# 1 Miranda Kerr :
Surprisingly, Miranda Kerr was the first Australian model for Victoria’s Secret when she participated in their 2006 campaign. Since then, she's quickly became one of the most globally recognized Angels. Most recently, she was chosen to unveil the $2.5 million Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Treasure Bra at this year’s runway show.
# 2 Candice Swanepoel :
Not only does she look like a winner, but she makes serious bank on top of her trophy appearances. Candice Swanepoel became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2010, and after working several modeling gigs since then, she has been inducted into the top 10 in Forbes's World’s Top-Earning Models list.
# 3 Bar Refaeli :
Regardless of what Leo thinks, we would never take our eyes off Bar Rafaeli. The Israeli beauty has been a welcome addition to Victoria’s Secret world with her impeccable figure, charming smile and mesmerizing eyes. The image of her in that red two-piece in the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Swimsuit catalog already feels damn near iconic just a year later.
# 4 Lily Aldridge :
As the California born-and-bred daughter of English artist Alan Aldridge and Playboy Playmate Laura Lyons, Lily Aldridge’s all-encompassing sex appeal is no wonder. As one of the newest Victoria’s Secret Angels, Aldridge first walked the runway for the lingerie brand in 2009 before getting her wings in 2010.
# 5 Adriana Lima :
The 30-year-old Brazilian supermodel has made a major name for herself as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Since joining the brand in 2000, Lima has been widely regarded as one of the most desirable Angels thanks to her exceptional beauty and the fact that she was a well-known virgin (before her marriage to Marko Jaric). Despite many of her contemporaries moving on from the brand, Lima’s been loyal to the lingerie line for over a decade.
# 6 Doutzen Kroes :
Since joining the brand, the 26-year-old Dutch model has been one of the most essential faces of Victoria’s Secret. After getting her wings in 2008, Kroes first campaign for VS was the appropriately titled “Supermodel Obsession.”
# 7 Behati Prinsloo :
Since 2008, Behati signed with Victoria's Secret to represent the Pink Collection and became a household name with walks in the lingerie giant's fashion shows. Behati is most certainly a model on the rise. Her beauty, equally matched by an effervescent personality, appeals to the whole spectrum of clients from Prada to Victoria's Secret.
# 8 Isabeli Fontana :
Isabeli is part of the "Brazilian model invasion" of the late 1990s and has already scored sexy spreads in serious publications from the Victoria's Secret catalog to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
# 9 Erin Heatherton :
Erin Heatherton is a model who is as comfortable dressing up in evening gowns as she is dressing down in lingerie. Known for her runway work with Victoria's Secret, print ads for D&G and hot shots in the 2009 French Vogue calendar, the tall and shapely newcomer is difficult to miss and almost impossible to not appreciate.
# 10 Lindsay Ellingson :
Though Lindsay has walked runways for major designers like Christian Lacroix, Lanvin, and Oscar de la Renta, she remains a down-to-earth California girl who takes her work seriously. Since 2007, she landed a spot in one of the most infamous of fashion shows: Victoria's Secret, making her second appearance a year later in 2008.
# 11 Gisele Bundchen :
Gisele Bundchen is the highest paid supermodel and one of the hottest. Although Bundchen has been more focused on her high fashion endorsements than her claim to fame, that doesn’t undermine the 31-year-old Brazilian model’s VS legacy at all. Since joining the brand in 2000, she has become one of the most well-known and recognizable Victoria’s Secret Angels.
# 12 Rosie Huntington-Whiteley :
After making her debut for Victoria’s Secret in 2006, the 24 year-old British beauty has captivated the entire world. While her replacement of Megan Fox in Transformers: Dark of the Moon garnered her more media attention than ever, it's her role as the “flirty” Victoria’s Secret Angel that initially earned her a stellar reputation.
# 13 Alessandra Ambrosio :
At this point in her career, Ambrosio is synonymous with the Victoria’s Secret brand. Hailing from Brazil, the 30-year-old veteran supermodel appeared in the VS Fashion for the first time in 2000. She’s continued to make history with the brand by walking the runway in 2005 in lingerie made entirely out of candy and wearing worn the heaviest angel wings ever (30 lbs) in 2011.
# 14 Brooklyn Decker :
Brooklyn Decker’s foray into acting is putting her modeling career on hold, but we haven't forgotten her print work. On top of covering the 2010 issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, the 24 year-old American model has previously modeled lingerie and swimsuits for Victoria’s Secret.
# 15 Izabel Goulart :
Izabel Goulart is the kind of woman who populates male fantasies. That’s because this 5’9” Brazilian knockout has deliciously long limbs that seemingly go on forever. Combine that with her surprisingly curvaceous 32.5-23.5-35 dimensions and it's easy to see why she’s one of Victoria’s Secret’s most promising new models.
# 16 Irina Shayk :
Given how captivating her 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover shot was, it's no wonder Victoria's Secret chose the 25 year-old Russian model as one of its feature swimsuit catalog models. Although she hasn't walked the VS runway, maybe our prayers to the Angels will eventually land Shayk a shot at her own wings.
# 17 Chanel Iman :
The 20 year-old budding American supermodel’s rise to the forefront of Victoria’s Secret happened relatively quickly. After modeling for several high-fashion lines including Yves Saint Laurent and Versace, she was quickly recruited to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway in 2009. Just one year later, Iman became a featured model for the brand’s print and online campaigns and was officially given her wings as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.
# 18 Ana Beatriz Barros :
Ana Beatriz Barros fuels the stereotype that all Brazilian women are supermodel gorgeous. In addition to her history of modeling for designers like Michael Kors and Christian Dior, the 29 year-old Angel has six Victoria's Secret runway shows and a stack of the lingerie brand's catalogs highlighted on her resum.
# 19 Heidi Klum :
Perhaps now best known for her hosting duties on Project Runway and her marriage to Seal, Klum was one of the most active Victoria’s Secret Angels during her decade-long relationship with the brand. Although she formally announced her departure from VS in 2010, many still remember her hosting gigs during the Victoria’s Secret Runway Show and for her willingness to wear any piece of lingerie in front of the camera.
# 20 Marisa Miller :
Marisa Miller is easy to fall in love with. Coming from the beach town of Santa Cruz, California, the 33-year-old is the epitome of the archetypal American supermodel: long blond hair, legs for days, and a year-round sun-kissed tan. It wasn’t until 2007 that Miller made her debut as a Victoria’s Secret model, but she quickly rose to Angel status before departing from the brand in 2010.
