Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima certainly looks like a million bucks and this year she was chosen to wear an undergarment valued at double that. This afternoon, Lima stopped by Victoria’s Secret in SoHo to reveal the coveted $2 million Bombshell Fantasy Bra; she will also rock the sexy sparkler on the runway at the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which airs Tuesday, November 30th at 10pm EST on CBS.

The bra, which was designed by Damiani exclusively for VS, features 60 carats of diamonds and 82 carats of sapphires and topazes. Talk about a blinging brassiere!

Now here's a statement piece. It's the Wooden Accordion Clutch by Stella McCartney  and it features accordion-style wooden panels generously spaced to showcase an antique-rose satin pouch inside. A long goldtone chain shoulder strap makes this clutch a little easier to carry while gold ball details accent the hinges and a logo embossed disc dangles off one side. The interior pouch is removable, although it will be difficult to carry anything smaller than a scarf or hairbrush without it. Bring a little urban safari to your evening look for $2,045.

I'm loving crochet this season, and although it has a tendency to look a little fallish and even wintery this version, by Chloé, is very spring and summer appropriate. The pretty ivory crochet of this Iris Strass Crochet Clutch is fitted over a hinged goldtone frame and features  Strass Swarovski embellishments in a tight structured grid pattern for some defined but subtle glitz. A great tailored choice for accenting a neutral palette or adding contrast to a bright or jewel-toned summer ensemble. Fully lined in cream and nude leather it has one internal pouch pocket, no shoulder strap, and a clasp closure stamped with the designer logo. $2,360

Lip gloss, you better watch your back.

Chanel is placing their bets that 2010 will be the year that women say hello again to lipstick, as they get set to launch Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour, reports WWD.

The new Rouge Coco collection, which is launching in March, boasts a long-lasting, hydrating formulation, something Chanel hopes will lure lip-gloss addicts away from their beloved wands.

"Women seem to have forgotten how to apply lipstick," Peter Phillips, Chanel's global creative director for makeup, told WWD. "We have a whole generation of lip-gloss girls. Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with lip-gloss, but there is something so feminine about the act of applying lipstick. I want to make lipstick as easy to apply as lip gloss, and for a long-lasting formula to feel comfortable on the lips."

Rouge Coco, which will retail for $30 a lipstick, will be replacing Chanel's existing Hydrabase line. Each of Rouge Coco's 30 shades are inspired by Coco Chanel's life. Mademoiselle is a soft pink, Camelia, a deep rose and Paris, a bright red, reports the paper.

French actress and Mrs. Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis, will star in the Rouge Coco advertising, which was shot by fashion photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino, reports WWD.

"Rouge Coco is one of the most important launches from the House of Chanel in 2010," John Galantic, Chanel's U.S. president said to WWD.

We can't wait to get our lips on it!
