Proper syntax for altering the VB property name when displayed using razor

My property name is "UglyPropertyName" and I want to change the Display Name to "New Role" in my view when using 

@Html.DisplayNameFor(Function(model) model.UglyPropertyName)

With C#, putting [Display(Name="Some New Name")] above the class property will change the display name. What is the syntax to do this in VB.net?

Public Class SomeVBClass
    Private _UglyPropertyName As String

    Public Property UglyPropertyame As String
        Get
            Return _UglyPropertyName
        End Get
        Set(value As String)
            _UglyPropertyName = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

//Snippet From .vbhtml view

<dt>
    @Html.DisplayNameFor(Function(model) model.UglyPropertyName)
</dt>
<dd>
    @Html.DisplayFor(Function(model) model.UglyPropertyName)
</dd>

Currently the @Html.DisplayNameFor will use the property name "UglyPropertyName". I want it to be something like "Formatted Property Name".

It's just slightly different syntax

Public Class SomeVBClass
    Private _UglyPropertyName As String

    <DisplayName("Some New Name")>
    Public Property UglyPropertyame As String
        Get
            Return _UglyPropertyName
        End Get
        Set(value As String)
            _UglyPropertyName = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class
