Victoria's Secret Apologizes for Native American Headdress in Fashion Show

Victoria's Secret apologized Tuesday for putting a Native American-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show. The outfit was considered a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.

The company said it was sorry to have upset anyone and that it wouldn't include the outfit in the broadcast of the Victoria's Secret fashion show or in any marketing materials.

"We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone," the company said in a statement.

Model Karlie Kloss, who sported the headdress in the fashion show, took to Twitter to apologize for her outfit. "I am deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone," she tweeted. "I support VS's decision to remove the outfit from the broadcast."

She walked the runway in a floor-length featured headdress with leopard-print underwear and high heels.

Thousands of people expressed their opinions of the outfit on the Victoria's Secret Facebook page. Some praised the attire as artistic while others showed appreciation to Victoria's Secret for putting a halt to the clothing's marketing.

Similar incidents have happened earlier this year. The band No Doubt removed its music video "Looking Hot" from YouTube after facing criticism about their use of headdresses in clothing and parties. They also offered apologies.

The fashion show, which was taped on Nov. 7, will air Dec. 4 on CBS.
