The 29-year-old model will strut her stuff down the catwalk at the annual event in the extravagant set made from 6,500 precious gemstones by the jeweller Swiss Mouawad.

She explained: "I'm not scared, I'm super excited and I'm anxious to just get on the runway and wear it and be in that moment. Some of the girls who have worn it in the past are just like, 'Enjoy every moment of it.' It's such a special experience and I'm really excited."

The brunette beauty found out she had been plucked to wear the bra and matching knicker set four months ago but wasn't allowed to tell anyone about the gig apart from her husband, Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill, who was thrilled.

She told PEOPLE.com: "He was so proud, he was so excited. He sent me flowers."

This will be the first time Lily has worn the extravagant set, which was previously worn by Alessandra Ambrosio.

Meanwhile, Rihanna, Selena Gomez and The Weekend are set to perform at this year's annual show on December 8 in New York City as Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel and Lily flaunt their jaw-dropping ensembles.
