Born in South Africa, Candice Swanepoel is one of the most successful models in the world. At the tender age of 24, she was already featured on Forbes top-earning models list. She has appeared on dozens of magazine covers worldwide, from Vogue to GQ, but is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret.
In 2013, Swanepoel was named the cover model of Victoria’s Secret Swim Catalogue. She was chosen to wear the “Royal Fantasy Bra” in the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
The 10 million dollar bra and matching belt, designed by Mouawad, were adorned with more than 4,200 precious gems, including rubies, polished diamonds, and yellow sapphires. The 18-karat gold bra also featured a 52-carat, pear-shaped ruby at its eye-catching center.
