The Victoria's Secret show held last night in New York and it was spectacular

Once again, supermodels donned their wings and strutted their stuff down the most famous runway in the world. Take a look!

The angels flew back in town for the undefinedafter spending two years around the world; namely Paris and Shanghai.

The show is a lavish event with elaborate costumed lingerie, varying music by leading entertainers, and set design depending on the theme of the year. The show attracts a plethora of celebrities and entertainers, with special performers and acts every year.

The show generally features a mix of seasoned Angels, high-profile names and a fortunate batch of newcomers or lesser-known faces. This year regular Angels such as Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Martha Hunt, Stella Maxwell, Lais Ribeiro, Sara Sampaio, Cindy Bruna and Taylor Hill strutted down the runway in addition to newcomers like Duckie Thot, Winnie Harlow and Mayowa Nicholas.

Every year, the Victoria's Secret show brings its famous bejewelled Angels together for what is consistently a glittery catwalk extravaganza. It's the most-watched fashion event of the year with over 800 million people tuning in every single year.

Often less is more when it comes to the VS show, with models typically showcasing little more than lingerie, heels and a pair of wings. There are always 'themes', like 'sexy sportswear' or 'sexy nightwear' or 'sexy pixies' with the lingerie taking centre stage.

Last year, brand collaborated with Balmain on some one-off looks for the show, marking the first time that VS had teamed up with a high-fashion brand to produce pieces that will actually be made for retail. This year, the company collaborated with Mary Katrantzou.

Speaking about the collab, Mary said, "Everything that Victoria’s Secret creates is about a woman feeling confident and empowered, and also having fun with what she is wearing. This collaboration is going to be bold, fun and playful."
