Tyra's modeling bra with 2,900 diamonds

Tyra's modeling bra with 2,900 diamonds
Tyra Banks is striking a pose that's truly striking: She's modeling Victoria's Secret's Heavenly '70s Fantasy bra, containing 2,900 diamonds set in 10-karat white gold, adding up to 112 carats of luxurious lift and support.

The $10 million creation is from jewelry designer Mouawad, and features a flawless 70-carat pear-shaped diamond in the center. It will be featured in Victoria's Secret's Christmas catalog, due in mailboxes Friday.

This is Banks' second time introducing the dream bra, an annual event for nine years. In 1997, Banks, host of UPN's reality series "America's Next Top Model," launched a $3 million bra made by Harry Winston. Heidi Klum has been the model three times, including 2003, when she was newly pregnant with her daughter, who was born in May.

This year's bra isn't the most expensive one ever. That honor goes back to the economic heyday of 2000, when Winston created a $15 million bra.
