Marissa Miller and the million dollar bra
By Claire Hedgley
Victoria’s Secret angel Marissa Miller says was proud to wear this year’s fantasy bra at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York.
“Fantasy bra is always a huge feature at the Fashion Show so I was very honoured to wear it” she says.
The bra, named the harlequin diamond fantasy bra, is worth $4.2 million (US$3 million) and was made out of white, champagne and cognac coloured diamonds.
Ms Miller said she was anxious about being the one chosen to wear the bra.
“It’s a lot of responsibility walking around with $3 million and it definitely made me nervous, especially in my underwear!”
The diamonds were not attached directly to the bra but instead a cage-like structure of diamonds had been made to fit over the bra cups. Ms Miller said this made the garment easy to wear.
“It was actually embellished on a Victoria’s Secret bra so it was surprisingly comfortable. A little heavy but it was definitely comfortable” she said.
The bra featured a 16 carat heart shaped pendant at its centre.
