As the company’s spokeswoman since 2013, the always-beautiful Miranda Kerr had the honor of raising the Swarovski Star earlier today in NYC. The reportedly 550-pound Swarovski star will sit on top of the Rockefeller Christmas tree, which will be officially unveiled during the 82nd Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 3.

Here are more details about the star from the company’s official press release:

The Swarovski Star is comprised of 25,000 crystals, with 1,000,000 facets, and it measures 9 ½ feet in diameter and 1 ½ feet deep. The Star weighs 550 pounds, including 300 pounds of crystal panels, and is composed of six outer rays and six smaller inner rays.

The main surfaces of the rays are made of point-mounted safety glass which is the same shatter-proof glass that adorns the facades of New York City buildings. The crystals are affixed to the inner sides of the glass in a tight, scale-like pattern to ensure maximum brilliance. The Star is illuminated by 720 energy-efficient LED bulbs on 3,000 feet of wire.

A team of nine artisans spent 1,200 hours installing, programming and testing the Star to ensure the effects would withstand the challenging winter weather conditions sitting 76-feet above Rockefeller Plaza. A replica of the Swarovski Star will also be on display in Rockefeller Center to allow visitors the opportunity to get a closer view of the detailing and craftsmanship.

    She’s gorgeous, and I love those dimples 🙂

    Something about her and red lipstick that I love.

  • lenilovesfeet

    Aww, so cute, so well dressed. Love her.

  • Spanglylovesheels

    She is beautiful if you don’t stare at her very long and really examine her in the way that Leni often does. She is greater than the sum of her parts. But as I have been saying a lot lately, I don’t think I could stand her irl.

    She’s cute. She’d be beautiful if she didn’t have dimples.
