Dior's couture creations have nothing on this dress
If even Topshop is a bit out of your price range at the moment you might want to stop reading because this story could cause you to wince in pain! A dress has gone on sale in Malaysia with a $30 million price tag, Reuters reports.
The dress is decorated with 750 diamonds, including a 70 carat pear-shaped stone at the centre of the bodice and a train encrusted with real diamonds. The "Nightingale of Kuala Lumpur" dress makes those Balmain and Dior pieces from Fashion Week look like Primark price tags.
The designer Faisol Abdullah told Reuters: "Stocks drop, gold is even falling but a diamond is forever. This is a dress with diamonds. Why go backwards, why can't we go forward? We are going to the fantastic, but it's real. You are getting value for money with these diamonds."
Nancy Yeoh, chief executive of STYLO, which commissioned the dress, added: "Its art and there are still enough rich people who would want to buy. We have a plan to present the dress to the royal courts around the world starting with the Middle East."
The dress will be unveiled at STYLO Fashion Festival next month with 5% of any sales going to the Gaza Humanitarian Fund.
We're sure it's not something we'd wear for a night at our local but we still cant wait to see it!
