America's Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry slams Kylie Jenner's Victoria's Secret appearance saying she doesn't have a 'model's body'
America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry has hit out at Kylie Jenner being selected to wear a $50-million ‘mega’ bra at the Victoria’s Secret show at the weekend, saying she doesn’t have ‘a model’s body’.
Jenner, 29, made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut on Sunday (18 October) evening, turning up the heat wearing a Fantasy Bra covered in 4,410 natural diamonds with a 75.54-carat radiant-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamond in the centre.
According to Vogue, the bra took ‘15 craftspeople more than 1,000 hours to make’ and is the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever to grace the VS runway, costing a cool $50 million to create.
Jenner wore the ‘spenny bra worn with a sheer mini skirt over a pair of teeny silver underpants, clear heels, and a huge pair of wings in angelic white.

As you might have already seen, the look was a hit with Jenner’s boyfriend Timothée Chalamet who watched on with a huge smile on his face and burst into applause, as he sat beside Jenner’s mum Kris.
However, not everyone was a fan.
Inaugural winner of America’s Next Top Model Curry, 44, was less than impressed and took to a livestream to share her thoughts.
“Everything is a f***ing virtue signal or ‘who's the biggest influencer’,” she said.
“I'm sorry, nothing against Kylie Jenner, [but] you're not a f***ing model. You don't have a model's body. I don't know why they put her in the mega bra. That's for the belle of the ball. That is for the top Victoria's Secret Angel. That is like winning homecoming queen, and they just give it to Jenner.”
Curry, who worked with the likes of Ed Hardy, Von Dutch and Marie Claire during her career, then branded Victoria’s Secret ‘a joke’.
Jenner has yet to respond to the criticism, but it seems she’s delighted with being chosen to wear the Fantasy Bra - seen as the centrepiece of the Victoria’s Secret show.
In a post to Instagram after she strutted her stuff on the runway, she shared a snap of her wearing the diamond and gold bra, declaring it the ‘best day ever’.
The record-smashing piece of lingerie was designed by luxury jewellery house Jacob & Co, with founder Jacob Arabo explaining 'even with exact measurements, what looks good on paper doesn’t always work the same way on the body'.
He added: “Every curve, every diamond, and every piece of gold had to be carefully placed so the bra would be both beautiful and comfortable.”
Explaining why the company decided to choose Jenner to model the piece, Victoria's Secret creative director Adam Selman told Vogue: “Kylie really extends beyond fashion, beyond culture, beyond TV, beyond one singular thing.
“That’s the exact same thing that we do. Like, the show is so big, it’s true entertainment, and I think that she is a great catalyst for that.”
He continued: “I think it’s an interesting pairing that we’re giving the fans: we’re giving them what they want with this amazing Fantasy Bra, and we’re going to put it on an unexpected talent who has a massive following and massive cultural impact.
“I think it’s fun. I think it’s really joyful, and I think it’s fun to celebrate in a different way that people aren’t going to expect.”
