Candice Swanepoel is the Victoria's Secret Angel who has been picked to wear the Royal Fantasy Bra! She has been walking the runway for Victoria's Secret for three years now and this year appears to be her biggest year yet! Not only is this a huge honor but she will forever get to say, "Hey, I have worn $10 million worth of apparel at one time before!" That's right the bra and matching belt created by Mouawad, are worth $10 million.
Why is it worth $10 million? Well between the bra and belt there are 42,000 gems that include yellow and blue sapphires, rubies and diamonds, with a huge 52-carat pear-shaped ruby that hangs from the center of the bra, and the setting for all these gems is 18-carat gold.
According to Swanepoel, the designers had to make a mold of her body before creating the jewel-encrusted lingerie to ensure a perfect fit, she advised People Magazine.
"I've never worn anything this pricey, and we have to put gloves on when we put it on. It’s kind of a big ordeal," she adds.
"The bra comes with two bodyguards and we have to handle it with a lot of care!"
Candice Swanepoel is following in the footsteps of many of her Angel friends who have had the pleasure of wearing the Royal Fantasy Bra in years past like Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, Adrianna Lima, and Miranda Kerr, just to name a few!
The Victoria Secret Fashion Show is going to air Tuesday, December 10, at 10/9pm Central time on CBS! Are you going to be watching?
