Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show canceled
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been canceled, according to Shanina Shaik.
Victoria's Secret Angel Shanina Shaik says that the iconic lingerie brand's annual fashion show is a no-go for 2019.
"Unfortunately, the Victoria's Secret show won't be happening this year," Shaik, 28, revealed in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. "It's something I'm not used to because every year around this time I'm training like an Angel. But I'm sure in the future something will happen, which I'm pretty sure about."
She added, "I'm sure they're trying to work on branding and new ways to do the show, because it's the best show in the world."
Shaik modeled in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has suffered from diminishing ratings for several years.
W reports that the 2018 show hit a record low in viewership with a 0.9 rating within the the target demo of viewers between 18 and 49 years of age, with a total audience of 3.27 million.

At the show's 2001 peak, 12.4 million viewers tuned in to see the skimpy numbers and shiny wings.
He then apologized, saying in a statement, “My remark regarding the inclusion of transgender models in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show came across as insensitive. I apologize. To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgender model for the show. We’ve had transgender models come to castings… And like many others, they didn’t make it… But it was never about gender. I admire and respect their journey to embrace who they really are.”
