It was lights, camera and serious security, as Candice Swanepoel shot the Victoria's Secret Royal Fantasy Bra with two burly security guards standing watch.
The 25-year-old, who will wear the $10million bra and matching belt on the runway of the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing December 10, was also photographed in the jeweled bra for the lingerie giant's Holiday catalog, in homes this week.
'I don't think I've ever seen anything more beautiful,' the South African model said behind-the-schene of the Victoria's Secret shoot, before adding, 'And I'm a girl that loves jewelry!'

The Royal Fantasy Bra and Belt was designed exclusively for Victoria's Secret by world-renowned jeweler, Mouawad.
'I didn't expect it to sparkle quite like this,' Miss Swanepoel said while still dressed in a fluffy white bathrobe.
'Everyone asks whats it's like to wear $10million dollars. It does make me pose a little bit better,' she admitted with a laugh.
The Royal Fantasy Bra and matching belt are adorned with over 4,200 precious gems from around the world including rubies, diamonds, and yellow sapphires.

‘They had to make a mold of my body to be able to make [the bra], I was really excited,’ Miss Swanepoel told People magazine.

‘I tried to imagine after they’d done the mold, how would they make it, how it would look. My imagination didn’t do it justice. My favorite part is this beautiful 52-carat pear-shaped ruby. Every part of it is exquisite.
‘I’ve never worn anything this pricey, and we have to put gloves on when we put it on. It’s kind of a big ordeal. The bra comes with two bodyguards and we have to handle it with a lot of care!’ she added.
As the blonde bombshell prepped for the show, she tweeted to her followers: 'So excited to be wearing the fantasy bra this year in the @victoriassecret fashion show!'
The first ever Fantasy Bra was made in 1996 for Claudia Schiffer, but the most expensive Fantasy Bra produced was the Ruby Fantasy Bra worn by Gisele Bundchen in 2000, which cost an eye-watering $15million (£9.3m) to hand make.
