The 'Sexy Splendor', worn by Gisele Bündchen, has a $12.5 million price tag

She's conquered magazines, movies and the runway, and now supermodel Gisele Bündchen can add diamonds to her illustrious resumé. The Brazilian beauty and international star was chosen to wear the 2005 Victoria's Secret Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra by Mouawad that makes its debut in the company's Christmas Dreams and Fantasies catalog.

Created once again by famed jeweler Mouawad and based on Victoria's Secret's Very Sexy lingerie line, the spectacular18-karat gold bra contains 2,966 pavé diamonds for a toal of 108.37 carats and 22 rubies for a total of 38.25 carats. But the real showstopper of this ultimate holiday gift is the 101.84 carat Mouawad Splendor diamond-an eleven-sided pear-shape mixed cut rated D color and Internally Flawless.

According to Pascal Mouawad, Vice President and Director of US Operations for Mouawad, the ongoing partnership with Victoria's Secret has been greatly beneficial for both parties. "We are thrilled to be working once again with Victoria's Secret on the creation of our fifth Fantasy Bra," he said. "We chose the Mouawad Splendor as a centerpiece for the bra because of its exceptional beauty, which was only enhanced by Gisele herself."

For added glamour, the 2005 Fantasy Bra was paired with two complementary accessories: a matching belt and pendant featuring the diamond and ruby flower motif. The belt, composed of 785 pavé diamonds totaling 24.67 carats and 8 rubies totaling 8.57 carats, was worn by Gisele over Victoria's Secret denim. The necklace-a single ruby and diamond flower pendant in 18-karat white gold-is featured for sale in the Holiday Fantasy catalog.
