See pictures from its 21-year history.
In 1995, a lingerie company called Victoria's Secret had its first fashion show at the Plaza Hotel in New York. Models wore slinky slips down the runway, accessorized with cardigans and handbags.
Two decades later, 6.6 million people tuned in to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on CBS. This year, it will premiere on December 5 at 10 p.m. EST and the outfits of 2016 are a far cry from what they were 21 years ago. Brightly colored costumes and huge wings now grace the runway, making the beige satin bras of yesteryear look oddly quaint.
