Hosted by Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes (the former clad in a winter-white Pucci minidress), the duo wasjoined by fellow model stunners Alexandra Richards, Isabeli Fontana (in Jonathan Saunders), Behati Prinsloo, and Magdalena Frackowiak (in Dolce & Gabbana). While Lima relegated her Valentine's Day plans as more an afterthought, focusing on her present duties as she held court in the middle of the room, Fontana had a slightly more elaborate wish—egged on, no doubt, by the night's unseasonably warm climate, not to mention the special "Heartbreaker" cocktail being served (see recipe below). "Since our version of Valentine's Day is different in Brazil, I didn't plan anything specific yet," she admitted. "But I wish I could go to Fernando de Noronha, this island on the northern coast of Brazil, with my boyfriend. It has always been my dream to go." And what exactly would she do on this island? Surely not adopt a Survivor-like lifestyle. "I'd keep things simple," she said. "Just build a fire on the island and have sake!"
