It is that time of the year again, after hundreds of top fashion models from around the world have gone through the audition and casting process for the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Unfortunately for most of these top fashion models, only a few have come out with angel wings for the famous Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
The Victoria’s Secret legendary Angels take to the runway for the 2018 Victoria’s Secret fashion show (also known as the Victoria’s Secret holiday special), showcasing an all star lineup of musical guests, including Bebe Rexha, The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Leela James, Rita Ora, Shawn Mendes, and The Struts. Merging fashion, fantasy, and entertainment, the Victoria’s Secret fashion show is considered to be the world’s most famous fashion show, and is expected to be seen this year in more than 190 countries and territories.
The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is the world’s biggest fashion event, and will be returning to New York City this year after recent productions in London, Paris, and Shanghai China. The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is a year long production, and 2018 promises to be the most ambitious yet according to Victoria’s Secret executive producer Ed Razek. This year, Victoria’s Secret has more musical guests, more fashion, and more beautiful stories than ever before, and of course, approximately 60 of the world’s top fashion models.
Most of the official Victoria’s Secret Angels will be walking at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show: Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk, Sara Sampaio, Lais Ribeiro, Josephine Skriver, Stella Maxwell, Jasmine Tookes, Taylor Hill, Romee Strijd, and Martha Hunt. The only major Victoria’s Secret models that will not be present are Victoria’s Secret Angels Lily Aldridge since she is expecting her second child, and Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, who confirmed last year that she would be hanging up her wings after 12 years of walking for the Victoria’s Secret brand.
Joining Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo (back after a three year hiatus), Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Josephine Skriver, Lais Ribeiro, Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell, and Taylor Hill will be internationally known sisters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid, as well as world famous fashion model Kendall Jenner.
Only one show on television brings together the biggest names in music and the top fashion models from around the globe for an exciting hour of entertainment, beautiful fashion, and style. This year, Victoria’s Secret (the #1 lingerie brand in the world in terms of global sales and market share) added about 18 new models to the Victoria’s Secret lineup. Some Victoria’s Secret models who took a hiatus for a few years will be making a comeback, while regulars like Devon Windsor, Kelly Gale, Georgia Fowler, and Leomie Anderson will also be present at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show this year.
Below is the official Victoria’s Secret model list for the 2018 Victoria’s Secret fashion show:
1. Kendall Jenner (United States) with model earnings for the year of $22 million dollars.
The 23 year old supermodel (born in Los Angeles, California) has over 98 million Instagram followers, more than double any other model on the list. Kendall Jenner has turned digital fame into millions of dollars, advertising for cosmetics giant Estée Lauder, lingerie brand La Perla and sneaker maker Adidas, among other world class fashion brands. Non-modeling money from her family’s E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, social media endorsements, and her Kendall + Kylie clothing line added to her total earnings.
2. Gigi Hadid (United States) with model earnings for the year of $9.5 million dollars.
Thanks to her 38 million Instagram followers, the 23 year old fashion model (born in Los Angeles, California) can command top dollars from brands eager to reach her young fans. A selling point herself, Gigi Hadid has her own collections with makeup giant Maybelline, Vogue eyewear, and Tommy Hilfiger. With her sister Bella Hadid, the Hadid sisters are the first siblings to both be included on the lists of the highest paid models in the world (the world’s highest paid models).
Budapest, Hungary native Barbara Palvin was discovered at age 12 while running errands with her mother in a nearby village. She received her first break in 2010 walking as an exclusive for Prada in Milan, and since then has walked for designers such as Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Nina Ricci. Barbara captured the attention of Karl Lagerfeld after being cast in a Chanel Haute Couture show in Saint-Tropez. Lagerfeld subsequently booked her for multiple advertising campaigns for Chanel’s cosmetics and fragrance collections.
In less than two seasons on the international fashion circuit, Barbara famously walked her first Victoria’s Secret runway show and signed on as a global beauty ambassador for L’Oréal Paris. Barbara has also fronted campaigns for Armani Acqua di Gioia, Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria, A.P.C., H&M and Uniqlo.
Photographers including Steven Meisel, Terry Richardson, Mert & Marcus, Sebastian Kim, Alasdair McLellan, Giampaolo Sgura, Cuneyt Akeroglu, David Bellemere, Sølve Sundsbø, Gilles Bensimon and Angelo Pennetta have photographed Barbara for W Magazine, V Magazine, CR Fashion Book, i-D, Wonderland, Lui, Maxim, Sports Illustrated, and Antidote and global editions of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, Glamour, Numéro and Elle.
On top of modeling, Barbara has started to explore acting and is involved with design for her family shoe business, Palvini.
Off-duty, Barbara is an avid reader (her favorite author is Leslie L. Lawrence) and loves the outdoors. She also co-founded the geo-location app, We Save Us, which provides emergency alerts for disaster relief.
If you are a baseball fan, Josie Marie Canseco might sound familiar to you, and that is because she is the daughter of Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco. Josie Canseco, the 22 year old daughter of baseball player Jose Canseco has been confirmed to walk in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show this year, and according to Josie, it is the realization of a lifetime dream after previously auditioning for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in previous years with no success.
32. Karlie Kloss (United States) with model earnings for the year of $9 million dollars.
At just 26, the St. Louis native (Karlie Kloss was born in Chicago, Illinois) has been on the cover of Vogue’s various editions 36 times.

Thankfully, Nigerian fashion model Mayowa Nicholas had a second chance and successfully walked in the 2018 Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York City.

Supermodel Diaries: Who Is Romee Strijd?
Dutch model Romee Strijd insists she has the “typical” discovery story, but her career is anything but ordinary. She was first scouted while shopping with her mother in Amsterdam, but the shy, young model turned down the opportunity. Years later, her interest in modeling grew and she reached out to the agent, effectively kicking her course into high speed.
The Holland-born mannequin quickly made a name for herself, booking high-profile shows like Louis Vuitton and Prada in her first fashion week season. To date, she has walked for Moschino, Fendi, Chanel, Balmain, Lanvin, Dolce & Gabanna, Alexander Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Isabel Marant, Celine and Saint Laurent to name only a handful. She has also appeared in advertising campaigns for Victoria’s Secret, Marchesa, Alexander McQueen and Donna Karan among others.
Perhaps most notably, Romee was chosen as a newcomer to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2014. The following year, she was instated as a VS Angel alongside Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel.
Romee has sat for seminal photographers Inez and Vinoodh and Mario Testino, and is well-known for her perpetual, infectious smile. She has modeled in editorials for British, German, Spanish, Dutch and Japanese Vogue. In 2016, Romee appeared on the cover of Vogue España with fellow VS Angels and most recently was shot by Jan Welters for her solo cover of Dutch Vogue. Currently, she is the face of MICHAEL Michael Kors, starring in the latest campaign alongside Taylor Hill.
Supermodel Diaries: Who Is Karlie Kloss?

Outside of modeling, Karlie is the founder of Kode With Klossy, a nonprofit focused on creating learning experiences and opportunities for young women that increase their confidence and inspire them to pursue their passions in a technology driven world. Now in its fifth year, the organization hosts free two-week summer coding camps where girls aged 13 to 18 learn the fundamentals of programming. By the end of camp, scholars build their own app or website using programming languages including HTML, Javascript and Swift. By providing scholarships to nearly 1,000 young women this summer, Kode With Klossy will have reached nearly 2,400 women through its flagship summer camps since launching in 2015.

Famous American Singer Taylor Swift returned to Saturday Night Live on October 5, 2019 as the musical guest alongside host, Fleabag actress/writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Taylor Swift last appeared on Saturday Night Live back in 2017, before she released her sixth album, “Reputation”. Taylor Swift’s return to Saturday Night Live had us at ZARZAR MODELS reminiscing on her other appearances on this extremely famous network television show, including her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in 2009, when Taylor Swift still had her beautiful curly hair and was making music headlines about calling out her ex-boyfriends by name in her top selling songs.
Saturday Night Live (known simply as SNL) is an American late-night live television show that premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975 under the original title NBC’s Saturday Night. The show’s comedy sketches, which often parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each Saturday Night Live episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast. Saturday Night Live also features performances by a musical guest (Taylor Swift was the musical guest in these beautiful music videos). A Saturday Night Live episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”, properly beginning the show.

How To Become A Hollywood Script Reader For Actresses | How To Earn Money As A Hollywood Script Reader.
Above: How To Become A Hollywood Script Reader For Actresses | How To Earn Extra Money As A Hollywood Script Reader.
What does a Hollywood script reader do? How much money do script readers make per script? How can working actresses get a job as a script reader? Is script reading for working actresses in Hollywood really a dream job?
Reading and critiquing screenplays for a living sounds like a dream job to most screenwriters and working actresses — but you’d be surprised about the realities behind taking on such a job in the television and movie industry.
A typical entertainment industry executive or talent agent is bombarded with television and movie scripts on a daily basis. The amount of reading material is often staggering and simply too much for a single person to get through within a reasonable period of time.
Often television and movie scripts that are submitted are under extremely tight deadlines, and if the entertainment industry executives or talent agents have a number of other projects under similar duress, chances are these executives will likely be spread too thin with their script reading responsibilities. Thus the need for script readers.
What Is A Screenplay?
A screenplay is a written work for a film or television show that expresses the movement, actions, and dialogue of characters portrayed by actors and actresses.
Screenplays, or scripts, are the blueprint for a movie or television show. A screenplay is written in a specific format to distinguish between characters, action lines, and dialogue.
Why Actresses & Fashion Models Would Want To Be Script Readers
The fantasy for many working actresses and fashion models is pretty simple — they imagine getting paid good money to sit at home reading movie and television scripts and telling their entertainment industry bosses how amazing or terrible those movie and television scripts were and which television and movie scripts they liked the most. Then, taking their wild imagination even further, these working actresses and fashion models start to imagine that their incredible insights will get the attention of those television and movie producers, development executives, or talent agents — enough for them to either hire them to write the final screenplay, hire them to become a development executive, or give them their dream job as a television and movie producer.
Unfortunately, all of that is a fantasy for the most part, because while being a script reader is an amazing stepping stone for any screenwriter, television and movie producer, or development executive in the entertainment industry, it’s not as simple and straightforward as it seems if you do not have the proper television and movie industry connections.
Writing Script Coverage – Huh? What Is Script Coverage For Actresses?
Being a script reader is perhaps one of the most important, yet overlooked professions in the movie and television industry. A script reader is not just someone who reads submitted scripts by amateur and professional writers, but is also someone who provides a summary as well as a brief analysis of whether or not the submitted script is something worth considering for production.
Script coverage usually consists of a one to three page summary of the script or screenplay from start to finish which highlights all characters as well as any important story points. In addition, there is a one to two page analysis by the script readers which states what they thought of the script or screenplay, whether or not the script follows the guidelines of the people or company they’re reading it for, and whether the script is a project they would recommend an executive or talent agent to consider for television or movie production.
Why Should A Working Actress Or Fashion Model Want To Become A Script Reader?
The reason as to why a working actress or experienced fashion model might want to become a script reader is simple — it’s the best screenwriting education she will ever receive. Remember that when we discuss how much money — or how little money — a script reader might get paid for reading scripts.
The educational aspect is the true treasure why a working actress might want to become a script reader for a major movie studio or talent agency. An actress can quickly become a master of screenwriting structure, format, dialogue, prose, and theory — all from learning from the writing mistakes and the writing achievements of other screenwriters.
Script reading by experienced actresses allows them to learn as much as possible about the expectations of the film and television industry, which is key for actresses that would like to advance their own acting careers (and also their screenwriting careers if they would eventually like to follow that career path in the entertainment industry).
So we generally like to tell working actresses that want to read television and movie scripts on the side (when they are not working as actresses) to forget about those fairy tale fantasies where they see themselves rising up the corporate ladder after their bosses see how brilliant they truly are at reading and discovering amazing scripts. It’s just coverage, my dear, and while many of Hollywood’s elite started off as script readers, that probably should not be the best reason why you may want to become a script reader.
The main reason why an actress might want to become a script reader should be because she will learn about how the movie and television industry works simply by constantly reading scripts, even scripts that are so badly written and so awful that their first reaction might be to say “this script sucks,” to put it bluntly.
How Much Money Do Script Readers Get Paid At The Major Movie Studios, Talent Agencies, & Production Companies?
This is where it gets interesting — and extremely depressing for some actresses and writers that would like to read scripts in order to enhance their income and standard of living. Most script readers start as interns, and as you may or may not already know, many interns don’t get paid.
Many script readers are freelance writers and paid a script reading fee of anywhere from $50 to $500 per script (all figures are in United States dollars) depending on the movie studio or talent agency doing the hiring. Furthermore, reading movie and television scripts is a particularly great entertainment industry job for writers, actresses, or anyone looking to get into either movie or television development.
So basically, if you are just starting out your entertainment industry career as a television and movie script reader (specially if you are an intern), you may not even be making any money (or any meaningful amount of money). If you are lucky enough to be an assistant at a movie studio, talent agency, or production company, script reading may be already included into your hourly or salary pay for that specific job position. So not only will you have to answer phone calls, sit at the front desk while looking pretty and friendly to welcome visitors, grab lunch, coffee, doughnuts, and a dozen other perhaps unfulfilling duties, you also have to read television scripts, movie scripts, and write coverage.
How Much Money Do Script Readers Earn & Really Get Paid?
If you are a freelance script reader, you might be lucky enough to make approximately $50 per television or movie script that you read at home. However, most freelancers when not working for free to prove their worth as script readers, may start reading television or movie scripts for as little as $25 dollars. Yes, that wasn’t a typo, but hopefully as your reputation hopefully grows, your script reading fees could potentially grow as well over time.
“Thus, on average script readers can expect to get paid approximately $50 per script, but the range can be as wide as $25 per script to $500 per script.” – ZARZAR MODELS
Reading movie and television scripts is also becoming more and more popular with working actresses because it can help them to pay for their expenses (rent, utilities, acting classes, etc.) while they wait for their next big acting job. Since many movie studio or talent agency executive are sometimes overwhelmed by the extremely large number of submitted movie and television scripts for them to review, script readers become an essential part of the development process in movie and television production. Basically, instead of having to read an entire screenplay (novel, stage play, etc.), the movie or talent agency executive simply has to read what a script reader said about a given script and then decide whether or not it’s worth reviewing in-depth.
If you are a working actress you might realize that finding a job as a script reader is not that hard; it’s finding steady script reading work that can be a little more difficult. That said, reading television and movie scripts is a great way to meet movie studio executives, talent agency executives, and talent agents at a wide variety of companies in Hollywood so that you become a lot better prepared to take your next career step in the extremely competitive entertainment industry.
