Before They Were Angels: A Look at the Victoria's Secret Models When They Had Braces and Bowl Cuts
The Victoria's Secret fashion show is airing tonight (on CBS, 10/9C), and it's always a spectacle of physical perfection. We don't know if this will make you feel any better, but we dug up some pictures of some of the well-known Angels, and while--yes, they were obviously adorable--they've also had their share of bad bowl haircuts, gangly limbs, and mom-imposed fashion. But they've all emerged from their cocoons to earn their Angel wings (um, sorry for mixing metaphors there) and we're excited to see the whole extravaganza tonight. Click through to see the Angels back when they were mere mortals.

Alessandra Ambrosio
Being Brazilian, she pretty much grew up wearing bikinis, which is the ultimate training for Victoria's Secret.
