The $6.5 million Hearts on Fire Diamond Fantasy Bra, weighing 800 carats, is "very sexy and very comfortable, and it doesn't dig in," coos model Karolina Kurkova, who says the design is significantly improved over the 2002 version, which she also modeled. "Back then, I had a person come in and mold my breasts into a bra made of metal and diamonds," she says. This year, more than 2,000 round diamonds are embroidered onto the undergarment, which has a 10-carat diamond brooch centerpiece.
Relaxed fit aside, Kurkova is amused that no one has actually purchased the bra. The current version appears in the 2006 Victoria's Secret Christmas Dreams and Fantasies catalog, which arrives in mailboxes next week. "If someone ever does, I would really like to meet them."
2006: It set Hearts on Fire. Literally. The 2006 Fantasy Bra was worth $6.5 million and was studded with more than 2,000 Hearts on Fire diamonds with a 10-carat diamond brooch centerpiece. Czech model, and a former Victoria's Secret Angel, KarolĂna Kurková graced the outfit this year.
annual Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra has a new twist this year: It's relatively comfy, according to the woman wearing it.
