If there is one brand that is synonymous with the word “sexy” it’s Victoria’s Secret. And if you want to wear the sexiest Halloween costume that you can find or create, then it really doesn’t get much better than this DIY Victoria’s Secret Angel Halloween Costume. With just a few simple items, it will look like you just stepped off the Victoria’s Secret fashion show runway. Giant wings and all.
Creating A DIY Victoria’s Secret Angel Halloween Costume With Items From Amazon
This DIY Halloween costume isn’t about replicating the look of a specific Victoria’s Secret model like Sara Sampaio, Jasmine Tookes or even OG Angels like Adriana Lima or Alessandra Ambrosio (though you’re welcome to change up a few details like wig colors and styles in order to take on and pay homage to your absolute favorite Angel). Instead, this costume relies on affordable pieces from Amazon to get the VS Angel “look” — that incredibly glamorous combination of big hair, glowing skin, lacy lingerie, and angelic wings that have come to define the modern Victoria’s Secret Angel.
And becoming an Angel is easier than you think — here’s everything you need to complete this look for Halloween.
Everything You Need For A Victoria’s Secret Angel Halloween Costume
1. A Sexy Lingerie Set
TopMelon Bustier Corset ($8-18)
Your very first step when planning your Victoria’s Secret Angel Halloween costume is — what else? — lingerie. And here comes the tricky part: finding sexy lingerie that will drum home the fact that you are a VS Angel, but that isn’t so risqué it will get you booted out of that party. And if you can avoid spending $100 on lacy things, that would be preferable.
This white bustier corset with garter belt is the perfect lingerie piece for this costume for a variety of reasons. For starters, it costs less than $20. It’s sheer in certain areas, but it keeps your breasts totally concealed and provides both tummy control, a waist cincher, and a supportive boost in the bust area. You can also choose which type of underwear you feel you’d like to pair with this corset — if you aren’t up for wearing a thong, you don’t have to: substitute it with full-coverage white panties. The garter belt is adjustable (and garters are a key component of the classic VS Angel attire).
Finally, the white shade is an angelic one you’ll almost always see on the Victoria’s Secret runway at some point during its iconic yearly shows.
2. A Silky, Hot Pink Kimono
Vogue Forefront Kimono Bathrobe ($7-14)
The Victoria’s Secret Angels sport different lingerie on the runway, but they all share one wardrobe item in common backstage: a silky pink kimono that they wear as a cover-up while getting their makeup and hair done. This kimono comes in a variety of sizes and can be used throughout the night if you want to take off your wings and throw something on for warmth and comfort.
If you’re feeling particularly creative, grab a set of adhesive white or gold letters (the fancier the font, the better) and spell out “Victoria’s Secret Angel” on the back of your robe.
3. Big, Voluminous Hair

With very few exceptions, the Victoria’s Secret Angels have some version of the same long, cascading, slightly wavy hair. You can choose brunette, blonde, or red — depending on your preference — but the shinier, healthier, and more voluminous, the better.
4. Self-Tanning Lotion
Beauty By Earth Tanning Lotion ($25)
It’s totally possible to be a Victoria’s Secret beauty with any skin tone. But, let’s be honest: if you are on the paler side, a glowing shade will immediately out you as an Angel. However, risk UV damage from sun exposure or tanning booths are not the way to go. This organic self-tanning lotion is one of the best on the market. In addition to providing a totally natural-looking tan that is buildable and not at all orange, it’s filled with healthy, moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, argan oil, and green tea.
5. Angel Wings

There’s just one rule when it comes to adding the finishing touch on your Victoria’s Secret Halloween costume: white angel wings — the bigger, the better. These wings are made from Turkish feathers and attach comfortably over your shoulders so you can wear them all night. Don’t forget to sashay down a makeshift runway (or hallway) like the Angel you are.
