The 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was held on Wednesday night at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York. Apart from getting exposed to the latest fashion trends, audience members were also entertained by Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Bruno Mars. Every year a staggering $12 million is spent on this single evening!

This year’s show had a circus theme – complete with acrobats, a sword-swallower and stilt walkers. Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes, Hilary Rhoda, Adriana Lima and Miranda Kerr all took part – along with 35 other models. Earlier this week, we told you about the three brand new models Victoria’s Secret added to this year’s runway. Read more about them here.

Brazilian beauty Alessandra Ambrosio was given the honour of wearing the Fantasy Bra (pic above) – worth a whopping $2,5 million! Specially redesigned annually, this year’s version is covered in intricate flowers made out of a massive 5 200 precious and semi-precious stones. The gems include amethysts, sapphires, rubies and white, pink and yellow diamonds.
