Taylor Swift's model pal Karlie Kloss had to decline the chance to walk the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris, citing a "work obligation".

Kloss was rumored to be among the Angels jetting off to France for the city's first fashion show, but she won't be there when the big show is taped on 30 November (16).

Karlie has explained all in an Instagram post under a throwback photo of herself and her model pals at the 2013 show, writing: "There is truly no show quite like the VS Fashion Show, and there is no feeling quite like walking on that magnificent runway."

Bella Hadid will make her debut as a Victoria's Secret Angel at this year's lingerie show, where her ex-boyfriend The Weeknd will be among the performers.

Hadid will join sister Gigi and models Kendall Jenner, Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls, Alessandra Ambrosio, Sara Sampaio, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Romee Strijd, Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Hill, Martha Hunt, Stella Maxwell, and Lais Ribeiro on the catwalk in Paris.
