Katy Perry (and $2 Million Bra) To Headline Victoria's Secret Show
Robert Doyle READ TIME: 1 MIN.
NEW YORK (AP) - Katy Perry, Akon and model Adriana Lima in a $2 million fantasy bra are among the highlights planned for this year's Victoria's Secret fashion show.
Other models expected on the runway include Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie-Huntington Whiteley, Chanel Iman and Candice Swanepoel. Missing from the lineup is Heidi Klum, who recently parted with the brand.
The lingerie show has become a holiday tradition of sorts, with many of the catwalkers outfitted in elaborate, fanciful wings - and very little else - parading in front of elaborate sets.
The fantasy bra has become a signature, too: This one created by jeweler Damiani features diamonds, sapphires and topaz.
The show will be taped Nov. 10 to be televised in an hour-long special on CBS on Nov. 30.
