Miss Victoria's Secret

The Miss Victoria's Secret pageant was founded by Lori Greeley in 2005 as a bit to recruit new Angels and to boost revenue for the company. It features contestants from all around the world and since then, it is watched yearly by over eighty-five million people and become one of the "tri-pageants", along with Miss USA and Miss Universe.

Competition
The modern pageant consists of a preliminary competition held a week before the pageant when all contestants are judged in swimsuit, gown, and interview competitions. From this, semifinalists are chosen, and they are announced during the live broadcast of the final competition. These semifinalists then compete in swimsuit and evening gown, and the finalists are chosen. These finalists then proceed to the final question portion of the competition. The runners-up and winner are announced at the end of the telecast. Since 2006, different panels of judges have officiated the finals and the Preliminary competition.
