The Angels Had Wings. The Musical Guests Had the Room.

Harper's Bazaar has gone back through the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show archive and picked the twelve musical turns it considers the finest ever staged on that runway. Rihanna's own walk down the catwalk makes the cut, as does Justin Timberlake performing "SexyBack" while the models worked around him. For a show built on lingerie and feathered wings, the ranking is a reminder that the soundtrack was often doing as much of the lifting as the corsetry.
