Justin Bieber Fulfills a Lifelong Dream at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Tis the season for scantily clad beauties to hit the Big Apple and prance around during previously-tapedperformances by the year's most exciting pop stars. The annualVictoria's Secret fashion showwas held in New York on Wednesday, drawing some big names to soundtrack the event. "It is a dream come true," Justin Bieber told reporters on thepinkcarpet before he took the stage. "I mean I would rather be here than anywhere in the world." We think a lot of others would have to agree! Along with The Bieb, Rihanna gave the hired help lessons in how to rock the catwalk while Bruno Mars didnotfalter in the presence of some towering beauties.

We have a feeling this engagement was conveniently left off the calendar Justin shares with Selena.

While the models were wearing next to nothing, Bieber bundled up in his white galactic gear.

Slowing things down, and proving that there's always room for an acoustic set #withDanKanter.

And he's back�with a throwback to thelean back?

Thankfully Vicky's noticed Bieber'sgrowing interestin American politics and decorated their stage accordingly.

We have to applaud Bruno for not being afraid to stand next to such statuesque examples of femininity.

And for not being afraid to wear afedoraat such a highly photographed event.

Why hire models when Rihanna is willing to work double-time?

Those pearl-rimmed Dr. Evil glasses help her to know which one of you front-row inhabitants aren't paying attention.

They are also a nice compliment to her gold-plated microphone.

Where's RiRi?

No need to hand out free lingerie samples, Vicky's. Rihanna has her own.

She already gets along swimmingly with the team.

Spotted: Rihanna trading nipple-slip strategy with a bevy of beauties backstage.

Not only are they beautiful, but Victoria's Secret models also give the best hugs. Life isn't fair.

RiRi might have missed the memo about looking "hot and detached."

But that's why we love her.

Models need to take necessary precautions to keep grabby hands at bay.

Which is hard when many of the models are wearing a bullseye.

And are illuminated by bright lights.

Just because New York was in the middle of a Nor'easter doesn't mean we can't be thinking about the beach.

How the supermodel sausage gets made (hint: it's probably best if you're already naturally beautiful).

Let's go to the beach, beach.

How does one fit massive floral wings through building security?

The DJ must be playing their song.

And now for the beauty pageant/Monopoly Man impersonation portion of the evening...

Followed by some questionable Native American appropriation. (No Doubt got here first, VS.)

But don't worry, witches and goblins! You're also an inspiration.

Bieber is adog person, but this feline makes him stop dead in his tracks.

NASA has assured us that the next generation of spacesuits will have the appropriate cut-outs.

Considering how long it probably takes to strap yourself into that contraption, we'd be pouting, too.

A nod to the dark and stormy weather of late.

As Rihanna says, go on and take a bow.
