She's the $12 million bra girl

Sexy, hot, floral, royal, heavenly. These are some of the adjectives describing the Victoria's Secret annual "Fantasy Bra" creation.

It's still not known what they will officially call the latest US$10 million (S$12.4 million) bra, which will be on show when the lingerie brand's annual show hits the catwalk on Nov 13.

Coin a new term for it? Probably. For 24-year-old South African model Candice Swanepoel, who will be wrapping the jewel-encrusted bra around her busts, it would mean one thing: She has arrived.

Many models dream of this day. But only a few are chosen.

Swanepoel joins the ranks of other supermodels Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrósio, who were all picked to walk the catwalk wearing the multi-million-dollar bra.

Swanepoel, who is No. 10 on Forbes' list of the world's top-earning models this year, has got a serious one-up over last year's Fantasy Bra model Ambrósio.
