In the real world, a runway is when fashion bloggers dress up in Insta-worthy outfits and beg for front row seats.
In Victoria’s Secret world, a runway is the one day a year when a girl can wear a $2 million bra and no other girls can say anything else about it.
Well, they can, and in fact everyone does: VS has unveiled their 2015 Fantasy Bra, and chosen Angel / mega-babe Lily Aldridge to have the honour of walking the weighty 1,739+ carat bra down the Victoria Secret runway.
SOME VERY IMPORTANT STATS: the Fireworks Fantasy Bra took 685 hours to create, is adorned with 6,500 precious gems, features 14 different gems – including red garnet, blue topaz, yellow sapphire, and pink quartz, is set with 18 karat gold, and costs a casual two million dollars.
The matching Firework Panties – *pause to shudder at the word ‘panties’* – is adorned with 126 diamonds and 400 other precious gems. Budget or what?
You know what? Fuck #bodygoals / #lingeriegoals / #anyothergoals – this is #housedepositgoals right here:
“I can’t believe it’s finally been announced!!!!” Lily wrote on Instagram. “Thank you so much Victoria’s Secret, Ed Razek and Monica Mitro for this amazing honour!!!! I love you all so much.”
Chosen angels in years gone by include Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks and Gisele Bünchen; last year VS blew the budget and made TWO $2M bras, worn by Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.
Judging by the comments on Victoria’s Secret FB page, there are plenty of people who are a) sad it’s not Behati Prinsloo, and b) damn well going to make their voices heard.
But Gigi Hadid ain’t one of them:
SO happy for you lils!!!! ??✨??????????@LilyAldridge @VictoriasSecret
