Victoria's Secret Angels are the most visible members of the modeling team and are the spokespersons for Victoria's Secret. The Angels debuted in 1999 on the 4th annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Maria Inés Rivero, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Rebecca Romijn, and Tyra Banks are among the "Angels" used in the original promotion. The 'Angels' are chosen, "By having clearly spectacular physical gifts, and… also great energy, great personality. To be an 'Angel' and to be a supermodel for Victoria's Secret, you have to appeal to women, not to men.", as stated by Edward Razek on VH1 Victoria's Secret Uncovered 2004. In May 2007, the Victoria's Secret Angels which includes Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Izabel Goulart and Karolina Kurkova were chosen to be part of People Magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful People in the World. The 'Angels' are among the world's highest paid models with its multi-million dollar a year contract.
