Lingerie maker Victoria's Secret unveils its ultimate
Christmas present - a custom made bra valued at
$2.5 million adorned with 5200 precious
gems.
Last week it was leaked that Brazilian super
Alessandra Ambrosio would be the heavenly body to
model Victoria's Secret's jewel-encrusted lingerie at
this year's upcoming catwalk extravaganza, and now
we can see what the multi-million dollar set looks
like.
Each year, a chosen Angel dons a one-off, custom-
made 'Fantasy Bra' to close the much-publicised
show. Last year the honour was given to Miranda
Kerr, but this time Ambrosio will take up the gauntlet
just seven months after the birth of her second child,
a son named Noah.
The $2.5m (£1.55m) bra, unveiled in New York, has
5200 precious gems on it, including a 20 carat
diamond and huge ruby.
Named the 'Floral Fantasy' set, the bra and matching
belt have been created by Long Island's London
Jewelers.
"It's so unique you know it's this piece of art that you
get to wear and it has over 5000 precious gems so
you just have all these diamonds around and you
have this 20 carat diamond right here. It feels
amazing to wear," Ms Ambrosio said.
The bra will be modelled by Ms Ambrosio at the
Victoria's Secret show on December 4.
