Kanye West & Jay-Z Performance | Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2011

What was supposed to be a night highlighting some of the most gorgeous women on the planet at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York, turned into quite a guy’s affair. Kanye West, Jay-Z and Maroon 5 all took to the stage to perform as the scantily-clad Victoria’s Secret models stalked the catwalk around them. Not to be outdone by the musical impresarios, Miranda Kerr would later emerge in a 2.5 million dollar bra studded in diamonds. This was a particularly emotional moment for West, as he lost his mother just prior to being scheduled to perform at the 2007 event.
