In a strapless Pleasure Doing Business dress and black Brian Atwood pumps, former "Twilight" actress Rachel Lefevre spoke her mind on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's pink carpet Wednesday night. It was her first time attending the event.

"I kind of want to see the reality of what these women look like in their underwear," she said. "You know anyone who says they're not curious about that is lying. On TV there are the effects and the lights and the angles and this and that, I just want to know, do they really look like that?"

Though the catwalk was filled with diamond-studded bustiers, elaborate tutus and daring wings, Lefevre's undergarment of choice is a bit more down to earth.

"My favorite Victoria's Secret product is actually these cute little boy shorts that they make," she says. "They're boy shorts but they're still cut for a woman; they show your curves and don't cover your whole butt."

The most elaborate bra of all came from Long Island's London Jewelers, where mother-daughter team Candy Udell and Randi Udell-Alper spent almost a year designing the $2.5-million aquatic themed number.

This year's fantasy bra, worn by model Miranda Kerr, is strewn with pearls and diamonds, but the Udells said the tassel centerpiece was their favorite part.

It has not yet been determined what will happen to the bra now that the show is over.

"We're hoping that a wonderful gentleman will come along and buy it for his angel to enjoy," says Candy.

Will actor Matthew Settle, best known as Rufus Humphrey on "Gossip Girl," make the purchase?

"It won't be me," he said. "I think they should auction it off for a charity."

The pink carpet was abuzz with talk of model Adriana Lima's sinister dark angel wings, but Victoria's Secret executive producer Monica Mitro said all the looks were a hit this year.

"When we do fittings, normally girls are looking at other outfits and trying to figure out if they have the best outfit or if someone else's is better," she said. "This year, every girl loved their outfits. And there are 31 wings in the show this year, so so many girls got wings."

Ralph Lauren model and actor Tyson Beckford, a regular at the annual show, was eager to get inside.

"This is something I always look forward to in November," he said. "There's nothing else in November you want to see. Nothing."
