World’s
Most Expensive Bras
You may have heard recently that Victoria’s Secret has recently been
displaying the world’s most expensive bra. It’s not true. In fact, there are
several bras that we know of that were more expensive than that one, all
products of Victoria’s Secret.
Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra
$5 million
Modeled by Brazil’s Adriana Lima, the bra features 3,575 black diamonds,
117 certified one-carat white round diamonds and thirty-four rubies. The bra
was designed to maximize the wearer’s cleavage, an effect furthered by the two
50-carat black diamonds dangling from the center. The bra was created by
celebrity jeweler Martin Katz and cost just over $5 million to make.
Heavenly 70s Fantasy Bra
$10 million
The honor doesn’t even belong to this bra modeled by Tyra Banks in 2004.
Featuring 2,900 diamonds set in 10kt white gold, this Victoria’s Secret
offering had a centerpiece of its own—a flawless 70-carat pear-shaped diamond.
The bra was designed by jeweler Mouawad.
Star of Victoria Fantasy Bra
$10 million
This bra, made with 1,150 ruby roses and 1,600 emerald leaves, was
created by Mouawad in 2002. It took over 370 hours of work to make and featured
the 60-carat Mouawad Mondera diamond.
Very Sexy Fantasy Bra
$11 million
Another 370-hour Mouawad creation, the Very Sexy Fantasy bra was
designed in 2003. It trumped the Star of Victoria with its 70-carat Mouawad
Excelsior diamond. A replica of this bra, along with one of the Star of
Victoria, was created by Mouawad for the Gemological Institute of America in
Carlsbad.
Heavenly Star Bra
$12.5 million
Studded with 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires, this bra features a
90-carat emerald cut diamond as its centerpiece. That diamond alone, in fact,
is worth $10.6 million. For an additional $750,000, one could even purchase a
pair of matching briefs.
Red Hot Fantasy Bra and Panties
$15 million
The world’s most expensive underwear was made with 1,300 precious stones,
including 300 carats of Thai rubies, on red satin. The appearance of the set
was kept secret until the grand opening of Manhattan’s new Victoria’s Secret
store on Broadway and 67th Street. It was then modeled by Victoria’s Secret’s
own Gisele Bundchen.
