The hottest show of the year is finally here, and with 55 Victoria's Secret stunners, 88 different looks, and 37 sets of wings hitting the runway in Shanghai, this year’s extravaganza promises to be one of the biggest ever.

Preened, primped and prepping to strap their wings on, the first look at the Angels as they film the Victoria’s Secret show 2017 has emerged.

From Bella Hadid, Karlie Kloss, and VS veterans Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, all the big names are there.

But there are some model-perfect faces who aren’t.

Gigi Hadid made headlines when she was forced to pull out of the show, just 11 days before it was due to take place.

The 22-year-old model took to her Twitter account to reveal that she was “so bummed” she won’t be able to make it to China to walk in the show.

It comes after Chinese people took to the social media site to claim the supermodel wasn’t welcome there after her sister, Bella Hadid, posted a video online where Gigi appeared to be squinting her eyes to look like a Buddha cookie.

The New York Post also claim show organisers have been keeping even more tight-lipped about show details, with staffers suspicious their emails are under surveillance by the Chinese government.

"They want to discuss what's going on as far as replacements for those denied visas and alternative arrangements, but they have to be tight-lipped because it seems that the government is watching their e-mails," a source told NYP’s Page Six.
