There’s just something inherently enjoyable about looking at old baby photos. It’s fun to see what people looked like when they were littler people. I saw this fancy gif on Fashin of all these supermodels morphing into their little kid selves and thought I’d troll the fashion webz for photos of today’s top models before they were catwalk-strutting, glossy-page gracing, campaign-landing beauties.

Take a look.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, in all of it’s boob-ed and winged splendor, airs tonight at 10 p.m. on CBS. This year, Adriana Lima wears the coveted fantasy bra, which rings in at a whopping $2 million and took craftsmen over 1500 hours to make. Of course, $2 million is nothing compared to the $15 million ruby and diamond encrusted bra and panty set that Gisele Bündchen wore during the Victoria’s Secret show in 2000. That lingerie set holds the Guiness Book record for the most expensive underwear in the world. In fact, this year marks the cheapest fantasy bra Victoria’s Secret has shown since they started the fantasy bra in 1996. Claudia Schiffer got the honor that year of wearing the very first million dollar fantasy bra.

Since we’ve already singled out the 10 most ridiculous looks from tonight’s show, without further ado, a look back at 14 years of the Victoria’s Secret fantasy bras.

It’s Victoria’s Secret season at Fashionista. First, we scored backstage interviews with several Angels before their big runway performance and learned all about that $2 million bra.

Then, we came up with our favorite crazy costumes from the show, which airs November 30 on CBS. And more recently, we’ve been all about those Before I Was a Supermodel videos. (Lily Aldridge‘s will debut tonight, by the way. And Chanel’s is scheduled for tomorrow morning.)

So to wrap it all up–pun intended?–we stopped by the Victoria’s Secret and Pink stores in SoHo this morning and quizzed the Angels on what they plan on giving–and receiving–this holiday season:

Before I Was a Supermodel: Adriana Lima

Wednesday, Nov 17, 2010 / 10:20 AM

In this video series, exclusive to Fashionista, Victoria’s Secret models reveal what their lives were like pre-Angeldom. This segment features bombshell Adriana Lima:

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs Tuesday, November 30 at 10pm EST on CBS.

Victoria’s Secret, along with Angel Adriana Lima, hosted an intimate luncheon yesterday for fashion bloggers to showcase the $2 Million Bombshell Fantasy Bra that Lima will wear during next month’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion show.

The bra, designed by Damiani, is comprised of over 3000 white diamonds in an Old Hollywood-style star burst pattern set in 18 karat white gold. (If you can’t swing $2 million for a diamond encrusted bra, Victoria’s Secret is offering a Swarovski crystal version for just $250.)

“It’s very elegant and 1950′s–definitely my style,” Lima told us, also noting that this incarnation of the Bombshell Fantasy bra (which she has worn once before) was not “vulgar” and very comfortable.

Lima, who had a baby just last year, is not worried about her body being back in Angel shape (she was wearing a skin tight leather mini dress, and it was hard to believe a baby ever came out of that body), but she admits she still gets nervous before she walks.
