The hashtag and the smiley are fantastic while texting but best kept off the runway.

Victoria's Secret is well known for its outrageous lingerie, but some of these were well truly bizarre.

We start out with model Monika Jagaciak whose outfit reflected exactly what we thought of it too... except in a not-so-nice way.

A Victoria's Secret show without wings is like body without soul but even by VS standards, these butterfly wings seemed more apt in a children's fancy dress competition rather than a lingerie show.

Just in case you ever wondered what 'mixed emotions' meant... that right there is an apt representation!

When it isn't fluttering, the Union Jack is possibly one of the most recognised fashion motifs. But we aren't entirely sure what fashion statement the American Swifty was trying to make in this one. Do you?

The two things that crossed our minds when we saw this one (not necessarily in this order).

1. Did she just walk out of a Puma show?

2. Whatever happened to the wings!?

It's a raincoat; it's a lingerie... oh never mind!

We get the expression of wearing one's heart on one's sleeve. But we can't quite get our heads around this one.

What happens? Does it open up into a parachute?
