The date's circled on our calendar, the official lineup [1] is in, and the Fantasy Bras [2] have been revealed. And now that we know who'll perform alongside the Angels at the annual Victoria's Secret runway show [3], we've got an even clearer picture of what to expect on Dec. 9.
Yes, Ariana Grande [4], Ed Sheeran, Hozier, and return headliner Taylor Swift [5] will give the VS models something to dance [6] around to when they emerge on the catwalk. And that gives us all the more reason to look forward to the show, which includes six different themes — Dream Girl, Fairy Tale, University of PINK, Angel Ball, Gilded Angels, and Exotic Traveler.
Keep reading to see which models and Angels will return to the runway in the always extravagant lingerie, along with sketches of the pieces they'll be wearing [7]. Oh, and we suggest blasting T-Swift's "Blank Space" [8] while you scroll. Needless to say, we can hardly wait to tune in.
