While it’s certainly an honor for a model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, it’s an even bigger honor to become an official Angel.
The designs on the Victoria’s Secret runway have evolved from classic lingerie styles to more elaborate high-fashion concepts – and the Angels have changed quite a bit, too.
Huge stars like Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks have been a part of the Angel lineup in the past, while last year marked an end of an era as Adriana Lima ended her reign as the longest-running Angel in the show’s history.
