"Here she is... @JasTookes in the 2016 #VSFantasyBra, worth $3M, designed by @EddieBorgo & hand-crafted by @AWMouzannar," the company tweeted.

The "Bright Night" Fantasy Bra features more than 9,000 diamonds, emeralds and other precious gems from AWMouzannar. The top weighs more than 450 carats and took over 700 hours to create.

"I immediately dropped into tears [when I was chosen]. It was such a shock and so amazing," Tookes told People. "I never thought that I would actually get the chance to wear it. It's such a dream come true and I still don't even feel like it's real."

"Seeing it with all the gemstones and all the diamonds, it was insanely beautiful and amazing, and they had it perfectly lit when I got to see it," she revealed. "It's all white diamonds and emeralds, which are my favorite gemstones, so I absolutely love it."

Tookes, who has also modeled for Jimmy Choo, Ralph Lauren and Kate Spade, was named a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2015. Fellow Victoria's Secret model Gigi Hadid was among those to offer their congratulations online.

"Congratulations beauty @JasTookes on your Fantasy Bra!!!!!! About to take the world's breath away! xx #VSFS2015," the 21-year-old star tweeted.

The 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air Dec. 5 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
