The crowd got crazy and it was hard to know if they were cheering for the $2 million jewelry bra Ribeiro or the Brazilian beauty herself.
In most cases, the grand event held in Shanghai, China in November was a success.
Ribeiro and more than a dozen of her supermodel friends are at their best in about $12 million in production, with company executives arranging television broadcasts around the world.

According to Bloomberg, 7 billion has been keeping a close eye on Victoria\'s Secrets, taking over the chain in 2016, when Sharen Jester Turney, CEO of the chain for ten years, suddenly left.
Her successor, the singer of January, was appointed three months later, but Wexner never entered the board of directors of the company.
\"Les is involved in a lot of work,\" said Simeon Siegel, analyst at Instinet . \".
\"Over the past decade, we \'ve seen some founders/CEOs step aside, but he\'s one of the most involved people in the company he started.
Others say Wexner is part of the problem.
\"At the end of the day, he is out of touch with today\'s reality,\" said Randal Konik, analyst at Jefferies . \".
The company declined to let Wexner go public through a spokesman.
Recent interviews with the legendary retailer have drawn attention, and he appears to have a lack of understanding of the impact of MeToo sports and technology on retail.
When asked by the Financial Times whether the objectifying of women in the fashion industry encouraged men\'s bad behavior, Wexner replied, \"I think it\'s totally nonsense.
Victoria\'s Secret, he argues, cannot take advantage of women because it is run by women.
\"The business has always been the responsibility of a lady.
The marketing director is a woman.
\"These are not exploiting women,\" he told the Financial Times . \".

\"My company has tried to sell them many times, but the answer is always \'not at this time, \'\" said Jamie Gorman, only nine founders \'. \".
