The Angels, as Victoria's Secret top models are known, have taken Paris - and their Instagram accounts - by storm since flying into the City of Light on Nov 27.

Led by Alessandra Ambrosio, the troupe posed for photos outside the Eiffel Tower last Tuesday morning as gobsmacked tourists stopped to take in the incredible views, which included the monument.

Josephine Skriver, Adriana Lima, Lily Donaldson, Hosk, Lily Aldridge and Tookes wore assorted Angels T-shirts and skinny, figure-hugging black jeans.

But the fun continued online, with Lima posting a from-behind shot of her and Martha Hunt wearing thigh-high boots during the show's preparations.

Mere mortals may use a face mask ahead of a glamorous night out - but these are Angels, and terrestrial rules don't apply.

Trending online were photos of some of the models using 24-karat gold sheet masks to prepare for the 2016 show.
