Meet the next wave of VS supermodels: Brazilian Emanuela de Paula, South African Candice Swanepoel, British Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Californian Lindsay Ellingson and Atlanta native Chanel Iman.
With the highly anticipated lingerie company's runway presentation, being taped on November 19, perhaps the intimates giant felt the need to restock after three of its top catwalkers -- Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima and Heidi Klum -- got pregnant or had babies this past year.
And while there's no word on weather Lima or Kurkova will make an appearance at this year's show, E! Online reports that 36-year-old Klum will be hosting the event.
Of the fresh faces, we're sure some look vaguely familiar. Aside from Iman, who is a budding supermodel (and not the usual curvaceous VS type), the four others walked in last year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Emanuela de Paula even landed the number 11 spot on Forbes' 'Top Earning Models' list published earlier this year. Much of her reported $2.5M annual earnings were a result of her ongoing work with Victoria's Secret, where she's often posing in the "full coverage" bras.

However, the girls (minus de Paula) star in the new Miraculous Bra ads alongside VS vets Marisa Miller, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes.
Watch the commercial and behind-the-scenes video in which Iman tries to convince viewers that the bra -- designed to boost your bust by two cup sizes -- will totally "change your life." You'll have to try one for yourself to see.
Check back with StyleList for the full story including interviews with the leggy ladies where we'll reveal if any of the fresh five have earned their wings.
And make sure to tune in to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, airing December 1 on CBS, to see the sexy strutters in various states of undress.
In the meantime, read up on the Victoria's Secret "Runway Angel" contest which grants one aspiring model the chance to appear alongside the aforementioned Angels and newbies.

Those models are so skinny it looks like the panties are about to fall right of of them. I'd even rather see panties modeled by a guy like the one in the photos at http://www.sissypantybuns.com/?cat=4 than on women who look anorexic.

Oops! Got the URL wrong in my last comment about the Victoria's Secret models being way, way too skinny. The less common photos and discussion with respect to a less emaciated male modeling full brie panties I was referring too was at http://www.sissypantybuns.com/wordpress/?cat=4 With more photos at http://www.sissypantybuns.com/wordpress/?page_id=56
