A little on the bra:

The $2.5 million Floral Fantasy Bra Gift Set was designed exclusively by London Jewelers and features nearly 5,200 precious gems, including amethysts, sapphires, tsavorite, rubies and white, pink and yellow diamonds, all set in 18-karat rose and yellow gold.

The sparkly, pricey set includes the bra and a matching belt with two removable diamond flower pins and a centerpiece that includes a 12.5-carat diamond and a 20-carat white diamond. The Fantasy Bra will make its way down the runway when the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs Dec. 4 on CBS

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrósio was sitting home breastfeeding her 3-week-old son Noah when the phone rang and she got the surprise of her life.

“I just wanted to scream,” admits the mother of two, recalling the moment she was asked to model the coveted ‘Fantasy Bra’ in the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “But I won’t lie, I was really worried,” she admits.”I was in total mother mode.”

As soon as her doctor gave her the green light to work out, Ambrósio, 31, also mother to daughter Anja, 4, got to work shedding the baby weight. Starting with yoga and walking, the model turned up her routine after 60 days and added daily sessions of pilates and spin for cardio.

And while in L.A. for the summer, the brunette beauty also took advantage of the great outdoors. “I was playing a lot of volleyball on the beach, swimming and running after my kids. And breastfeeding always helps,” she says with a laugh.

But keeping healthy during her pregnancy was key; she stuck to fresh green juices, kale salads and fish, a diet she’s continued with the occasional splurge of pizza or ice cream. “My daughter loves cupcakes so we’ll share … but only sometimes!”

There’s less than one month to go until she hits the VS runway donning the $2.5 million Floral Fantasy gift set, which includes a Very Sexy push-up bra handset with amethysts, sapphires, rubies and diamonds (plus a removable 20-carat white diamond in the center), and the matching belt, adorned with more than 5,200 precious gems.

“It was perfect for me,” Ambrósio says of the set, designed by Long Island’s London Jewelers (who did last year’s bra, modeled by Miranda Kerr). “I felt they made it for me. It’s very romantic.”

And now that she feels so ready for the big day, nerves aren’t even an issue. “I’m pretty calm,” she says. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.” Don’t miss Ambrósio on the runway at the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing Dec. 4 on CBS.

Old stuff but news to me.

Sadly, the fate of this bra is all but sealed. Rather than going on to live a long life as a dazzling brassiere, it will most likely go to the scrap yard. No one has ever purchased the Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Bra, the company said. Past bras—including the 2006 Hearts on Fire Diamond Fantasy Bra, worth $7 million—have all been dismantled.

And I remember reading that the 1st one was the only one ever sold... :idk:

ETA: found it! I misunderstood Wikipedia, looking at the source, it's apparently none of them.

None of the fantasy bras offered by Victoria's Secret each holiday since 1996 has ever sold, though a 42-carat Harry Winston diamond on the 2004 bra found a buyer

Ok the plot thickens

The very first Fantasy bra – back in 1996 – was the ‘Million Dollar Miracle Bra’ worn by Claudia Schiffer. This was the only Fantasy bra that has ever been sold. It featured over 100 carats of diamonds and lots of semi-precious gemstones.

Well, she had two. While 1997 was ugly, it still had quite the diamond.

While I somewhat like the bra this year, I've not been a fan of them for quite some time. My favorite was 2003 by far. I miss Mouawad crafting these, they were worth so much more and they were stunning without being tacky.
