Victoria's Secret Annual Fashion Show Heats Up Miami

As if Miami Beach weren’t hot enough, Victoria's Secret's angels spread their wings and strutted their stuff in front of a star-studded audience at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Saturday night. The night before some of Victoria's Secret models were present for cutting the ribbon alongside Jeffrey Soffer and Don Soffer, Fontainebleau's owner and executive chairman.

Thirty-five models including Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Marisa Miller, Miranda Kerr and Selita Ebanks worked the catwalk presenting 68 creations including a 5 million dollar-worth Black Diamond Fantasy bra, designed by Martin Katz, famous for designing pricey lingerie.

"You could wear it as an open top," Katz said. "It looks like a finished top."

The bra is 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."

Selita Ebanks was the first to grace the X-shaped stage with the pair of wings. Seven pairs of wings were designed by Martin Izquierdo for the Victoria’s Secret fantasy extravaganza themed "Return to Glamour."

Another piece that got everybody talking was Klum's evening gown of hand printed silk, tulle and duchess satin, decorated with red roses. For the finale, she strode the catwalk in a red bra, underwear and sparkling, red wings, which were made to resemble a bow on a present.

Just two months after giving birth, Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her smoking hot pre-birth body three times.  

Themes in the show included glamorous goddesses and bold colors with geometric designs influenced from the 1920s. There were also designs from the youthful Pink collection, along with pastels, florals and a black tie theme.

"The theme of the show is a return to glamour," said company CEO Sharen Turney. "Victoria's Secret is about sexy and the new sexy is glamorous for this season."

Aside from the lovely models and the creations they showed off, the crowd was also rewarded with a special performance from R&B superstar Usher, who sang several of his hits while walking the runway among Victoria’s Secret models.

Celebrities, including Paris Hilton, P Diddy, Russell Simmons, Michelle Trachtenberg, Martha Stewart and Kim Kardashian were in attendance. Musicians like Diddy, Mario and Cee-Lo, actors Kyle McLachlan, Sanaa Lathan, Amanda Bynes, Gabrielle Union, Molly Sims and Becki Newton were also in the audience.  

"I thought it was beautiful," Hilton said. "Breathtaking."
