Angels have descended on the Palais-Royal in Paris, and so the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show festivities have officially begun. Although the show won’t air until December 5th, models are backstage preparing to film the runway extravaganza this evening. What we know so far: it appears Cara Delevingne did not take up the public offer from Edward Razek, CMO of Victoria’s Secret and executive producer of the show, to return to the runway this year. Also: no Fantasy Bra sightings yet. 

Here, all the hair and makeup happenings as keyed by makeup artist Tom Pecheux and Beachwaver founder, hairstylist Sarah Potempa.
