If A Bra Is Worth $2.5 Million, Is It Still A Bra? by vascey(m): 2:22pm On Oct 21, 2012
Bra worth $2.5 million unveiled by Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio
Lingerie maker Victoria's Secret unveils its ultimate Christmas present - a custom made bra valued at $2.5 million adorned with 5200 precious gems.

Last week it was leaked that Brazilian super Alessandra Ambrosio would be the heavenly body to model Victoria's Secret's jewel-encrusted lingerie at this year's upcoming catwalk extravaganza, and now we can see what the multi-million dollar set looks like.

Each year, a chosen Angel dons a one-off, custom-made 'Fantasy Bra' to close the much-publicised show. Last year the honour was given to Miranda Kerr, but this time Ambrosio will take up the gauntlet just seven months after the birth of her second child, a son named Noah.

The $2.5m (£1.55m) bra, unveiled in New York, has 5200 precious gems on it, including a 20 carat diamond and huge ruby.

Named the 'Floral Fantasy' set, the bra and matching belt have been created by Long Island's London Jewelers.

"It's so unique you know it's this piece of art that you get to wear and it has over 5000 precious gems so you just have all these diamonds around and you have this 20 carat diamond right here. It feels amazing to wear," Ms Ambrosio said.

Abeg o... If a bra is worth $2.5million, is it still a bra? I don't think so. Abi if you are wearing a bra worth that amount, will you not want other people to see it? Will you cover it with cloth like the normal bra?

IMO when a bra is worth this amount, it has turned from bra to proper dress o.

What do you think?

what makes you think that EVERYONE who buys expensive garments automatically want/need to flaunt them? just because thats what YOU will do, does not mean other will....... and in the world that we live in today, most women flaunt their 5$ bras anyway, let alone a 2.5Milla one, lol! why do you think it should be any different now?

Hey! take it easy Mister.
Can't say I really understand you.

Basic functionality of a bra is ....
But when you purchase it for $2.5 million, its no longer basic.

U git my drift?

PS: Abeg o... I don't cross dress so when you say "that's what YOU would do", that statement is not applicable to me.
Re: If A Bra Is Worth $2.5 Million, Is It Still A Bra? by Nobody: 3:43pm On Oct 21, 2012
^^^ so if i understand you correctly, what you are saying is that the "basic functionaity" of a 2.5milla bra is NO MORE to hold bre.ast, simply because there are diamonds or whatever on it?! bwaaaah! let me guess, in your world, the basic functionality of a $3million mobile phone is NOT to receive and make calls any longer?! or better yet an apt that costs $80millions is NOT to accomodate people or live in it?!

again, simply because you wouldnt spend that amount on such item (or that you dont have the money), does not mean that the basic functionality of any expensive item has changed.

Yes sir it has changed. Whoever bought that bra bought as an investment and not for wear-and-throway.

I don't know what part of the world you live in but even to Melinda Gates, a 2.5millon dollar bra will be a trifle too expensive as a clothing item. Them wealthy folks don't become billionaires by wearing $2.5 million dollar bras.

But my point was- why would you wear such bra only to cover it with a top, the lady can as well go topless so she can flaunt the bra. After all the idea behind buying it ought to be to flaunt it right?

vascey: Yes sir it has changed. Whoever bought that bra bought as an investment and not for wear-and-throway.

do you know anyone who throws away something worth 2.5milla? but in the same sentence, because it costs that much, do you believe it should NEVER be worn? here is a clue for you: POWER!!!!!
of course it could also be an investment, but the fact that you automatically believe that it wont be worn is your fail of the day.

I don't know what part of the world you live in but even to Melinda Gates, a 2.5millon dollar bra will be a trifle too expensive as a clothing item. Them wealthy folks don't become billionaires by wearing $2.5 million dollar bras.

again, you are here ASSUMING that rich people dont spend money on such item to WEAR THEM. have you ever worn a truly expensive garment? do you know how it feels to wear/drive an expensive item? dont you think that people will feel very powerful about wearing such item, knowing that most cannot afford it?! its all about POWER bro, and some have more than others.

But my point was- why would you wear such bra only to cover it with a top, the lady can as well go topless so she can flaunt the bra. After all the idea behind buying it ought to be to flaunt it right?

bro you are confusing me, so now you are saying that the idea behind buying a bra (aka the basic functionality) is to flaunt it?! bwaaah, yes many do today, but it doesnt have to be a $2.5milla one, they flaunt even the cheapest bras, so whats your point?

YES! These are actually for exhibitions. The primary objective is to court attention.

Isn't the purpose of a bra to hold the hugs from flying around?

[size=20pt]i think its the value you place on items that make them worth how much they are...if i have a bra of 2.5 million and i treat it like trash, there is no difference between it and a 2500 naira bra in the market...[/size]
