What would be more nerve-wracking: Showcasing your cleavage in $10
million of jewels on national TV, or following in the footsteps of major
supermodels like Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klumand
Alessandra Ambrósio, who have all done it before you? Luckily, we’ll

will when she hits the catwalk for this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion

“They had to mold my body to be able to make [the bra], and I was
really excited,” Swanepoel tells PEOPLE. “I tried to imagine after
they’d done the mold, how would they make it, how it would look. My
imagination didn’t do it justice. My favorite part is this beautiful
52-carat pear-shaped ruby. Every part of it is exquisite.”
Jeweler Mouawad hand-set more than 4,200 precious stones (including
rubies, diamonds and yellow sapphires) in 18-karat gold to create the
fantasy bra and matching belt. “I’ve never worn anything this pricey,
and we have to put gloves on when we put it on,” Swanepoel shares. “It’s
kind of a big ordeal. The bra comes with two bodyguards and we have to
handle it with a lot of care!”
The South African supermodel says that while it wasn’t hard for her
to keep her big announcement under wraps (“I want it to be a big
surprise!” she says),
