Victoria’s Secret Apologizes for Karlie Kloss’s Racy Native American Runway Outfit

Yeah, so that Native American headdress Karlie Kloss wore with a fringed leather bikini at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show? That was a bad idea.

Victoria’s Secret showcased the look at the taping of its annual fashion extravaganza mere days after Gwen Stefani and No Doubt were forced to pull their new music video because Stefani was wearing…sexy Native American garb.

Justin Bieber & Toned Tushies: It’s the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show must go on. Despite a devastating hurricane and a snowy noreaster, the Angels took the runway last night at the 69th Regiment Armory. It was such a feat, the New York Post even put the show on its cover. Headline? “Sandy Now Snow & Ice..God Hates Us!…But We Have an Angel.”
