The sexiest event of the holidays – The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – kicked off last night in New York. Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy and Neon Jungle performed as some of the most beautiful women in the world glided down the runway in spectacular creations. Unfortunately, we can’t watch our favorite angels strut their stuff until Dec. 10 on CBS, but there are tons of alluring photos to tide us over while we anxiously wait. 

Naturally, winter themes dominated the catwalk. The models put us in the holiday spirit with festive sparkly lingerie. Ironically, Karlie Kloss brings the heat in an icy, shimmering mesh bodysuit. Doutzen Kroes looks warm and toasty in her fur-accented get-up, while Taylor Swift belts out a song behind her, and Lily Aldridge makes the prettiest snowflake in a white, lacy number.

The models also donned feathers and transformed into striking bird-like goddesses. Adriana Lima is red-hot in her devilish ensemble, and Alessandra Ambrosio and Hilary Rhoda channel their inner peacocks.

The PINK section of the show brought the usual dose of fun and whimsy, with bright colors and balloons. Sara Sampaio's outfit cleverly incorporated emojis, and Elsa Hosk carried a giant smiley face on her back.

Of course, the night wouldn't be complete without those iconic, extavagant angel wings. Adriana Lima and Behati Prinsloo commanded the runway, looking positively divine. And, Candice Swanepoel amazes in the $10 million Fantasy Bra!
