The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back and better than ever. The original angels look absolutely fabulous, bringing back that authentic Victoria's Secret look. With big, luxurious wings paired with to-die-for lingerie, this show brought back nostalgia for its earlier 2000s shows.
This year, some fallen angels didn't return for this season’s show, but we still have 10 veteran angels to cover, so buckle up!

This look was a pink crystal and diamond two piece set, a corsetted top and gorgeous matching skirt. Underneath the top she wore the wicked unlined lace balconette bra. She is also wearing the pavé logo chandelier earrings. Her wings were absolutely incredible, being made entirely of floral like fabrics to completely embody a flower. of course she wore a silver metallic shoe, not to draw attention, but to enhance the look.

Last but certainly not least, our tenth angel is Barbara Palvin. She came to the show after giving birth to her daughter with her husband, Dylan Sprouse, and wore two looks this year, devouring both effortlessly. Palvin’s first look was in the Vintage Victoria segment and, unfortunately, didn't feature wings; however, she rocked a runway-exclusive pink slip lingerie dress, with a Vintage Victoria unlined balconette bra and matching bow-back thong panty underneath. For shoes, she completed this simple but authentic look with a closed-toe pink crystal tassel heel.

For her second look during the Winter Melody segment, she wore a runway-exclusive corset and panty set made from pearls, diamonds, and crystals to mimic snow. She also wore feathered, diamond-crusted wings that mimicked snowflakes.
Unfortunately, we missed a good number of angels this year who weren’t invited back to walk in this season's show, like Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum. Hopefully we'll see our fallen angels resurrected in next year's show, wearing bigger, even better wings.
