Adrianne Curry Says Kylie Jenner "Is Not a Model" and Didn't Deserve the $50 Million Fantasy Bra

The first winner of America’s Next Top Model has opinions, and she shared all of them on a Monday livestream. Adrianne Curry went after Victoria’s Secret for putting Kylie Jenner in Sunday’s Los Angeles fashion show wearing the $50 million diamond fantasy bra, saying flat out that Jenner“is not a model.”According to Curry, that bra is supposed to go to a top Angel, not a celebrity influencer borrowing the spotlight.

Curry didn’t stop there. She called the brand“a joke”and“meaningless,”arguing Victoria’s Secret abandoned its talent-scouting roots for influencer casting and virtue signaling. She pointed to the way the brand famously discovered Adriana Lima in Brazil as the kind of discovery moment that no longer happens. Victoria’s Secret, meanwhile, has been rebuilding its image around inclusivity and headline-grabbing names, and Sunday’s show was the biggest example yet.

The internet split immediately. Some fans backed Curry’s take on modeling credentials, while others accused her of jealousy aimed at one of the most famous women on the planet. The whole thing stirs up bigger questions about celebrity casting, body standards, and whether inclusivity pushes in fashion are genuine or performative. So we have to ask: does a runway spot belong to trained models or to whoever draws the biggest crowd? Sound off in the comments.
