What's her (Victoria's) secret? Angel Sara Sampaio flaunts her incredible figure in a sheer lace and tasseled gown at NYFW party 

She's used to storming down the runway in her lingerie. 

But Sara Sampaio proved she can look equally as chic in formal wear as she slipped into a sheer lace gown for the Harpers Bazaar ICONS party in New York on Friday. 

After walking in the Tommy Hilfiger show that morning, the 25-year-old Victoria's Secret model offered a glimpse at her phenomenal figure at the Fashion Week party.

Adorned with sequinned embellishment, the floor length gown also featured swathes of tassels that framed her lithe physique. 

Conveniently placed to protect her modesty, the star also appeared to be going underwear free, with her only accessories a pair of platform heels and delicate silver earrings.

She finished off the look by injecting some colour with a slick of red lipstick, whilst her glossy locks were swept back into a chic ponytail.

The Portuguese beauty began modelling at the age of 16 and later auditioned for the Victoria's Secret show but was not chosen. 

She managed to make the cut for their 2013 show, and earned her wings the following year. 

Sara also built up her profile after appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and won the Rookie of the year award in 2014.

Despite building a successful career, the Vogue covergirl recently revealed that modeling was never in her master plan.

'Before going to university I didn't know what I wanted to study, all I knew was that I was really good at math, so I decided to do a degree in Advanced Mathematics', she told The EDIT.

'I never planned to use it though. What I really wanted to do was act. I just did a small role in a movie, The Clapper [with Amanda Seyfried]. [Acting] is where I see my future.'
