Adrianne Curry Slams Kylie Jenner's Victoria's Secret Debut: 'You're Not a Model!'

Adrianne Curry is not impressed with Kylie Jenner's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut, criticizing the reality star's modeling credentials and the lingerie brand's decision to feature her in its Fantasy Bra.

"Nothing against Kylie Jenner … you're not a f------ model," the inaugural America's Next Top Model winner, 44, said during a livestream on Monday, October 19.

Curry's criticism followed Jenner's runway debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, October 18.

Curry was upset that Jenner got one of the night's top runway looks instead of a veteran Victoria's Secret Angel.

"I don't know why they put her in the mega bra," she said. "That's for the belle of the ball. That is for the top Victoria's Secret Angel. That is like winning homecoming queen, and they just give it to Jenner."

The elaborate lingerie piece was created in collaboration with Jacob & Co. and features 4,410 natural diamonds, including a 75.54-carat fancy vivid yellow diamond.

Victoria's Secret described the $50 million creation as a "one-of-a-kind masterpiece," continuing its Fantasy Bra tradition, which dates back to 1996.

Beyond Jenner's casting, Curry questioned whether the annual runway event still carries the same significance it once did.

"In 2010, I would say Victoria's Secret meant something," she said. "Now it's meaningless."

"I could literally pull up missing an arm and a leg, and they'd be like, 'Oh my God, yes, she's perfect.' How did I qualify? 'You're missing limbs.' Oh, so virtuous. There's no skill,'" she said.

Curry called the lingerie brand a "joke," frustrated by how much it has changed from its past identity.

Curry pointed to Adriana Lima's career as an example of the opportunities she believes the company should offer.

"They won't take a chance on new models that they discovered walking in Brazil," she said, referencing Lima's early career. "She wasn't a big influencer. No one knew her."

Lima, 45, returned to the Victoria's Secret runway for her 21st appearance during Sunday's show, demonstrating the brand's continued relationship with its longtime models.

"Victoria's Secret used to make megastars, not rely on virtue signaling and other people's fame to make it," she said.

She further claimed the brand has to "rely on elderly Victoria's Secret models" because "they're clapping Jenner up there" rather than scouting emerging talent.

Jenner celebrated the milestone by sharing photos and videos from the event on Instagram the following day.

The 29-year-old posted close-up images of her diamond-covered runway look alongside backstage footage, including a moment featuring her two children, Stormi, 8, and Aire, 4.

The siblings watched a clip of their mother on the runway, smiling and waving to them as she walked by.

Jenner also had support from her boyfriend, Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, and her mother, Kris Jenner, who attended the Los Angeles event.

The show featured a performance by Tate McRae, who appeared in lingerie, alongside runway appearances by Barbara Palvin, Gigi Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio and more.
