Here are some high resolution shots of the Victoria's Secret Angels who shot the brand's Valentine's Day Super Bowl ad for airing in February 2015.
For big fans of the Angels I'm sure I don't have to list who the girls are, but for others, they are in no particular order: Lily Aldridge, Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Behati Prinsloo.
Most observers would consider these five girls the top five Angels. Doutzen announced in December 2014 that she was leaving Victoria's Secret, so this presumably was something she contracted to do before then.
Their flags are emblazoned with wings, of course, and their uniforms are red and white. (as in, Cupid's colors!).
Below is the ad. Pretty impressive! It is 82 seconds of Angels goodness!
Behati Prinsloo (born 16 May 1989) is a top Victoria's Secret model from Namibia. She is best known for being the face of the Victoria's Secret sub-brand Pink since 2008, for which she does print work, and has been a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2009.
She has walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show from 2007-15, one of the longest runs in the show's history. She even opened the 2014 and 2015 shows, a major honor. Behati sat out the 2016 show because she was a new mom, but could walk again.

Behati is from Grootfontein, Otjozondjupa, Namibia, but she was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. The family later moved to Namibia.
An Afrikaner, Behati speaks both Afrikaans and English. Storm Model Management founder Sarah Douglas spotted Behati, 16, whilst on holiday in Cape Town.
She signed with the agency and quickly moved to London, England.
She had this to say about where she grew up:
I grew up in Namibia, and you know, it's in the bush. It's not like, forest... it's just bush!
Well, as the song goes... push, push, in the bush!

Lovely ladies at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Behati is well-regarded within the fashion industry. She has represented all sorts of top designers, including Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, Hugo Boss, Gap, and Prada.

Prinsloo married Maroon 5 rocker Adam Levine in Mexico on 19 July 2014.
Behati gave birth to the couple's first child, a daughter named Dusty Rose Levine, on September 21, 2016 in California.
Behati's marriage to Levine has led her to appear in two videos for Maroon 5, "Animals" (2014) and "Cold" (2017). She also appeared in "Rich Girls" by The Virgins in 2009.

Behati Prinsloo remains an African girl at heart, saying once:
One day I'll definitely move to Cape Town, or Namibia, and uh, I don't know what I want to do there but I'm gonna buy places and stuff and then just one day just try live off that, but still travel but live in Africa, I love Africa! My heart's there.
Behati and a couple of other Angels had a one-off appearance on Hawaii Five-0 in December 2012, but there is no indication that she will abandon the modelling world for acting any time soon.
For now, Behati remains at the very peak of high fashion and a top model for Victoria's Secret.
