MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Nov. 15/ -— Victoria’s Secret’s angels have descended upon Miami Beach. Singer Usher kicked off the Victoria’s Secret show Saturday, which featured 35 supermodels, some wearing angel wings. Models including Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima strutted down the runway at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Miami Beach during the show, which coincided with the opulent reopening of the hotel.

Heidi Klum was the feature attraction, but she was joined by 34 other models, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Karolina Kurkova. And, yes, “angels” took wing. Adriana Lima strutted a $5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra designed by jeweler Martin Katz at Victoria’s Secret fantasy extravaganza themed - Return to Glamour.

“The theme of the show is a return to glamour,” said Victoria’s Secret Chief Executive Sharen Turney. “Victoria’s Secret is about sexy and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.”

Jeweler Martin Katz designed the bra. It was decorated with white and black diamonds and rubies, and will be for sale in the company’s catalog. “I always wanted to wear the Fantasy Bra. It’s the first time that Victoria’s Secret makes a black diamond bra,” Lima said. “A woman could definitely buy it if they love it and men, too.”

Themes in the show included glamorous goddesses and bold colors with geometric designs influenced from the 1920s. Professional dancers wore one-piece bathing suits for one segment and models got playful with Usher when he performed.

There were also designs from the youthful Pink collection, along with pastels, florals and a black tie theme.

Models wore gilded bras with Swarovski crystals attached. There was also a gold sculpted feather body piece that curved around the model’s body. Metal sculpted laurel leaves were also worn around some of the models’ necks.

Model Karolina Kurkova wore a bra and underwear in a diaphanous hand-dyed, pleated, draped gown with a leather belt and gilded feather jewelry. Meanwhile, Klum was in a cutaway evening gown of handprinted silk, tulle and duchess satin, decorated with red roses.
