Since 1996, Victoria’s Secret has made a bra and underwear set out of diamonds and stones and chosen their favorite model-of-the-moment to wear it on the runway at their annual fashion show. Its first incarnation was a paltry $1 million and Claudia Schiffer was given the honor to show off the diamond encrusted piece. In 2013, Candice Swanepoel wore a $10 million lingerie set and last year, the brand made not one, but two costumes with Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima getting to hold hands while covered in blue and red  baubles. So maybe realizing they reached peak excessiveness, this year’s bra is just $2 million and only one Angel got plucked to show it off.

 

Made of 6,500 precious gems by the jeweler Mouawad, the Fireworks Fantasy Bra will be seen on Lily Aldridge. According to Vogue, it took 685 hours of labor to make the demi-shaped bra, which is covered in 14 different kinds of rare rocks including blue topaz, garnet, and yellow sapphire. All of the colorful hardware is set in 18-karat gold and arranged in spark-like bursts to give off a July 4th-feel. The matching underwear is covered in 126 diamonds and 400 more individual pieces of bling. 

This is the first time Aldridge, a longtime Angel and member of Taylor Swift’s Girl Squad, will get to cover herself in such riches. The show, which films on November 10 and will air on on CBS on December 8, will also feature Selena Gomez, Rihanna, and the Weekend as guest performers.
