The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (VSFS) is airing on December 2.

Models will grace the catwalk in jaw-dropping lingerie looks paired with the brand's iconic Angel wings.
Though the show has increased in popularity over the years, there are many things even dedicated fans might not know about its production.
Tyra, Heidi, Gisele, Candice, Alessandra — these are just a few of the now-iconic names to have graced the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Along with turning supermodels into household names, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has become the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season for fashion lovers.

Behind the glitz and glamour of it all, however, are a few secrets even the most loyal viewers might not know.

The 2016 VSFS that was held in Paris reportedly cost the brand a whopping $26.4 million to produce, according to the New York Post. This year's show reportedly cost considerably less, weighing in at $12 million, according to Vogue. All those Swarovski crystals really do add up, I guess.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show started off as a much smaller production. Held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, the 1995 show marked the start of a cultural phenomenon. The 1995 show featured supermodels Beverly Peele, Stephanie Seymour, and Frederique van der Wal.
