Candice Swanepoel to model Victoria's Secret's $10 million Fantasy Bra
Candice
Swanepoel will model this year's multimillion dollar Victoria's Secret 'Fantasy
Bra' when the lingerie brand's annual show hits the catwalk on November 13.
Last year the honour was
bestowed upon fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio and the year before that Miranda Kerr, who has recently given up her wings. Other past wearers have included Gisele
Bündchen and Heidi Klum.
But Candice has got a serious
one-up on Kerr and Ambrosio. While their bejewelled creations were both worth
an impressive $2.5 million, Swanepoel's is worth four times more, at an
astonishing $10 million (approx £6.26 million).
The
huge price tag is down to a 52-carat pear-shaped ruby that dangles from the
bra's centre, as well as 4,200 other precious stones, including diamonds,
yellow sapphires and more rubies, all set in 18-karat gold, which forms the
piece's shape and matching belt.
"I've never worn
anything this pricey, and we have to put gloves on when we put it on,"
Swanepoel told People. "It's kind of a big ordeal. The bra comes with two bodyguards and we
have to handle it with a lot of care!"
News that Swanepoel will be
modelling the creation has been kept under wraps for months, so the fitting
process had to be done under a veil of secrecy.
"They
had to mold my body to be able to make [the bra], and I was really
excited," said the South African 24-year-old. "I tried to imagine
after they'd done the mold, how would they make it, how it would look. My
imagination didn't do it justice. My favorite part is this beautiful 52-carat
pear-shaped ruby. Every part of it is exquisite."

Moxie Showerhead + Wireless Speaker
Your
music. Your shower. Your time. To chill out. To sing. Refresh. Energize.
Escape. The Moxie showerhead + wireless speaker delivers up to 7 hours of
music, news and more by pairing wirelessly with your device enabled with Bluetooth®
technology. Just you + water + clean, clear sound.
Rock star Performance
Not
to be upstaged, the sprayface features 60 angled nozzles that deliver the full,
enveloping spray you’ve come to expect from a KOHLER® showerhead.
Available
with a water-saving 2.0 gpm or a 2.5 gpm spray, Moxie lets you save water
without sacrificing performance. And the silicone sprayface of the showerhead
makes it easy to wipe away mineral buildup.
Share your Moxie
Sync
your device enabled with Bluetooth® technology with the wireless speaker
from up to 32 feet away, and invite your playlist, podcast or live broadcast
into the shower.
Plus,
you can take your music with you anywhere. The Moxie speaker plays wirelessly
in or out of the shower, so you can charge it up to use in the kitchen or take
to the beach.
Switch, pop 'n' play
Moxie
couldn’t be easier to install. Just like any other showerhead upgrade, simply
remove your old showerhead and replace it with Moxie.
To
