For nearly two decades, Victoria’s Secret Angels were the pinnacle of modeling fame. Crowned with wings, diamonds, and global campaigns, these women weren’t just models — they were icons.
But after the fall of the VS empire, many of the Angels vanished from the spotlight — or took dramatic turns in life, career, and purpose.
Let’s look at where the most famous Angels are today — and how far they’ve flown from the glittering runway.

👀 Where Did the Brand Go?
- Victoria’s Secret tried to rebrand in 2021 with the “VS Collective”
- The original Angels were replaced with activists and athletes
- But in 2023, the attempt quietly faded and the Angels were missed
🎭 The truth? The brand lost its fantasy — but the women who made it iconic flew even higher.
✨ Final Thought
They were called Angels.
Now, they’re leaders, mothers, founders, and fighters.
Because real wings?
They’re built of courage, not lace.
