EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Final Auditions for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
ET was exclusively behind the scenes during the final auditions for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris this year, and we found out just what it takes for a young model to make it on the runway in the annual event.

No word yet on whether veteran Angels Behati Prinsloo and Candace Swanepoel are joining the show after recently having babies, but model Lily Donaldson had nothing but encouraging words for the beautiful moms.
