A jaw-droppingly gorgeous and instantly recognizable 2006 fall/winter Dsquared2 platinum silk satin jeweled backless trained gown. This documented runway look 37 worn by Zuzana Gregorova was featured on Julia Stegner in Dsquared2’s stunning campaign for the season as well. This epic showstopper was also Bella Hadid's pick for Chopard’s Cannes Film Festival 2024 party. The gown left everyone speechless and when she walked the red carpet Cosmopolitan crowned Bella “Queen of Cannes".
Dsquared2 is a luxury fashion brand founded in 1995 by Canadian twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten. Known for their edgy designs and bold fashion shows, Dsquared2 has become a symbol of high-quality Italian craftsmanship with the motto "Born in Canada, Made in Italy." The Caten brothers, who studied at Parsons in New York and worked for Versace and Diesel, launched their brand in 1995 and debuted womenswear in 2003. Dsquared2 has become known for their elaborate fashion shows which have featured major celebrities like Rihanna, Cher, and Miley Cyrus.
This ultra rare glamour gown is fashioned in a luxurious platinum silver liquid silk satin which feels amazing against the skin. The sheen of the silk satin is magical and emits a wonderful glow when hit with light. The bodice has a seductive deep-v plunge that is embellished with a row of sparkling jewels. I absolutely adore the completely backless design, offering an alluring view of the side bodice and backside. This silhouette was made to showcase the body like a work of art, with crystal-encrusted straps that elegantly drip off the shoulders. There is even a multi ribbon bow that ties at the top of the bum and cascades down the train of the gown that pools at the floor like liquid platinum. The details make this dress a masterpiece! Every inch of this gown was crafted with the wearer's body in mind and it truly is one of the most stunning dresses I have ever seen. This highly coveted archival look would make an epic bridal or red carpet moment.
