Victoria's Secret supermodel Adriana Lima wore a diamond bra worth $2 million to the Victoria's Secret store in New York City's Soho neighborhood on October 20. She modeled the Bombshell Fantasy bra, which is 142 carats, with 60 of those carats being white diamonds, alongside sapphire 82 carats of topaz. The bra is made of 3,000 brilliant cut white diamonds and set in 18k white gold.
Lima was joined by supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, Chanel Iman, Lily Aldridge, and other Victoria's Secret Angels.
She is set to wear the bra created by Italian jewelry designer Damiani in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Christmas catalogue. The fashion show will appear on November 30th on CBS.
Each year, Victoria's Secret chooses a jewelry company to create its annual million-dollar bra plus Fantasy Bra right before Christmas and puts it on one of their leading models. VS models Heidi Klum and Marissa Miller have both worn it.
It took six Damiani jewelers over 1,500 hours to create the bra. They wanted to create a starry sky and constellations scene in their design.
"It's really a work of art. I love diamonds—[they're] always a girl's best friend," Brazilian model Lima said.
The other diamond Lima loves? The diamond engagement ring she received from basketball star Marko Jaric back in 2008. The Minnesota Timberwolves player dated the supermodel for nine months before he proposed to her on her 27th birthday.
The two were married in a private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Valentine's Day in February 2009. Soon she was pregnant and they had their first child, Valentina Lima Jaric, on November 15, 2009. Now Lima's back and looks like bra-wearing days are better than ever!
