As we speak, robe-clad veterans and newbies alike are transforming into Victoria's Secret Angels. This process—though glamorous in theory—began around noon, even though the show starts at 7 p.m. ET. Pale pink curtains and makeup mirrors lined the walls backstage, creating an aesthetically-pleasing backdrop for blowouts aplenty. (Oh, and makeup by Pat McGrath.)
