This year marks the 20th anniversary of the world’s sexiest catwalk: the Victoria’s Secret fashion show! And with babein duo Kendall and Gigi confirmed to walk, 10 new angels taking part and a stellar musical lineup confirmed including Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and The Weeknd it looks like this year won’t disappoint.
Aside from the glitzy wings and runway glamour, the most talked about part of the show is always the grand, diamond encrusted Fantasy Bra. Acting as the glitzy annual centrepiece to the event, the Fantasy Bra has been worn by the likes of Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum and ranges in price from $1 million to a whopping $15 million – talk about luxe!
This year’s bra – dubbed the ‘Fireworks Fantasy Bra’ – will be worn by mega babe Lily Aldridge. Designed by Victoria’s Secret traditional jeweler Mouawad, the bra took 685 hours to create and is adorned with over 6,500 diamonds and gems weighing over 375 carats. Inspired by fireworks, the bra and blue knickers feature a design to look like sparks created out of pink quartz, sapphire and topaz to name a few. And the cost of this year’s spectacular bra? A staggering $2 million (around £1,300,000) To put things into perspective, Stylight calculated all the other ways you could spend a cool two million dollars…
Want to channel your inner Victoria’s Secret angel? Two million could take you a long way… 28,000 waxes (that’s one a month for over 2,000 years!), it’d also get you almost nine thousand spa days, a hell of a lot of lip gloss, hundreds of thousands of angel inspired fancy dress party wings, 139 years of personal training and over 400,000 selfie sticks to capture your makeover on.
As the show has moved back to New York from London this year, why not spend the cash on eight return private jet flights from the Big Smoke to the Big Apple. And what about some champagne for the ride? The cost of the bra is equivalent to 191 Olympic sized swimming pools of Dom Perignon!
Since the bra is inspired by fireworks we even calculated that the value would get you 519,970 firework rockets and costs the same as lighting up London on 5 November! And ultimately, the cost of the Fantasy Bra is the same as 26,000 regular Victoria’s Secret lingerie sets – that’s a new set of underwear everyday for 71 years!
