The 45-year-old model is one of a host of famous faces from the fashion world to have teamed up with Disney Parks to launch an exclusive design of the iconic headbands, and she was delighted to unveil her sparkly design, which will go on sale in September.

She captioned a photo of her wearing the ears: "Bedazzling the most famous ears in the world is like a dream come true for me. I am still pinching myself. To all Mickey and Minnie fans - I hope you love wearing them as much as I do! #DisneyParksDesignerCollection #AD @disney (sic)."

The blonde beauty also uploaded a short video of her creative process and revealed that she sketched a "few designs" before choosing the sparkling bejewelled headband as her favourite.

She added: "I had so much fun designing for the #DisneyParksDesignerCollection. I was so inspired by Mickey and Minnie's iconic style that I actually had a few designs in mind... it was hard to pick just one! However, I am thrilled that my blinged-out tiara ears will be released in September! Thank you @disney - it is an honor! #Ad (sic)"

The capsule collection will launch on May 24 with a patriotic design from US retailer Harveys, and a new design from the likes of Karlie Kloss, Vera Wang, Betsey Johnson, Coach, The Blonds, Cupcakes and Cashmere, Alex and Ani, Loungefly and 'Star Wars' actress Ashley Eckstein, will be put on sale every month.

The collection will extend into 2020, when Karlie is expected to launch her own set of ears, and is expected to retail for anywhere between $58 to $600.

Vera, who is best known for her bridal wear, was "thrilled and honoured" to reveal her own headband, adding a ceremonial take with hand-sewn crystals and pearl embroidery, as well as silk and tulle fabrics that she has previously used for her own collections.

In a statement, Wang said: "As a lifelong lover of Disney, and the joy and happiness, not to mention fantasy Disney has inspired in all of us -- I am both thrilled and honoured to have partnered with them to create the Vera Wang Disney wedding veil with the iconic mouse ears so symbolic of their global brand. To brides and collectors alike, this is a special item to treasure and celebrate!"
