In August, Victoria's Secret named the 62 angels who would present the iconic lingerie label's new lingerie creations in Shanghai. But there were a lot of surprises and challenges afterwards: top model Gigi Hadid and singer Katy Perry unexpectedly canceled their participation, while some models from Russia and Ukraine were not granted visas to enter China. The number of models taking part in the show ultimately shrank to 54. Nevertheless, the lingerie event took place successfully on November 20th in the Mercedes-Benz Arena. In addition to the Angels' regular formation, there were also 13 newcomers. Which top models made their debut on the catwalk and which returned to the ranks? We'll tell you the names.
