All The Best Pics From the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Jasmine Tookes, Maria Borges, Joan Smalls and a slew of other brown beauties took over Paris, sprinkling Black Girl Magic all over the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's runway. We loved every blur of feathers, legs and natural hair working the brand's signature pieces, completed by Jasmine Tookes donning this year's million dollar bra. The show airs Monday, Dec 5 at 10/9C on CBS.
