A highly coveted and breathtakingly beautiful Roberto Cavalli colorful large-scale floral print silk bustier floor-length gown and matching shawl dating back to his 2005 spring/summer collection. Roberto Cavalli has made a career out of dressing women in his highly decorative, sexy and flamboyant gowns. Unapologetic glamour, fluidly applied onto the female form with an Italian man’s sensibilities, has come to be Cavalli’s signature style. Some of the world's greatest celebrities endorse the brand including Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen. This gorgeous gown features the prettiest light-weight floral silk which has been skillfully ruched around the body for an ultra flattering hourglass shape. I adore the pop of bright yellow silk-chiffon which showcases the seductive high-slit. The low-cut plunge bustier bodice has intricate interior boning and beautiful rhinestone detailing at the end of the thin straps. The gorgeous matching shawl can be styled a number of ways and really brings the look to a whole other level! This stunning ensemble would make an unforgettable red carpet, wedding guest or Met Gala look. The pictures say it all.
