Backstage, 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: PHOTOS Of Models & Performers
Before the fashion show started on Nov. 7, the Victoria's Secret Angels sat in their pink robes for hair and make-up to complete the transformation from supermodels to Angels.
Enstarz was behind-the-scenes and spoke to the models about what they were most looking forward to in the show. Hint: some admitted to having "Bieber Fever," addressing Justin Bieber who performed two songs that night.
Another singer who took the stage on Wednesday was Rihanna, who belted out two songs from her new album "Unapologetic." She sang "Diamonds" and "Fresh Off the Runway." Taking a piece of the PINK action, Rihanna performed one of her numbers in a pink bra and bottom that was layered with a sheer lace pink slip. She matched the outfit with pink ankle boots.

Models that took to the runway at the Lexington Armory in New York City included Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.
Lima returned to the catwalk only two months after giving birth to her daughter Sienna. She spoke about her vigorous exercise routine to get back in shape before the big day.
"It is really intense, it's not really the amount of time you spend working out, it's the intensity," the 31-year-old told The Telegraph about getting in shape. "I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily."
Ambrosio wore this year's $2.5 million Floral Fantasy bra in the show's Angels in Bloom section.
This year's bra was created by London Jewelers of New York. Unlike years before, the bra came with a belt and a diamond-encrusted perfume bottle cover. The bra featured two detachable flower pins, and a drop centerpiece that has a 20-carat white diamond, a 12-carat white diamond and a 21-carat pear-shaped ruby. All three items in the Fantasy set together rank up a total of $3 million, according to a London Jewelers spokesperson.
It took over 150 hours to make the handset bra and it has 186 carats of stones in it, all handpicked. The set included amethysts, tsavorite, sapphires, rubies, and white, pink and yellow diamonds, all set in 18 carat rose or yellow gold.
Kerr dazzled also on the runway but had a slight wardrobe malfunction, according to reports. She wore last year's $2.5 million bra only a few months after giving birth to her first child with Orlando Bloom, Flynn.
