Karlie Kloss Wears Native American Headdress At Victoria's Secret Fashion Show



Model all-star and noted cookie baker Karlie Kloss is no stranger to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway. With her tall, lean figure and flowing hair, she's a natural pick to show off the company's hottest looks -- even if she doesn't officially have those angel wings.

But after scoping out Wednesday night's 2012 show in New York, we're sure that one of Kloss' looks is sure to cause controversy. (A bigger one than her nude pics. And her photoshopped ribs.)

Wearing a leopard print bikini, Kloss did her famous strut down the runway with some pretty hefty accessories: layers of turquoise jewelry and some lucite, fringe-covered heels. But the towering Native American-style headdress on her head is sure to get the most heat. (Have we learned anything from Paul Frank's ill-advised Fashion's Night Out party?)

The maybe-forthcoming Karlie Kontroversy comes at a sensitive time. No Doubt pulled their newest video for "Looking Hot" from YouTube and TV after Gwen Stefani's Native American costume sparked backlash. The band apologized.

I think they are, especially because the headdresses hold such cultural significance and aren't just something used for fashion

That makes sense

for what I've gathered, a lot of those headdresses are only even worn for ceremonies/special circumstances and ONLY then. Them being used for fashion like this is like.......like Kanye West wearing the thorn crown for that cover of Rolling stone.

Meh - let me shut up before I go farther out of my depth

Plus, women don't wear war bonnets which is what she's wearing. But I'm sure the better educated Natives will come in and explain it much better.
