The 69th Regiment Armory at the Lexington Avenue in New York City became the world’s headquarters of global beauties on November 7th, during the taping of the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Against all weather obstacles, the sequels of hurricane Sandy and a snow storm, some of the world’s most recognized top models took the spotlight during the annual lingerie event, which is now the most watched event of its kind in the world.

Two shows were scheduled for thisw year, the first at 4 pm and the second one at 8 pm. The press had the opportunity to share with the VS Angels during a special photo-op at 1 pm which included them getting ready with hair and make-up.

The show, which lasted a little over an hour in both instances, included performances by Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber. Six concepts were designed for this year, which were Circus, Calendar Girls, Dangerous Liaisons, Pink is Me, Silver Screen Goddesses and Bloom.
