Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr
has been chosen by the brand to
model the iconic Fantasy Treasure
Bra — a $2.5 million diamond-
studded piece — in the Christmas
Dreams & Fantasies catalogue and
during the Victoria's Secret Fashion
Show in November.
"It's such an honor to wear the
bra," Kerr tells PEOPLE. "And it's
such a piece of artwork! It's
absolutely stunning — it kind of
feels a little mermaid-like — but I
can't believe I'm wearing $2.5
million on my chest."
The aqua push-up brassiere,
created in part by Long Island's
London Jewelers, is handset with
nearly 3,400 precious gems,
including 142 carats of white and
yellow diamonds, pearls, faceted
citrines and aquamarines, all set in
18-karat white and yellow gold.
The centerpiece features two white
diamonds — each more than 8
carats — and two 14-plus-carat
yellow diamonds.
"We put a lot of love into this bra,"
jeweler Candy Udell tells PEOPLE.
Adds daughter Randi, "We put a lot
of our most favorite elements into
it, such as the tassel — it'll be
wonderful with her walking down
the runway, the tassel swinging
with her body. We thought about
the runway show, and what would
catch everyone's attention."
The runway show will be a very
special moment for Kerr: aside from
wearing the Fantasy Treasure Bra,
she'll be returning to the Victoria's
Secret catwalk after taking a one-
year hiatus while she was pregnant
with son Flynn. "It's very special,"
she says of rejoining the show.
"And now I feel better than ever. I
feel healthier than I've ever felt. It
was wonderful to have a bit of
time off after I was pregnant and
having Flynn. But now I'm back in
the swing of things and it feels
good."
In fact, you could say it feels really
good. "I feel like more than $1
million," she jokes. "I feel like $2.5
million."

Show — featuring performances by
Kanye West and Maroon 5 — on
