Since then, one Victoria's Secret angel - models who have special contracts with the brand - has been chosen to wear the Fantasy Bra every year.
At $1 million, this year's Dream Angels bra is far less expensive than some of the ornate designs that have graced the lingerie brand's runway over the past two decades.
In 2001, for example, Heidi Klum wore a $12.5 million bra covered in pink sapphires known as the "Heavenly Star" bra. To this day, it remains the most valuable bra in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
