Campbell made her first appearance in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 1996, the year the event was affectionately referred to as the “Super Bowl for Super Models” due to the impressive list of legends who hit the catwalk in their skivvies. Nine years later, Campbell was the only one of her fellow supes still working the VS runway—and holding her own, thank you very much.

Now she’s a mother of two and a card-carrying member of Taylor Swift’s squad, but back when King was known as James, she was an Angel—a fact that shocked many of her Instagram followers.

The transition from model to actress is not always a smooth one, but Romijn has pulled hers off so well, it’s hard to remember that she flaunted her sexy, athletic physique for the brand multiple times during the mid-to-late 1990s, before the runway show was broadcast for the public.

Dutch beauty Mulder is known for having graced the cover of Vogue numerous times, but the supe also holds the distinct honor of being one of the first Victoria’s Secret models to ever wear Angel wings. The dramatic feathers premiered in the 1998 show; iconic status ensued.

The year before she famously chopped off two feet of her waist-length blonde hair for Vogue, Hume landed a spot in the 1999 Victoria’s Secret extravaganza, which was viewable online for the first time (and subsequently crashed the Internet).
