Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - A $3 Million Bra and some Crazy Photos

Filed under: Apparel

Every year, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is crazier than the last. This year, at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City, we saw an array of outfits that were by equal turns beautiful and baffling. We love how Victoria's Secret always manages to dress the Angels in elaborate designs that sit just next to their bodies -- giant wings and capes that cover nothing ... you'll see what we mean in the gallery.

Pictured here is the most expensive item of the evening, the diamond-clad three million dollar bra, being caressed by Marisa Miller, who had the privilege of wearing it. Honestly, it's a bit of a yawn, but we'd feel cheated if they hadn't BeDiamonded something. What's really fun is the crazy pictures in the gallery. It's only once a year that models get to dress up like harlots from the future and it's like, a big honor. So check it out.

These outfits speak for themselves, but that didn't stop us. Why did we include some of the most awkward pictures? Because we're jealous. Enjoy.

MySkins Skin-Matching Lingerie

No matter whether you're dressed black-tie or for the gym, if your, ah, foundation garments are showing, you look a mess. Of course, you could be going for that look. In that case, skip this post.

But for those women who want their lingerie to match their skin tone and therefore be invisible under clothing, particularly under the white clothes that dominate summer outfits, there's MySkins. This line comes in 20 shades, about 17 more than the traditional black, white, and "nude" (which only works if your skin is that beige-y tone) colors found in stores.

The line features bras ($48) and panties ($12) in three styles each. It's a short list, but my guess is that if the line takes off, it will add more styles. If you're not sure what color is for you, request a free Color Match Card.

A $108,000 Golden Bra

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Generally speaking, spending more on a bra means getting more in the way of comfort, support, and all that other good stuff -- but not in this case. This is a bra made of solid gold and diamonds, and although I'm sure it gets good scores in the support department (ouch) I'm thinking comfort and versatility probably not so much. It's priced at $108,600, but only $58,600 of that is for gold and diamonds -- all that intricate design and diamond handiwork racked up a $50,000 labor bill. Was it really worth the effort?

It is pretty, but I think I'd rather have a bra made of diamonds than gold. Maybe whoever ended up with that gold swimsuit should buy it!

Victoria's Secret joins the Academy Awards swag parade with their annual gift to the best actress nominees. Women's Wear Daily reports that the gift includes a strapless bra that comes with a white gold chain with bearing 14 diamonds ( a total of around four carats) and a pavé diamond circle at the center of the bra and there is also a lip gloss spangled with diamonds and pink sapphires. The question I have is how does Vicky's know what bra size the nominees are?

The holiday season for Victoria' Secret always means a beautiful woman in a jeweled bra. This year Karolina Kurvoka does the honors, modeling the 2006 Fantasy Bra. This year's bra is worth $6.5 million and is studded with more than 2,000 Hearts on Fire diamonds with a 10-carat diamond brooch centerpiece. No one has ever bought one of the bejeweled bras but hope springs eternal. Kurkova adds her own endorsement to the sales pitch saying that it "it doesn't dig in" Good to know. No one wants an uncomfortable diamond bra.
