'All of my girls completely rocked it today & it makes me smile thinking about how hard every single person- models, stylists, look designers, the lights, the music, backstage, front stage etc worked to prepare-so many months in advance-such a huge, almost unbelievable production...and now it's finally happening!' she gushed.
However, the Brazilian star has made it known she doesn't want to be in the fashion business 'forever', and she felt it was inevitable she would have to stop modelling for Victoria's Secret later down the line.
Whilst the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is one of the most celebrated A-list events in the calendar, such a reputation doesn't come easy; with a series of images taken backstage at this year's show capturing the immense amount of effort made to get the models looking their best before they step out onto the runway.
Winging it: With her status hinted at by her incredible set of wings, the Brazilian bombshell, 36, wowed in a teal bra and knickers set that offset the layers of multicoloured necklaces and bracelets she donned whilst sashaying down the runway
The Victoria's Secret show has been steeped in controversy this year, amid reports that several models have been denied entry to China where the show is taking place, and angry locals protesting the event.
The 22-year-old model, who was slated to walk the runway with her sister Bella, took to Twitter on Thursday morning to reveal that she would not be traveling to China to do the show, however she failed to explain the reason behind the decision - prompting much speculation that she had been refused a visa.
Backstage: The secret to matching the model's jewellery with their outfits at speed was displayed backstage as it was revealed the jewels were laid out alongside a picture of the outfit it would go with
Executive producer Ed Razek told People that news reports on the show have been 'inaccurate' — but failed to confirm or deny if either Gigi Hadid or Katy Perry had been refused visas to enter the country.
'Getting in the mood for tomorrow's lingerie event of the century, so excited for my outfits and the runway, can't wait for you all to see soon! Let's do this,' she captioned, adding '@victoriassecret' and an exploding emoji before '#vsfashionshow2017'.
Loving life: Despite being without her sister, Gigi for the event - who pulled out of the event last week amid claims she has been banned from entering China - Bella looked in high spirits as she strutted her stuff down the runway
Alessandra, 36, was seen deep in conversation with her make-up artist - perhaps discussing whether or not she will return to the famous fashion show next year, after it was reported earlier this week that she plans to retire after taking to the catwalk to strut her stuff in this year's show.
Oops! While she oozed sex appeal in the two ensembles, her final look proved to be her most daring as it boasted an incredibly low-cut neckline and flashed a peek of her nipples as she happily danced away on stage
Gorgeous: Having earned her wings, Bella, 21, strutted her stuff down the runway in a skimpy black lingerie set that showcased her sensational figure - drawing particular attention to her impeccably toned stomach and ample cleavage

Flaunting their enviable physiques in skimpy lingerie and of course their famed Angel wings, the stunning supermodels were serenaded down the runway with musical entertainment provided by Harry Styles, Miguel, Jane Zhang and Leslie Odom Jr.

'I'm so bummed I won't be able to make it to China this year,' she wrote. 'Love my VS family, and will be with all my girls in spirit!! Can't wait to tune in with everyone to see the beautiful show I know it will be, and already can't wait for next year!'
Sheer delight! It was hard to believe the stunning model is a mother-of-two as she showed off every inch of her tanned and toned physique in another sexy ensemble - a sheer black bodysuit that was teamed with towering thigh high boots
She made the most of her supermodel statistics, drawing attention to her endless legs in a pair of thigh-high gladiator heels. And completing the ensemble as she stormed the runway, Lais wore a pair of dramatic golden-encrusted wings.
For those in the country with a Virtual Private Network - VPN - that can circumvent online spying, the possibility of the Chinese government reading emails and taking action against those it sees as troublemakers is very real.
