Today, Victoria's Secret Angels are among some of the world's most well-recognized, and highest-paid, models.
Some of these models, like Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel, have been with the company for over a decade. Others earned their Angel wings more recently. Currently, the brand has 16 active Angels, not including Adriana Lima, who parted ways with Victoria's Secret in 2018.
However, the future of the Victoria's Secret Angels — and the brand's fashion show — is unclear in 2019. On Friday, L Brands CEO Les Wexner told employees in a memo obtained by Business Insider that the brand is rethinking its televised event. CNBC was the first to report the news.
While it's not certain what the fashion show will look like this year, or even if it will be held at all, look back at what the Victoria's Secret Angels wore during their first show for the brand below.

Adriana Lima wore two different looks when she made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut in 1999.
In the lingerie brand's 1999 show, the model first stepped out in a white bodysuit with a ruffled polka-dot trim. She then showed off a floral-print bra with a matching sarong-style miniskirt.
Lima, who became an Angel in 2000, reportedly walked in her 19th, and last, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year. She was photographed looking tearful on the runway when the show was filmed in New York City on November 8.
The model also thanked the lingerie brand and fans in a heartfelt Instagram post ahead of the show.
Behati Prinsloo sported a green bra and red plaid shorts when she joined the show in 2007.
Her cozy runway look in the 2007 show also included red leg warmers, red mittens, and an olive-green jacket.
After a three-year hiatus, Prinsloo returned to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year. The model, who earned her Angel wings in 2009, previously walked in the show for nine consecutive years.
Candice Swanepoel was also cast for the first time in 2007.
Swanepoel's debut look featured a blue bra and underwear set, a cropped, light-blue puffer coat, and leg warmers made of the same material.
The model earned her Angel wings in 2010 and has walked in 11 shows for Victoria's Secret.
