"Ever wonder what it&amp;#x27;s like for a supermodel to strut around in her skivvies in front of a television audience of millions? Want to know what she eats and when she works out and just what&amp;#x27;s going through her head when she&amp;#x27;s stomping down that runway? Then you&amp;#x27;re in luck, because we&amp;#x27;re getting some serious face time with Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret model Rosie Huntington Whitley before she hits the catwalk for this Thursday&amp;#x27;s annual VS Fashion Show...get an exclusive look behind the scenes (plus some major model scoop you won&amp;#x27;t find anywhere else!), after the jump. A bunch of the Angels got a visit from the stork this season (Adriana Lima just gave birth this weekend, Heidi Klum a few weeks ago, and Karolina Kurkova a few weeks before that), so this year&amp;#x27;s Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret Fashion Show will be full of new faces. Chanel Iman, Candice Swanpoel, Lindsay Ellingson, Emanuela DePaula, and Rosie Hungtington Whitley (above) are all getting their wings as the newest angels, while the rest of the roster will boast catwalk regulars like Abbey Lee, Anja Rubik, Caroline Winberg, Sessilee Lopez, Behati Prinsloo, and Eniko Mihalik. So just how much preparation does it take to get these genetically blessed beauties runway-ready? Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! There&amp;#x27;s a huge team of designers and stylists and jewelers and seamstresses who pull all of the elements together to make a major production like this one happen. Here&amp;#x27;s Rosie getting into a corset with a seriously blinged-out belt and a pair of wings designed by Jenny Mercian. Jenny (that&amp;#x27;s her above, with Rosie) has been working on the Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret Fashion Show for five years, but this is only her second pair of wings. She does a ton of the show&amp;#x27;s jewelry, custom-made bodices and skirts, and gorgeous trimmings for every look. Then there was the matter of getting Rosie into those wings, which is a bit more of a process than you might expect. There was lots of back and forth about how long they&amp;#x27;d have to change her, if a zipper would make things move more quickly, and how careful she&amp;#x27;d have to be to watch her balance and not knock into anyone else&amp;#x27;s wings. Oh, the perils of being an Angel... While everyone was fussing and poking and pulling and prodding at Rosie, she kept her smile on and barely noticed that there was a room full of Regular People Like Me gawking at her gorgeous bod. I wondered if she ever gets self conscious, or if she&amp;#x27;d been amping up her exercise routine since she was cast in the show. &amp;quot;You know what, I try to change things and get in good shape, but I&amp;#x27;ve been really busy in the lead up to this show,&amp;quot; she admitted to me. &amp;quot;I work out when I&amp;#x27;m not working,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m not a massive gym bunny, but I do make an appearance every once in a while. I have quite a good diet, so I kind of maintain that all year round.&amp;quot; Then I asked Rosie if she gets more attention on the street this time of year, when her image is splashed across millions of television screens. &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m in the windows the moment, and I was walking down Broadway yesterday and I looked up and just saw &amp;#x27;oh my goodness, there&amp;#x27;s me!&amp;#x27; so I just kind of put my head down and walked past. People don&amp;#x27;t really notice me--you kind of blend in. I&amp;#x27;d have to walk down the street in a pair of wings to really get attention, I think.&amp;quot; Finally I had to find out exactly what goes through an Angel&amp;#x27;s head when she&amp;#x27;s walking down the runway. &amp;quot;Absolutely nothing!&amp;quot; Rosie told me. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s just adrenaline, you&amp;#x27;re nervous and excited and thinking,Ii have to look into that camera, engage with the audience, walk slowly, take my time, and just try and enjoy it and take it all in. For a lot of the girls, being a part of the Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret show is one of the biggest things of the year for them, so I think we all just try and soak it all in.&amp;quot; Check out a few of the other impossibly cool costumes I managed to snag photos of at the fitting...stylist Todd Thomas told me they&amp;#x27;ve been working on getting these looks together since April! True story: There will be a &amp;quot;balloon artist&amp;quot; backstage to fix any last minute snags, pops, or blow-ups that happen to this delicate pair of wings or the bodice that goes with it! Jenny Mercian also created this amazing jeweled piece, sewing and gluing and bedazzling every single piece by hand. I asked her if her eyes felt like they were crossing when she got up at the end of the day. &amp;quot;Um, yes!&amp;quot; she told me. We&amp;#x27;ll check in with Rosie again on Thursday afternoon before the show starts, so check back here for more inside scoop!
