Victoria’s Secret x Balmain may be the collaboration on everybody’s lips this season, but don’t let that distract you from VS’s long-running (and equally stunning) partnership with Swarovski. This marks the lingerie brand’s 15th anniversary working with the renowned jeweler, and they’re celebrating in a big way: One million Swarovski crystals will grace the catwalk through various looks in Shanghai, WWD reports.
Elsa Hosk, a VS Angel since 2015, will be wearing the leading look on the runway, which features 275,000 multicolored crystals, 200 yards of ribbon, hand-beaded jewelry, and 14-pound wings. “It is one of the heaviest wings we have ever made,” Monica Mitro, executive vice president, brand communications and events at Victoria’s Secret, told WWD.

In addition to its massive wings, the outfit, crafted by Parisian couturier Serkan Cura, includes a bright red bra and panty set, embellished long sleeves, and feathered sandals.
“When I found out I was wearing the Swarovski look I was so excited as I’ve always wanted to wear it. I can’t wait to walk down the runway in it,” the Swedish model revealed. Hosk follows model Josephine Skriver, who wore the crystal-covered statement piece at last year’s VS fashion show in Paris.
Hosk’s Swarovski ensemble won’t be the only extravagant piece hitting the runway; there’s also the highly-coveted Fantasy Bra. This year’s iteration—modeled by Lais Ribeiro—features handset diamonds, yellow sapphires, and blue topaz in 18 karat gold, for a whopping price tag of $2 million dollars.
We can’t wait to see all these flashy items on the runway in Shanghai. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs on CBS on November 28.
