The bling-bling brassiere, which weighs in at a whopping 142 carats, including 60 carats of white diamonds, and 82 carats of topazes and sapphires, was designed in collaboration with Italian jeweler Damiani.
It took six craftsmen 1,500 hours of work to complete. As well as her dazzling public display of the sparkling work of art, the Brazilian supermodel will don the bra again for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing November 30 on CBS.
Well, here’s a sight you don’t see every day — though I’m sure any red-blooded male would be quite appreciative if they did! Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima debuted the brand new 2010 Fantasy Bombshell bra in Manhattan Wednesday, posing outside the Victoria’s Secret SoHo store in a custom-made frock designed to show off the diamond-encrusted $2 million bra in its fully glory.
Seeing Lima’s fab, toned figure, it’s hard to believe the 29-year-old had a baby girl, Valentina, less than a year ago with her hubby, former NBA basketballer Marko Jaric. Lima credits her little girl with giving her a new outlook on life, saying, “Being a mom is the greatest thing that could happen to me now. Now I know what unconditional love is. I feel like a new person. More confident, more patient, more open to people.”
Lima also says motherhood makes her feel sexier than ever. “I feel at peace with myself — I can’t explain. Sexiness is all about attitude. Sexiness for me is all about embracing yourself, embracing who you really are.”
And even though you and I will likely never ever get near the one-of-a-kind Fantasy Bombshell bra — let alone try it on! — it’s good to know that the ridiculously expensive bra is comfortable. Lima shared with NBC New York, “Everything is right in place … It’s perfect. I like a push-up bra.”
