WINGING IT

This is the difference between a Victoria’s Secret model and an Angel… and it’s nothing to do with the wings

You may have noticed Bella Hadid was wearing the infamous wings in this year's show, but she's NOT one of the 14 Angels

THIS is the difference between a Victoria's Secret model and an Angel - and it's nothing to do with the wings.

Gigi's little sister Bella Hadid may have stolen the show in yesterday's annual catwalk show, but the 21-year-old is yet to earn her Angel stripes from the lingerie company.

- so what exactly sets them apart?

It all comes down to contracts. Only the Angels have signed contracts, whereas the other 47 models are drafted in for the infamous fashion show.

There have only been 36 Angels ever, and this contract brings certain obligations which the Angels have a duty to meet.

While Miranda Kerr, who was an Angel for six years up until 2013, previously said the Angel commitment was "three months at bare minimum".

Karlie Kloss also ended her contract to focus on other projects, like her charity coding programme for girls, Kode with Klossy, but still appeared in this year's show as a model.

However, with the commitment comes one big pay cheque - 11 of 2016's top paid models were VS Angels, according to Forbes' latest rich list.

If you wondered where Gigi was in this year's show, here's why she was forced to drop out at the last minute.
