Steal the show and make those around you swoon with this gold cocktail dress.
Created by Turkey-based jeweler and tailor Ahmet Atakan, this cocktail dress isn’t for the faint-hearted or extremely modest. This stunning little number is crafted out 78,000 pieces of gold woven into a mesh like fabric. Though it weighs three kilograms of gold, this glamorous gold cocktail dress sure doesn’t look it. With the hemline so short and the neckline so low, you’d think this dress would weigh nothing shy of a single kilogram. This dress is one of eight sold so far with the intent of ten being sold this year and with the reasonable price of £85,000 or $140,000, then that goal seems pretty attainable.
This dress is something I can only afford to dream about.
