Victoria's Secret-Style Angel Wings Photoshoot

Ever wanted to feel like a Victoria’s Secret Angel, just once? You don’t need to walk a runway or look like a show model. All it takes is a pair of big white wings on your back and your own styling.
An angel wings photoshoot is a women’s photoshoot in commercial glamour style, where one prop plays the lead: angel wings. I shoot angel wings sessions in Warsaw, from 700 PLN for 10 retouched photos. The wings are mine, at no extra cost.
How much do Victoria’s Secret wings weigh? From about 2.3 kg to about 23 kg. The heaviest, about 23 kg, were worn by Bella Hadid at the 2025 show, by her own account; before that, Alessandra Ambrosio’s 2011 wings, about 18 kg, were considered the heaviest. The wings at my session weigh about 3 kg. Sources and more pairs in the table below.
What is an angel wings photoshoot like?
It’s closer to a lingerie campaign than to a fairy tale: a light background, clean light, white and pastels. I don’t do “fallen angel” versions or dark costumes; this session stays bright from start to finish.
- Before the session we talk about the photos you’d like, and I put together a moodboard, a set of reference photos. I match poses and light to the idea, so every session looks a little different.
- On set you put the wings on like a backpack: they have shoulder straps. I tell you how to stand, and every so often we look at the photos together and make adjustments.
- After the session you get retouched photos. I publish them only with your consent.
What angel wings do I use?
The wings are about 150 cm tall, white and made of light foam (isolon) cut into the shape of feathers. They aren’t real feathers: the foam holds its shape and doesn’t shed. They weigh about 3 kg. That height works for both shorter and taller people. They’re styled after the classic Angel wings, like the white feather wings Kylie Jenner wore at the 2026 show (Yahoo).
How much do Victoria’s Secret wings weigh?
Victoria’s Secret doesn’t publish official figures, but from what the Angels have said and what the press has reported, the show wings weigh from about 2.3 kg to about 23 kg. Details in the table:
| Wings | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Madison Beer, 2025 show, replacement pair | approx. 2.3 kg (5 lb) | People via AOL |
| Wings at my session | approx. 3 kg | |
| Earlier Victoria’s Secret designs | approx. 7–8 kg (15–18 lb) | Outlook Luxe |
| Madison Beer, 2025 show, first pair | approx. 11 kg (25 lb) | People via AOL |
| Alessandra Ambrosio, 2011 show, considered the heaviest | approx. 18 kg (40 lb) | FashionUnited, DNAinfo |
| Bella Hadid, 2025 show | approx. 23 kg (50 lb, her words) | AOL |
At the session you carry nothing like that: the wings weigh about as much as Madison Beer’s lighter pair.
Which Victoria’s Secret wings were the heaviest?
The heaviest known wings weighed about 23 kg: that’s how much Bella Hadid’s wings from the 2025 show weighed, by her account. Before that, Alessandra Ambrosio’s 2011 wings were considered the heaviest: about 18 kg and over 105,000 Swarovski crystals.
Wings are the signature of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and the models who wear them are called Angels. The 2025 show took place on 15 October in New York (Wikipedia), and the 2026 show took place on 18 October at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City (E!). With it, the show returned to Los Angeles after 19 years (Wikipedia).
What to wear with angel wings?
White wings go best with a white bodysuit or lingerie in white, pink, powder pink or beige. Lingerie is closest to the Victoria’s Secret show look, but it isn’t required. You bring your own outfits, and how many we fit in depends on the package: from 1–2 in Session 10 to 4 in Session 40.

Lace and nipple covers. Nipples can show through thin lace. If you don’t want that, buy nipple covers before the session: they cost a few zloty. Retouching them out from under fine lace is very tedious work and isn’t part of the standard package, so covers are the simpler and cheaper option.
If you’re looking for a more sensual session, where the body plays the lead rather than a prop, see the boudoir session.
How much does an angel wings photoshoot cost?
From 700 PLN for 10 retouched photos, the same as the women’s photoshoot. You don’t pay extra for the wings.
| Package | Price | Retouched photos | Time | Outfits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session 10 | 700 PLN | 10 | approx. 80 minutes of shooting (2 h booking) | 1–2 |
| Session 20 | 1200 PLN | 20 | approx. 80 minutes of shooting (2 h booking) | 1–3 |
| Session 40 | 2000 PLN | 40 | approx. 140 minutes of shooting (3 h booking) | up to 4 |
On top of the package price:
- the studio you pay per the studio’s price list, 1:1, with no markup from me,
- makeup and hair are optional: I can recommend a makeup artist I work with, and you settle with her directly.
Angel wings photoshoot FAQ
Are the wings heavy and uncomfortable?
No. They’re made of light foam and go on with shoulder straps, like a backpack. They weigh about 3 kg, several times less than the heaviest Victoria’s Secret show wings.
Can I bring my own wings?
Yes. If you have your own photoshoot wings, bring them. If not, feel free to pose in mine, at no extra cost.
Do I need to know how to pose?
No. Relax, on set I tell you how to stand, and every so often we look at the photos together and make adjustments. I match poses to the session idea we agree on beforehand.
Will the photos end up online?
No, unless you agree to it. Other questions (how long the session takes, bringing someone along, booking) are answered in the women’s photoshoot FAQ.
