See the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Fantasy Bras Through the Years

Ever since the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show made its grand return in 2024 after a five-year hiatus, one thing has been notably absent: the lavish Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bras, worth millions of dollars. That is, until 2026.

Yes, the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will see the return of the Fantasy Bra, with the brand expected to unveil its first grandiose bejeweled lingerie set in eight years, so what better way to prepare than by looking at the evolution of the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bras through the years?

Below, revisit every single Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra, from 1996 to today.

1996: The Million Dollar Miracle Bra

Before it became a runway tradition, the first-ever Fantasy Bra, christened the Million Dollar Miracle Bra, was unveiled in a five-story campaign worn by Claudia Schiffer. Designed in collaboration between four New York City-based private jewelers, the bra featured 100 carats of diamonds and began the tradition. Its $1 million price tag made it a headline-worthy piece, but it has ironically become the least expensive bra in this lineup. Though the Million Dollar Miracle Bra lived in billboards only at first, Tyra Banks did wear it during the 1999 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, as you can see below:

1997: The Diamond Dream Bra

The second-ever Fantasy Bra also lived outside the runway. Banks rocked the strapless design for brand promotions, including walking around NYC. The $3 million confection by Harry Winston featured a sweetheart diamond trim with 100 diamonds, as well as a 42-carat diamond that hangs at the center.

1998: The Dream Angel Fantasy Bra (Not Pictured)

Czech model Daniela Peštová was tasked with wearing the third Fantasy Bra, a floral-mesh style encrusted with various jewels totaling to over 300 carats of diamonds and over 70 carats of rubies. Unlike future designs, which were anchored on the jewels, The Dream Angel Fantasy Bra by Janis Savitt featured a “normal” white lace bra as the base, but it cost $5 million.

1999: The Millennium Bra

With the year 2000 looming closer, German model Heidi Klum rocked the most extravagant Fantasy Bra until then, the so-called Millennium Bra, which was valued at a whopping $10 million. The starry-sky-inspired design featured more than 2,000 diamonds and sapphires set in platinum.

2000: The Red Hot Fantasy Bra

Ringing in the millennium, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen wore the Red Hot Fantasy Bra, which, valued $15 million, immediately claimed a spot in Guinness World Records as the most expensive piece of lingerie ever created, which it held until 2006. The piece was made from 1,300 diamonds and Thai rubies. It did not grace the runway, but it was the star of the brand's holiday catalog.

2001: The Heavenly Star Bra

For the first-ever televised runway show, Klum was in charge of the Fantasy Bra spectacle. The veteran Angel wore the so-called Heavenly Star Bra, which was valued $12.5 million. It was the first Fantasy Bra designed by Lebanese jeweler Pascal Mouawad, who would later become a go-to. It featured 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires, over 2,300 smaller diamonds, and a central 90-carat diamond in the center. As if that alone was not enough, it also came with a matching diamond belt.

2002: The Star of Victoria Fantasy Bra

For the second year in a row, and also featuring a matching belt, Mouawad designed the Star of Victoria Fantasy Bra, worn by Czech model Karolína Kurková both on and off the runway. Featuring rose motifs, the bra was made of 1,600 emeralds, 1,150 rubies, and a 60-carat pear-shaped diamond at the center. It was a total of $10 million.

2003: The Very Sexy Fantasy Bra

Klum's third Fantasy Bra was also by Mouawad. The $11 million Very Sexy Fantasy Bra featured a multicoloured top encrusted with over 2,800 jewels, including a dangling 101-carat Excelsior diamond. The bra took 370 hours to create and also featured a matching bottom with over 3,000 gems.

2004: The Heavenly 70 Fantasy Bra (Not Pictured)

There was no Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2004, but the brand held an Angels Across America tour. Still, Banks had the honor of wearing the Fantasy Bra this year for studio campaigns. Designed by Mouawad, the 18-karat white gold bra featured 2,900 pavé-set diamonds and a 70-carat pear-shaped diamond at the center. It took over 275 hours to make and cost $10 million. (You can see a picture here.)

2005: The Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra

Going for a Christmas vibe, Bündchen wore her second Fantasy Bra in 2005. Named the Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra, the $12.5 million geometric creation by Mouawad included 2,900 pavé-set diamonds, 22 rubies, and a whopping 101-carat pear-shaped diamond. The combination was set in 18-karat white gold and also featured a matching belt.

2006: The Hearts on Fire Diamond Fantasy Bra

The first bra in five years not designed by Mouawad was instead created by Hearts on Fire. The bra cost $4.5 million and held over 2,000 diamonds as well as a 10-carat diamond brooch hanging at the center. The Bra was worn by Kurková on the runway with a matching belt and complementary pieces such as a bracelet and a necklace.

2007: The Holiday Fantasy Bra

Another floral motif, this time centered on hollies and poinsettias, the holiday-inspired Fantasy Bra worn by Caymanian model Selita Ebanks featured almost 9,000 diamonds between rubies, emeralds, and yellow sapphires. Aside from the bra, the set also included a matching thong, garter, hair barrette, and matching cuff bracelet, all with extra jewels. Designed by Mouawad, the bra cost $4.5 million and took the jewelers over 880 hours to put together.

2008: The Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra

The $5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra, worn by Brazilian model Adriana Lima, was made of, you guessed it, primarily black diamonds. Specifically, jeweler Martin Katz picked 3,575 black diamonds, 117 one-carat diamonds, and 34 rubies for the creation. It also featured two dangling black diamond drops for added drama.

2009: The Harlequin Fantasy Bra

Italian jeweler Damiani crafted its first-ever Fantasy Bra for American model Marisa Miller. The Harlequin Fantasy Bra featured 2,300 diamonds in a lattice pattern as well as a 16-carat heart-shaped diamond as a centerpiece. It cost $3 million.

2010: The Bombshell Fantasy Bra

The second bra for both Damiani and Lima was the Bombshell Fantasy Bra. The creation featured over 3,000 white diamonds, sapphires, and topazes, which were all set in 18-karat white gold. It took over 1,500 hours to complete and cost $2 million.

2011: The Fantasy Treasure Bra

Australian model Miranda Kerr wore her first Fantasy Bra in 2011. Made by London Jewelers, the Fantasy Treasure Bra followed an under-the-sea ocean theme and, as such, featured a turquoise base adorned with a myriad of pearls, citrines, and aquamarines, as well as diamonds. The $2.5 million creation also featured additional strands of pearls and four 14-carat diamonds in a center tassel.

2012: The Floral Fantasy Bra

Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio finally made her Fantasy Bra debut in 2011 with the Floral Fantasy Bra, the second creation in a row by London Jewelers. The floral design included over 5,200 hand-set amethysts, sapphires, rubies, and multi-colored diamonds. The $2.5 million piece was anchored by a 20-carat diamond in the center and also featured a matching belt.

2013: The Royal Fantasy Bra

Mouawad returned to designing the Fantasy Bra in 2013, bringing the estimated value back to seven figures with the $10 million Royal Fantasy Bra. Worn by South African model Candice Swanepoel, the shows-topping crown-inspired 18-karat gold set featured over 4,200 jewels and a 52-carat pear-shaped ruby as its center piece.

2014: The Dream Angels Fantasy Bras

Ambrosio and Lima took on double duty in 2014, marking the first time Victoria's Secret debuted not one but two Fantasy Bras. Valued at $2 million each, the Mouawad confections stuck to a blue and red color palette with over 16,000 jewels (including rubies, diamonds and sapphires) in each design. Both were set in 18-karat gold.

2015: The Fireworks Fantasy Bra

At a more “modest” $2 million, the handset Fireworks Fantasy Bra marked the first time veteran Angel Lily Aldridge wore the famed creation. Inspired by fireworks, the bra designed by Mouawad comprised over 6,500 jewels and took almost 700 hours to create. It also featured matching bottoms.

2016: The Bright Night Fantasy Bra

Both designer Eddie Borgo and and American model Jasmine Tookes made their Fantasy Bra debut with this design, which took over 700 hours to complete. Featuring mainly diamonds and emeralds and set in 18-karat gold, the $3 million Bright Night Fantasy Bra sparkled on the runway with the main brassiere and a matching body chain piece, both totaling 9,000 precious gems.

2017: The Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra

Brazilian model Lais Ribeiro wore the last Mouawad Fantasy Bra to date during the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The creation, valued at $2 million, comprised 6,000 jewels and favored champagne and blue hues, all set in a leaf-inspired motif. The set featured two striking dangling blue topazes as center pieces. Aside from the bra, Ribeiro also donned matching earrings, belt, and bracelets.

2018: The Last Fantasy Bra

Though it never received an official name, the 2018 Swarovski-made Fantasy Bra will go down in history as the Last Fantasy Bra of Victoria's Secret's golden era. Much like the first Fantasy Bra, it was valued at a million, tying it for the least expensive in the brand's history. The sterling silver creation was created to have a “'90s vibe” and was meant to be “simple, modern, and so sparkly,” as model Elsa Hosk told People. The piece featured 2,100 Swarovski-created diamonds.

2026: The Return of the Fantasy Bra (Not Pictured)

Though it is yet to be unveiled, Victoria's Secret has confirmed that the Fantasy Bra will return in 2026. The piece will be made by Jacob & Co. and will be “the most expensive bra ever made.” Prior to the runway, it was confirmed that the diamond center piece alone will be worth $22 million, making it the most expensive Fantasy Bra already. The Angel who will be wearing the creation has yet to be revealed!
