Like the most expensive game of peek-a-boo that’s humanly possible, Victoria’s Secret have finally revealed the wearer of this year’s $2 Million “Fantasy Bra”. So who is the luckiest angel of angels, who’s body will drip with 6,500 precious gems and 375-karats worth of gold? Well, it’s none other than VS-veteran, former Ten cover star and all-round gorgeous human being, Ms Lily Aldridge. Isn’t she a lucky? This year, the Mouawad-made bra has a kind-of Catherine Wheel, firework design, constructed from sprays of coloured gems. And those all important knickers need not feel jealous – they are studded 126 diamonds and 400 other precious stones too. “I can’t believe it’s finally been announced!!!!” Aldridge said on her Instagram. “Thank you so much Victoria’s Secret, Ed Razek and Monica Mitro for this amazing honor!!!! I love you all so much”. Look at all those excited exclamation points! Our words of advice (not that she needs any) would be just to own the night. Like the 4th of July. ‘Cause, Lily, you’re a firework. Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah. As you shoot across the sky-y-y” (stage). Now, Sophia and Garth, how hard would it be for you to smuggle it home?
The Victoria’s Secret 2015 is on in New York on November 10th
