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.
