While models stomped down the runway in Paris clad in nothing but Sonia Rykiel's new lingerie for H&M, America's even more star-studded underwear parade -- Victoria's Secret's fashion show taped in New York November 19 -- aired in the US. Highlights and backstage footage is now live on YouTube.

While models stomped down the runway in Paris clad in nothing but Sonia Rykiel's new lingerie for H&M, America's even more star-studded underwear parade - Victoria's Secret's fashion show taped in New York November 19 - aired in the US. Highlights and backstage footage is now live on YouTube.

German supermodel Heidi Klum - who was expected to take a pass this year due to her recent childbirth - appeared on the lingerie label's runway alongside models half her age.

While hip hoppers The Black Eyed Peas performed live in the middle of the V-shaped runway, fellow 'Angels,' including Alessandra Ambrosio (who also just recently had a baby), Miranda Kerr, and the just 19-year-old Chanel Iman, who appeared in the show for the first time, all strutted their stuff on allegedly the world's most lucrative catwalk.

Other newcomers included high-fashion top models Anja Rubik and Liu Wen, the first Asian to ever walk the label's runway.

The 19-year-old Kylie Bisutti was announced as the winner of Victoria's Secret's open model call during the broadcast and walked the runway right after hearing the news.

The show was styled in five different themes, including the seemingly Lady Gaga-inspired 'Star Trooper' and 'All Aboard' as well as 'Pink Planet' (the brand's signature color), 'Enchanted Forest,' and 'Romantic Journey.' Rumors that the models would be re-enact George Michael's iconic Freedom video, however, turned out to be false.
