Every single Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra ever

November 6, 2018

Each year, a Victoria's Secret model is chosen to don millions of dollars worth of diamonds (and sometimes rubies or emeralds, too!) in the show-stopping Fantasy Bra. Icons like Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Claudia Schiffer, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosioare among the chosen angels - and this year we'll see Elsa Hosk strutting her stuff in a $1 million Atelier Swarovski confection.

"I remember thinking 'is this for my birthday?'" Elsa told HELLO! of the moment when they rolled out a black box, though her big day wasn't for weeks. When she realized it was the Fantasy Bra, she dropped to the floor shaking. "Anyone can walk in the show once but this is my eighth year and to get the honour of wearing the Fantasy Bra, which has been worn by so few people and such iconic supermodels, is really next level." And her walk will surely reflect that! "This bra makes you feel super empowered, and I feel really proud wearing it. I know all those years of work and insecurities, all that stuff – I earned it. It’s a moment."As we excitedly anticipate the Dec. 2 broadcast on ABC, click through to see Elsa's stunning lingerie and all the Fantasy Bras that came before it (including one that set a Guiness world record!)...
