Adriana Lima's "Incredible" New Victoria's Secret Ad

Filed under: Apparel

This must be a first – a new fragrance inspired by a bra. Of course the concept makes a lot more sense when you consider that the bra in question is being worn by Brazilian bombshell Adriana Lima. She stars as the face and body of Incredible, the new fragrance from lingerie leviathan Victoria's Secret inspired by the company's Incredible bra, a runaway success and one of the biggest launches in its history. With that – and Adriana – as inspiration, VS set out to create a fragrance that would "make a woman feel her hottest, her sexiest, her absolute Incredible best – a sexy ego boost in every spritz." Not bad to look at either.

This summer, luxury charter service V1 Jets opened up its seaplane service from Manhattan to the Hamptons (formerly reserved for members) to anyone with the price of a ticket, and it's proved to be very popular with the gliteratti. The 40 minute trip on an 8-passenger Cessna, which costs $495 one-way, has been taken by the likes of models Adriana Lima and Petra Nemcova, actors Pierce Brosnan and Jeremy Piven, and mogul Barry Diller. V1 Jets was founded in 2003 by hedge fund manager Andrew Zarrow who envisioned a way to utilize the excessive amount of "dead legs" created by private aircraft returning empty after delivering clients to their destinations, saving money and resources in the process.
