The show was also blessed with the presence of many Victoria’s Secret Angels—including Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Barbara Palvin, who sashayed down the runway just one month after giving birth to her and husband Dylan Sprouse‘s first baby.
As for musical performances, Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRaeand KATSEYE put on a halo of a show in between sets.
But what made this year’s Victoria’s Secret show so extra heavenly was the return of the lingerie label’s iconic Fantasy Bra after an eight-year absence. Designed by Jacob & Co. jeweler Jacob Arabo, the latest piece boasted a $50 million worth of diamonds—including a centerpiece costing $22 million alone—for Kylie Jennerto wear in her VS Fashion Show debut.

“I wanted to create the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever made, but value alone was never enough,” Arabo shared in a statement before the show. “For me, it had to be about the diamonds, the light, and the movement.”
In fact, Arabo made sure to use his “proprietary Angel-Cut” to shape some of the diamonds on the bustier so that it “catches light with every step.”
As he put it, “The craft is extraordinary, and what matters most is the emotion it creates when you see it come to life on the runway.”
And the task of modeling the multi-million bustier is no small feat. Ask Elsa Hosk, who had the honor of donning the 2018 Fantasy Bra.
“It’s a bit heavy,” she told Elle at the time. “The weirdest thing is probably the attention that comes with it. Even though I’m used to that working as a model and being in lingerie a lot. The Fantasy Bra is blinding. It’s like, ‘Whoa.'”
She added, “It also feels really special because I know I worked really hard to get there and I feel really proud wearing the bra.”
