Ex-model Adrianne Curry slammed for body-shaming Kylie Jenner whilst calling out her Victoria’s Secret debut
Former model Adrianne Curry was not a fan of Kylie Jenner’s Victoria’s Secret debut, saying she doesn’t have a ‘model’s body’.
The first ever winner of America’s Next Top Model shared her critiques during a livestream on Monday during which she said: “Nothing against Kylie Jenner... you’re not a f---ing model’.
The reality TV star officially gained her wings and stepped out wearing the Fantasy Bra during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show over the weekend wearing the most sought-after garment.
With this year’s design worth an eye-watering $50 million, the Fantasy Bra is usually reserved for veteran VS Angels, with previous wearers including Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks.

The move garnered a mixed reaction but managed to become the most talked about moment of the show.
One person who is not a fan of Jenner walking the runway is Curry, who said: “I don’t know why they put her in the mega bra,” mentioning the diamond-studded garment that costs $50m.. It was created with Jacob & Co and includes 4,410 natural diamonds including a 75.54 carat yellow diamond.
“That’s for the belle of the ball,” she added. “That is for the top Victoria’s Secret Angel, That is like winning homecoming queen and they just give it to Jenner.”
The Fantasy Bra tradition has been a major point of the Victoria’s Secret show since 1996.
“She doesn’t have a model’s body,” she said during the live stream.
Curry called the brand’s decision to give the star-studded garment to Jenner to wear for the show ‘a joke’.
“In 2010, I would say Victoria’s Secret meant something,” she said. “Now it’s meaningless.”
She also lamented previous shows and claimed: “Victoria’s Secret used to make megastars, not rely on virtue signalling and other people’s fame to make it.”
Another Victoria’s Secret fan said selecting Jenner for the coveted part of the show was a wise decision by the brand. “Choosing a legacy Angel would have been safe, predictable, and forgotten in 24 hrs,” they said on Instagram. “Placing Kylie in the $50 million piece broke the internet, drove massive engagement across millions of feeds, and inserted VS back into the core pop-culture conversation.
“It’s ok to dislike someone, but to go after a woman’s body, her looks, to be rude about it like many that have come out of the woodwork … my god, our society is so f****ng broken!!”
Other social media users took issue with Curry’s criticisms of Jenner’s body. Someone else asked: “Why do people have to say mean things? She has a great body and has 2 kids. She was glowing. Be kind and stop the hate.”
Similarly, someone else critiqued the debates around Jenner's body and wrote: "It's all about body positivity until it's Kylie Jenner smh."
Curry’s comments have drawn a mixed reaction, with some social media users agreeing with her. “She’s not wrong,” one X user claimed.
However others feel that the retired model may be envious. “This is just screaming jealously,” wrote one observer.
While some fans called Jenner a ‘marketing genius’ another fan said: “Nothing against Kylie but speaking about her “undeserved” VS model moment. Everyone is mad about it and that’s why she was chosen, she made her debut viral!”
In support of Curry, a viewer claimed: “She’s not wrong. Anyone who has followed VS fashion shows knows this.”
They added: “It needed to go to any of the OG VS models. She is just stating the obvious.”
