Selena Gomez raved that she felt like a true Angel when she performed at the Victoria's Secret fashion show last month.

And the 23-year-old certainly looked the part as she donned a slinky plunging dress to perform two of her songs; Hands To Myself and Me And My Girls during the extravaganza which aired on Tuesday night.

Selena enlisted the help of newly minted and very patriotically-clad Angel Taylor Hill to close-out the performance with a sexy shimmy at the end.

Selena went braless in her plunging black gown, which also featured a revealing centre slit and a diamante choker by Messika Jewellery.
