Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013: Who Wore the $10M Fantasy Bra?
Tonight is the night where angels fly. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show kicked off tonight live at CBS and featured the world's elite models including Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Ariana Lima, Karlie Kloss, Lindsay Ellingson and Lily Aldridge. Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel is one lucky girl as she debuts one of the world's most expensive lingerie, Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra.
The much-anticipated 2013 Fantasy Bra is designed exclusively for the brand's annual event by world-renowned jeweler Mouawad. The glittering Dream Angels Demi Bra with matching belt made its debut on the Victoria's Secret runway by Candice Swanepoel as she pays homage to the brand's heritage.
Royalty is the theme for this year's Fantasy Bra and the lingerie set is adorned with over 4,200 rubies, blue and yellow sapphires and diamonds fashionably made for Royals. The diamond handset is 18-karat gold and the bra's crowning glory is a 52-karat pear-shaped ruby drop centerpiece, all in all the cost of the lingerie is a whooping $10 million.
Candice Swanepoel is a million dollar babe as she awes everyone in the runway wearing the Fantasy Bra with its dazzling belt that accentuated her small waist. The 25-year-old model sauntered confidently as she led other VS angels at the annual fashion show.
Following the footsteps of Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Giselle Bundchen and Heidi Klum, all have the history of wearing the Fantasy Bra; Swanepoel wore the lingerie like a royal as she paired it with white gloves and red velvet heels. I can imagine a sigh of relief later when she is later able to remove the expensive lingerie and replace it with a comfortable but equally stunning lacy ensemble.
