Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 highlights

Rihanna rocked the lingerie look, providing the highlight of the live-music soundtrack and holding her own on the catwalk with some of the world's top models.

And those models even had props, including Lima's ringmaster wand, Kroes' body cage and several pairs of the oversized wings that the retailer has made its signature. It would be a close contest who got the biggest wings: Toni Garrn's giant poppy pair or Miranda Kerr's swan-style feathered pouf. Only Aldridge could boast star-spangled wings that shot out silver sparkles.

The fashion show has become a pre-holiday season tradition for the retailer. Music filled the stage, too. Bruno Mars sang "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Young Girls," while Bieber performed "Beauty and the Beat" and "As Long as You Love Me.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012: Backstage

For his first song, "Beauty and the Beat," Bieber, wearing low-slung white pants and a white leather studded vest, sat alone with his guitarist in the mellowest part of the show. For "As Long As You Love Me," however, he brought in backup dancers and interacted with the models while moving around a giant makeshift pinball machine.

"It's like a dream come true," Bieber said before the show. "I would rather be here than anywhere in the world." Shortly after the show's taping, there were reports that Bieber was cozying up with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin.

Victoria's Secret "Fantasy Bra" through the years

This year's star-studded special kicked off with an announcer noting that Victoria's Secret and CBS had each donated to superstorm Sandy relief efforts. The announcement also thanked the National Guard members based out of the Lexington Avenue Armory in Manhattan, where the annual show takes place.

Alessandra Ambrosio donned the jewel-heavy $2.5 million "Fantasy Bra." Created by London Jewelers, it featured amethysts, rubies, sapphires and diamonds, including a 20-carat white diamond in the center.

Matthew 11:27-29..........

27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
