The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returns tonight. Taking place in New York City for the first time since 2018, the show will be hosted by none other than Tyra Banks, who is coming back after her retirement at the 2005 runway show. 

HOLA! had the opportunity to catch up with the angels backstage as they prepared to walk the runway for the highly anticipated event. "I think it's about every girl, every woman, every body shape, and you know, that's why we're back," Irina Shayk shared about this year's edition of the show.
