Dazzling on her arrival, blonde beauty Stella flaunted her lengthy pins in a thigh-grazing pair of black denim shorts and studded leather ankle boots.

The fashion star, who first walked for Victoria's Secret in 2014 - before being granted her wings a year later, ensured all eyes were on her as she flaunted her svelte frame, and incredibly toned stomach, in a white crop top that she paired with a leather biker jacket on top.

Sporting a glamorous make-up look, Stella left her blonde tresses down in a central parting and accessorised with a chunky silver chain around her neck.

The Brussels-native was seen clutching onto a huge pair of white feathered angel wings and struck up a series of poses as she commanded the attention of onlookers on the streets of the Big Apple.

Stella was closely followed by veteran Angel Adriana, who has been part of the Victoria's Secret family since 1999 and first walked for the brand at just 18-years-old, was nothing short of a vision in an all-black ensemble.

The 36-year-old cut an edgy figure as she teamed together a form-fitting ribbed bandeau top that she tucked into a grunge leather mini-skirt that boasted zip detailing across the front.

Adriana strutted her way into the headquarters with a pair of military-inspired lace-up boots, that accentuated her slender pins, and toted a vibrantly embroidered handbag over one shoulder.

Her trademark dark tresses were swept over to the side in a slightly tousled style and despite catching the wind on Adriana's arrival, the model still cut a more than slick appearance.

The Brazilian-born beauty emphasised her natural beauty with a minimal make-up look that came complete with a slick of eyeliner and a nude lipstick across her lips.

Unlike her pals, Elsa Hosk, 28, appeared to cut a more demure appearance in NYC, as she arrived to the lingerie brand's top secret fitting in a funky '80s-inspired leopard print denim jacket.

Choosing not to add too much extra height to her 5ft 10in frame, Elsa favoured a designer pair of kitten heels - compared to her usual towering stilettos - to finish off her ensemble.

She was among ten other beauties that were named as new recruits for Victoria's Secret in 2015, two years ago, and had opened the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2016, held in Paris at the Grand Palais.
