The 2017 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is turning out to be a less than heavenly spectacle amid several last-minute changes, including cutting headline performer Katy Perry just days before the event.

Page Six reported that Perry was set to perform at the Nov. 20 show in Shanghai, China, but was suddenly banned indefinitely from the Asian nation after Chinese officials discovered the singer had worn a bright, glittery dress with sunflowers on it in 2015 in Taiwan.

Anti-China protesters had adopted the sunflower as their symbol the year before, according to Page Six, so her outfit was offensive to the communist country. Singer Harry Styles of One Direction fame is expected to replace Perry.

Additionally, four of the lingerie giant's supermodels were denied entry into China just ahead of the show.

Julia Belyakova, Kate Grigorieva and Irina Sharipova from Russia, in addition to Dasha Khlystun from Ukraine, reportedly cannot enter the country due to visa issues, Fashonista first reported.

What's more, model Adriana Lima's visa is allegedly held up due to a "dimplomatic problem," according to Page Six.

Viewers will be able to watch the Victoria’s Secret Angels and other models on the catwalk, and take in several musical performances.

Here’s what you should know about the fashion show, set to take place in Shanghai, China on Nov. 20.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will be shown on Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

“Merging fashion, fantasy and entertainment, the lingerie runway show will include pink carpet interviews, model profiles, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show and musical performances that will be announced at a later date,” a release said.

Though performers have yet to be revealed, it’s safe to expect some big names; Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and The Weeknd all performed at the 2016 show.

Who are the models walking in the show?

Other stars

The show will also include other famous faces.

Supermodel Karlie Kloss posted a photo of herself in wings on Twitter in August, writing, “See you in Shanghai.”

Bella Hadid shared an Instagram post indicating she will be part of the show in August. “Congrats to all of the beautiful ladies I will be walking beside. I can't wait!” Bella wrote on Instagram in an Aug. 26 post.

Her sister, fellow model Gigi Hadid, was expected to be in the show per an August Instagram post. However, Gigi later announced on Twitter that she wouldn't be able to make it. "I’m so bummed I won’t be able to make it to China this year," she wrote. "Love my VS family, and will be with all my girls in spirit!!"

The news comes after Gigi faced accusations in February that she had made fun of Asians in a video, the New York Daily News reports. The model apologized on Weibo in September.

Both Hadid sisters are known for their large social media followings and high-profile relationships: Bella Hadid previously dated singer The Weeknd, while Gigi Hadid is currently dating former One Direction member Zayn Malik.

Model Elsa Hosk will wear a "Crystal Anniversary" Swarovski outfit during the program, Women’s Wear Daily reports, explaining that the show has partnered with Swarovski for 15 years.
