2001 This was the first year that Karolina Kurkova was invited to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

2002 An amazing yellow accent trails behind Karolina for the show at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York.

2003 This was a great year for Karolina: Not only did she walk for the VS show, but Karl Lagerfeld also made her the face of Chanel!

2003 Karolina proves that you don't always have to wear wings to look angelic. Here her long, wavy locks paired with some ruffles and thigh highs do the trick.

2005 Though Karolina had been walking for the lingerie giant since 2001, this was the first year she walked as an Angel.

2005 Karolina’s adorable snow bunny outfit was paired with white knee-high boots with fur trim for another turn down the runway.

2005 Karolina makes military wear sexy at the 2005 show, complete with a fake rifle.

2005 No military look would be complete without an embellished fur hat.

2005 Karolina is beautiful in all blue, from her wings to her skivvies.

2006 For this year's show, VS honored Karolina by choosing her to wear the Hearts on Fire bra down the runway. Decorated with almost 2,000 diamonds weighing in at 800 carats and a 10-carat diamond brooch as the centerpiece, the bra is worth $6.5 million!

2006 Karolina revives the bustier with this turn down the runway. We love her sheer over-the-elbow gloves.

2006 Karolina struts in a purple flight attendant outfit. Perhaps this look was inspired by the VS airplane?

2007 Aside from Karolina's tutu turn, a highlight for this year's show included special guest appearances from the cast of How I Met Your Mother.

2007 For this outfit, Karolina donned a train made completely out of feathers.

2007 All that glitters is Karolina!

2007 It took four people to get Karolina into these huge wings for the 2007 show!

2008 Karolina walked with Usher for this show in a hand-dyed draped goddess gown with a leather harness by Fleet Ilya and gold feather accessories by Juliette Meurisse.
