    Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn and Lily Donaldson rocked the catwalk at the annual Victoria's Secret show

    British models Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn and Lily Donaldson rocked the catwalk at the annual Victoria's Secret show.

    The Angels did Blighty proud as they strutted their stuff at the ultra-glam and highly-anticipated lingerie show held at the Lexington Avenue Armory, in New York.

    While Lily Donaldson, 24, has walked in the Victoria's Secret show for several years now, so-hot-right-now models Cara Delevingne, 18, and Jourdan Dunn, 22, made their debut at the event.

    Being somewhat of a Victoria's Secret veteran, Lily had the most extravagent outifts to wear, walking the runway in a gorgeous mint lace lingerie set and later in jewel-encrusted knickers teamed with a dramatic silk cape.

    Jourdan went all space age in a monochrome leather jumpsuit and metallic bra, while Cara managed to distract teeny bopper Justin Bieber from his performance in a cutesy striped, flared, mini skirt and matching crop top.

    Last night's annual show went down a storm with the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio (who had the honour of wearing the $2.5million Fantasy Bra), Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima, who had given birth just two months earlier, all pulling out the stops for a spectacular event.

    Rihanna, Bieber and Bruno Mars all performed on the night, while Alexa Chung, Vanessa Hudgens and Jessica Szohr sat front row.

    What a night.
