How much would you spend on a bra? Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller covers her boobs in $3 million

Every year Victoria's Secret debuts their pricey jewel-encrusted Fantasy bra just before Holiday time and their televised "fashion show." This time around supermodel and Victoria's Secret Angel, Marisa Miller, is wearing a $3 million diamond bra by Damiani. "It is an enormous honor to wear the Fantasy bra," says Miller. "It's one of the main features in the Fashion Show every year and I'm so excited to walk the runway in it." The bra showcases white, champagne and cognac colored diamonds with a 16-carat heart shaped diamond dangling in the center. "It is surprisingly comfortable because the Damiani diamonds are embroidered onto the VS Very Sexy Convertible bra - which is actually one of my favorites."

Hey, here's an idea for a gift! How about buying the Very Sexy bra and then a separate diamond (or diamante, or some other affordable jewel) necklace like a normal person?

We'll never understand the point of these ridiculous diamond bras, except perhaps to spark conversation. I remember seeing the Fantasy bra every winter in the Victoria's Secret catalogue, and wondering if anyone has ever purchased one. (Through some online investigating it would seem that no one has.) We also noticed that the price of the Fantasy bra has gone down over the years--it was $6.5 million in 2006, and $5 million last year. Maybe Victoria's Secret is accounting for the recession and hoping someone invests? Since we're a little short on the $3 million price tag, and think that stupid heart pendant would look rather lumpy under our favorite new Old Navy cardigan, we're going to have to pass.

That said, have you ever splurged on a fancy brassiere? What's the most you've spent on a bra, and was it worth it? [People]
