Gigi Hadid Won't Be in the VS Fashion Show—Read Her Announcement

The Victoria's Secret Fashion show will only have one Hadid sister this year. In 2016, Gigi was there to support Bella, who was walking in the event for the very first time, but now Bella will be the only one traveling to Shanghai. In a tweet, Gigi wrote a sweet note explaining that she'll be cheering on all the other models at the show.
"I'm so bummed I won't be able to make it to China this year," Hadid wrote in the post. "Love my VS family, and will be with all my girls in spirit!! Can't wait to tune in with everyone to see the beautiful show I know it will be, and already can't wait for next year! :) x." The announcement was made very last-minute, as the show tapes on Monday, November 20. Here's hoping she'll come back to the iconic event in 2018.
