedding" dresses with the front removed.

    Rihanna managed to wear the world's most perfect outfit to the after-party.

    20. The show may also have been looking ahead to St. Patrick's Day.

    21. Is she wearing...a round bed?

    22. Making sense is for losers.

    23. Some of the most dramatic wings were made of actual feathers.

    24.

    25. But many still were made of carnival detritus.

    26. And there were glitter bras that had the truly remarkable effect of making boobs look five times their natural size.

    27. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is one of the best jobs a model can land these days.

    28. Fascinators had a few big moments on the runway.

    29. Magic hovering pom-poms, anyone?

    30. Side vagina: It's a thing!

    31. Or maybe Adriana Lima is bidding those service people adieu.

    32. Poodle-esque weirdness aside, who else is jealous of her glitter Hula-Hoop?

    33. Lights, balloons, throw them some cupcakes!!!!
