The Best VS Fashion Show Selfie Shots

A lot of beautiful things happen at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. The gorgeous models, the Beachwaved curls, reality-defying costumes — it's a spectacle that's recorded minute to minute for people to live like they're there. But this year, there's an unexpected upside to cameras meta-capturing photos of the models taking photos: some excellent expression-based content, a.k.a. models whipping out their best selfie faces.

While most of us can only guess what it'd be like to be on the receiving end of someone Snapping their Angel transformation, the models also have their own content to create, and the resulting selfie shots make for some of the low-key best Victoria's Secret fashion show moments. No shade to the selfiers, of course — who wouldn't record the Angel look from top to bottom? Gotta have a few Tinder defaults saved up for later.

So sure, you could get a masterclass in beachy waves, bombshell VS makeup, and fantasy loungewear. Or — no effort required — take a lesson from the models giving their best selfie expressions. Smiling, sultry, laughing with a bra made of diamonds. These are women at the top of their game. Behold, the many instances of "selfie goals" captured behind the scenes at the VS Fashion Show taping. Prepare to take notes.
