Yesterday afternoon, Victoria’s Secret and Angel Adriana Lima invited a group of fashion bloggers to lunch at Bobo to celebrate the $2 million Bombshell Fantasy Bra designed by Damiani. Adriana is super cute and warm, she personally greeted all the bloggers and welcomed us to the luncheon. The bloggers chose either steak or scallops while the supermodel ate chicken and veggies, she’s on a no carbs diet to keep fit for the upcoming VS runway show on November 10th which she dishes that Katy Perry and Akon will be performing at. At the luncheon VS also debuted their iPad app which is full of eye candy and exclusive content.
The $2 million Bombshell Fantasy Bra is the Miraculous™ Push-Up Bra encrusted with more than 3,000 brilliant cut white diamonds, light blue sapphires and oval-shaped topazes, all hand-set in 18 karat white gold to evoke a heavenly display of swirling stars and constellations. Designed exclusively for Victoria’s Secret, by Damiani, with a total carat weight of 142 ct. Seriously, amazing in person! There is also a more affordable version with a matching V-string set, embellished with pink iridescent Swarovski Elements for $250 (bra) and $50 (v-string).
FashionistaVictoria's Secret, along with Angel Adriana Lima, hosted an intimate luncheon yesterday for fashion bloggers to showcase the $2 Million Bombshell Fantasy Bra that Lima will wear during next month's Victoria's Secret Fashion show. The bra, designed by Damiani, is comprised of over 3000 white diamonds in an Old Hollywood-style star burst pattern set in 18 karat white gold. (If you can't swing $2 million for a diamond encrusted bra, Victoria's Secret is offering a Swarovski crystal version for just $250 .) "It's very elegant and 1950's - definitely my style," Lima told us, also noting that this incarnation of the Bombshell Fantasy bra (which she has worn once before) was not "vulgar" and very comfortable. Lima, who had a baby just last year, is not worried about her body being back in Angel shape (she was wearing a skin tight leather mini dress, and it was hard to believe a baby ever came out of that body), but she admits she still gets nervous before she walks. "Every year I get nervous - it's like the first time every year," she said. Her trick? Wearing the same perfume (a VS scent, of course, called "Very Sexy"). "It's a ritual - it helps me feel comfortable and sexy." But back to the baby thing. It seems like there's something in those Angel wings. Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes are pregnant. Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Claudia Schiffer have all had babies recently. "I think the whole world is having babies right now," said Lima. "Not just the Angels, but all models and I heard Beyonce might be pregnant? I think fashion is embracing pregnant women." But would she have walked pregnant? "Of course I would walk pregnant - it's a natural, beautiful thing. I really felt like I was a goddess [while I was pregnant]." In fact, Lima says she was approached to walk in a show while pregnant. "I was only three months at the time and they wanted me to be further along," says Lima. There you have it: Pregnant models, still so hot right now.
CelebrityBabiesMany moms struggle with body confidence after delivering their children, but Adriana Lima says that having a baby actually "makes me feel sexier." "I'm in love, it's the best thing I've ever done," the model told PEOPLE Wednesday at the Victoria's Secret Bombshell Fantasy Bra Launch in New York City. And if daughter Valentina wants to follow in her catwalkin' footsteps, Lima, 29, says that's fine by her. "I will support her whatever she may become - a model, a ballerina, a doctor... whatever makes her happy," she explains. In preparation for her first birthday on Nov. 15, Valentina is learning a new skill - and a new tune. "She just started clapping her hands a few days ago," Lima shares of her first child with husband Marko Jaric. "I'm teaching her the 'Happy Birthday' song so when she hears it, she'll know how to do it. I have friends that have babies so we're going to get together and celebrate."

What do you get when you combine Adriana Lima and Halloween? Not exactly the Victoria's Secret Halloween collection, though I would argue it's far better. So if you're yet to decide on your Halloween costume for this Sunday night, do as Adriana Lima clearly did in years go by and put some real thought into your costume.
Inspired by Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride, the next time you see Adriana Lima dress with such attention to detail is when she takes to the catwalk of the 2010 Victoria's Secret show.
