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.

1. Women don't wear war bonnets.
2. They are a culturally/religiously significant item that had to be earned.
3. There is a HUGE problem with Native women being assaulted and raped. They are statistically one of the highest groups of victims, and there is SHIT done about it. Things like this and those bullshit "sexy Indian!!!!!!" costumes are just furthering the notion that we exist solely to fulfill some fantasy/we're just property and not actual people.
