Victoria's Secret tapes its famous fashion show at the 69th Regiment Armory in Manhattan tomorrow.
The show is rumored to have a budget over $12 million. Models will wear circus costumes, complete with snake eyes, and Rihanna and Justin Bieber will perform.
But the Victoria's Secret runway wasn't always the production it is today. When the show started in 1995, there was no fancy lighting and models were just wearing underwear.
The show slowly started getting fancier. In 1998, angel wings appeared on the runway. From there, it was only a matter of time before diamonds and glitter appeared.
We found photos that track how the Victoria's Secret show went from boring to epic.
The first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was in 1995. It took place at the Plaza Hotel. Models stuck to simple lingerie and there was no special lighting.
By 1997, Victoria's Secret started featuring fancier lights in the show. The costumes also started to get more advanced, as seen below, but only for a few of the models.
But the focus was still largely on the lingerie in 1997, and outfits were relatively simple.
