This Year's Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra Is Finally Here

Nov 3 2014 - 2:01pm

The good news: Victoria's Secret just announced there will be not one but two Dream Angels Fantasy Bras in its 2014 fashion show, both of which cost less than last year's $10 million showstopper. The bad news: The Pascal Mouawad creations — which contain rubies, diamonds, and sapphires all strung together with 18K gold — are still $2 million each, again putting it way out of our price range. (But judging from our editor fashion confessions [1], these babies wouldn't exactly fare well in our underwear drawers anyway).

Still, they're pretty to look at and VS couldn't have picked two models more fit to wear 'em: Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, both of whom have some experience rocking Fantasy Bras [2] in shows past. Scroll through to take a look at this year's designs, then keep on going to see how they stack up against their sparkly ancestors.

What makes the bras so costly? Only the fact that they contain 16,000 gems and 18-karat-gold-strung body pieces. (Fancy.)
