Who Are the Top Victoria Secret Angels
Victoria Secret Angels are the brand's primary runway models and faces of its lingerie and fragrance lines. The program began in the 1990s and has featured models from around the world. Some of the most prominent names include Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel.
Career Highlights of the Most Recognized Angels
Adriana Lima was the longest-running Angel, appearing in shows and campaigns for over two decades. Alessandra Ambrosio became known for her long-running contracts and global campaigns. Candice Swanepoel gained attention for her work in high-profile runway shows and international advertising. Many former Angels later moved into fashion design, business, and media careers.
How the Angel Program Has Changed
In recent years, Victoria Secret reduced its traditional runway shows and shifted its marketing strategy. The brand now works with a smaller group of contracted models and focuses more on digital campaigns and collaborations. The role of an Angel remains a high-profile modeling position, often leading to opportunities in luxury fashion and beauty.
