Any guesses?

Bella Hadid revealed how heavy her angel wings were at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. (Hint: It's a lot of pounds for an angel to carry!)

The supermodel walked the VS runway on Thursday, Oct. 16 (Philippine time) in a silver metallic creation complemented with massive white wings.

In a now-expired Instagram story shared by media outlets like PEOPLE Magazine and E! News, she shared a photo of her look and wrote, "OK we're going to pretend these wings weren't 50 pounds, but HOW BEAUTIFUL."

According to E! News, it's not a first for a VS angel to wear heavy wings for the show. Alessandra Ambrosio wore 60-pound wings on the catwalk in 2014, while Barbara Palvin rocked 40-pound wings in 2024.

Hadid's VS Fashion Show appearance came a few weeks after she shared candid photos of herself resting in a hospital bed with IV bags attached. While she didn’t disclose her illness at the time, her mom Yolanda commented "Lyme warrior" in her post with a heart. (Hadid first revealed her Lyme disease diagnosis—an infection that happens "when an infected tick bites a human"—in 2016. In 2023, she announced she was “finally healthy” after a grueling 15-year battle and more than 100 days of treatment.)
