Perhaps the quintessential Victoria's Secret Angel, Alessandra Ambrosio made her baby-faced debut on the runway in 2000 and became one of the brand's biggest names in the years since.

Prinsloo told PEOPLE she couldn't wait to get the gang back together: "Yesterday at rehearsal when I saw Doutzen [Kroes] and Adriana [Lima], Alessandra [Ambrosio], Candice [Swanepoel] ... We don't hang out like we used to anymore."

Behati Prinsloo actually had her rookie year in Miami in 2008, but by the 2009 show she'd already earned her Angel wings.

"This is a true reunion," she told PEOPLE of her return to the runway.

Tyra Banks is such a Victoria's Secret OG that her runway debut (in 1996) predates the days of it being a giant international spectacle. They brought her back nearly 30 years later for the announcement that the show would return to TV.

Candice Swanepoel
