Who Are The 2015 Victoria's Secret Angels? Their Revealing Super Bowl Commercial Needs a Cheatsheet
The 2015 Victoria's Secret Angels are on a serious mission to make sure no one forgets them on Valentine's Day this year. For the first time since 2008, the lingerie brand is getting some airtime at Super Bowl XLIX and it's 30 seconds of the game that you will not want to miss. Earlier in Jan., the Angels traded in the undergarments for padding in a sexy online-exclusive video of them playing their very own football game, reminding the guys to "not drop the ball" on Valentine's Day. But their Valentine's campaign will get even steamier when the all-new television commercial airs after the fourth quarter two-minute warning of the Feb. 1 Super Bowl telecast.
Since the campaign is during at one of the most crucial points of the game, it’s bound to score even more viewers than any other break — including half time. Angel veterans Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Karlie Kloss and Lily Aldridge will all appear in Sunday’s commercial — and if you don’t know who they are now’s your chance. This is your cheat sheet for getting to know each of 2015’s Victoria Secret Angels before their ad run on Super Bowl Sunday.
Alessandra Ambrosio
The 33-year-old Alessandra Ambrosio might be my favorite Angel. She told Ocean Drive Magazine she is far too busy to waste time being jealous. Already one of the most recognizable Supermodels out there, Alessandra looks to the other Angels for inspiration rather than fighting them for the spotlight.
Behati Prinsloo
Behati might be one of the youngest Angels — since she was barely at the legal drinking age when she started — but she’s one of the standouts due to the fact that she’s hitched to the Sexiest Man Alive. Back in the day, Adam Levine told PEOPLE Magazine that he never saw himself as a marriage type of guy. I guess that changed, eh?
Candice Swanepoel
This South African Beauty was rightfully voted as No. 1 on Maxim Magazine’s “Hot 100 List” in 2014. According to Maxim, the “impossibly leggy, blue-eyed bauty” is one of the world’s most desirable woman and you can see why. She’s one of the world’s top-rated models, and somehow she still finds time to create her own clothing lies to raise money for charity.
Doutzen Kroes
It remains a mystery to me how Doutzen can have two children and still look this good. The Dutch 30-year-old came in second to Gisele Bundchen in Forbes’ “Highest-Paid Models of 2014” list, which is impressive considering her fellow Angel has won every year since 2002. Unfortunately Doutzen won’t be in Sunday’s ad, but she definitely threw one of those spirals in the football video.
Karlie Kloss
Finally an American Supermodel! Karlie’s only 22, but her runway walk is as powerful if not more-so than any vet Angel out there. Karlie is living proof that a 6’1” girl from St. Louis, can strut her stuff right up there with the best of them. Living both the dream and the self-discovery struggle of any other East-Coast 20-something, Karlie just bought her first home in New York City — which she told Vogue was an amazing opportunity to learn who she is.
Lily Aldridge
Lily also snagged a spot on Maxim’s “Hot 100 List” last year. Aside from her appearance in the VS Fashion Show, which is one of the highest-anticipated shows all year, she also appeared in recent campaigns for Sports Illustrated and campaigns for Levi and J.Crew. No wonder she’s got all eyes on her.
Lindsay Ellingson
It doesn’t look like Lindsay made the cut for the Super Bowl XLIX commercial, but don’t count her out for 2015. According to Victoria’s Secret, the California girl is still very much an Angel for the new year. Lindsay is one of the Angels we can all relate to because even though she’s traveled all over the world, she says home will always be her number one spot.
