14 DAY TRIAL // Whichever Victoria’s Secret Angel is picked to wear the Fantasy Bra during the annual VS show is a lucky Angel. This year, it will be new mom Alessandra Ambrosio who has this honor, as the photo attached to this article will confirm.
The Fantasy Bra is more than lingerie: this one costs $2.5 million (€1.9 million) and is as valuable as it’s exquisite.
Speaking with People magazine, Alessandra admits she almost freaked out when she heard she’ll be modeling it at the annual VS show because she’d just given birth and was in no shape to walk the catwalk.
“I just wanted to scream,” Alessandra says of her reaction when she heard the amazing news. She received the call as she was breastfeeding her 3-week-old son, her second child, she recalls.
“But I won’t lie, I was really worried. I was in total mother mode,” the stunning model reveals.
Consequently, the instant her doctor gave her the ok to start working out again, Alessandra was back in the gym to get in shape for the biggest gig of her career so far.
She kicked up her routine with yoga and walking, just to get started. After 60 days, she’d already added daily sessions at the gym, of Pilates and cardio, she says for the celebrity publication.
Somehow, Alessandra also found the time to burn the extra calories in the great outdoors as well.
“I was playing a lot of volleyball on the beach, swimming and running after my kids. And breastfeeding always helps,” she says.
As for diet, the Angel concentrated on staying healthy more than on cutting calories. People reports that her eating plan consisted mostly of “fresh green juices, kale salads and fish,” with the occasional treat of ice cream and pizza.
“My daughter loves cupcakes so we’ll share… but only sometimes!” she says.
This year’s Fantasy Bra has over 5,200 precious stones (rubies, amethysts, sapphires and diamonds) and a gorgeous centerpiece: a 20-carat white diamond, which can be removed if the wearer so desires.
