Elsa Hosk on What It Feels Like To Wear the Million Dollar Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra
Elsa Hosk starts our interview by affirming we're going to have a good time and smiling brighter than the jeweled bra she'll be wearing in just two days. And she's right. The Swedish supermodel has been honored with the crown jewels for this year's Victoria Secret Fashion Show: the coveted Fantasy Bra, an Atelier Swarovski piece of lingerie valued at around $1 million. So Hosk has reason to smile. She worked hard to get here—she's walked in the show since 2011—and is getting to follow in the footsteps of her VS angel icon Karolina Kurkova, who wore the Fantasy Bra in 2006.
Plus, Elsa's got some new friends now—the crew of bodyguards there to protect her and the $1 million bra—and she'll probably play some Britney Spears before the show to get pumped up. It's good to be Elsa Hosk, and she knows it. She's grateful, excited, a little nervous, but overall just an Angel. Read on to find out more about her journey from VS Pink model to Victoria Secret Angel.
What was your reaction when you found out that you would be wearing the Fantasy Bra?
I was freaking out because I had no idea it was going to be me and they surprised me on a shoot. I was really in shock. When I opened the box, I was assuming it was a birthday cake because my birthday is coming up but it was the Fantasy Bra. I was just shaking, and I didn't believe they were serious. It was so beautiful. The whole day I was just in a constant smile because I was just so happy.
