The glitzy event is credited with driving Victoria's Secret's $6.6 billion in annual sales. The show will air Tuesday, December 9 at 10 p.m. EST on CBS.

While the show will feature 47 girls, a select few Angels are promoted more than others.

The lingerie giant is notoriously meticulous about who it chooses as Angels: top models like Miranda Kerr and Erin Heatherton were booted in the past for allegedly not selling enough lingerie.

Meanwhile, the brand declined to cast bombshell Kate Upton because executives didn't believe she would appeal to female customers.
