Following tradition, Victoria's Secret has revealed this year's Fantasy Bra, two days before its annual fashion show will be filmed in New York City.

Monday morning, the brand debuted the lavish piece of lingerie, the Dream Angels bra, on Instagram and Twitter. According to both posts, Victoria's Secret Angel Elsa Hosk will wear the $1 million design in Thursday's runway event, which will air on December 2 at 10 p.m. on ABC.

The brand's Fantasy Bra has been a staple of its annual runway show since 1996. That year, Claudia Schiffer was selected to wear the first iteration of the extravagant garment: a $1 million piece called the Million Dollar Miracle Bra.

Since then, one Victoria's Secret Angel — models who have special contracts with the brand — has been chosen to wear the Fantasy Bra every year.

At $1 million, this year's Dream Angels bra is far less expensive than some of the ornate designs that have graced the lingerie brand's runway over the past two decades.

In 2001, for example, Heidi Klum wore a $12.5 million bra covered in pink sapphires known as the Heavenly Star Bra. To this day, it remains the most valuable bra in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
