Size: medium

A super seductive and incredibly special Roberto Cavalli black leather appliqué sheer mesh hourglass gown dating back to his 2002 fall-winter collection. This unforgettable dress was documented runway look #51 modeled by the gorgeous Fernanda Tavares. Roberto Cavalli made a career out of dressing women in his highly decorative and intricate creations. Cavalli's ideal woman was a rock star—effortlessly chic, with an edge that’s both glamorous and daring. In his heyday he dressed everyone from Aaliyah to Jennifer Lopez. His legacy continues to blaze the red carpets as his designs have been the choice of today's stars such as Beyoncé, Zendaya, and Kim Kardashian. Suddenly, everyone is wearing vintage Cavalli! The 2002 fall-winter collection saw Cavalli at his best. Vogue even stated, "In the world of Roberto Cavalli, nothing succeeds like excess."

This black leather and sheer mesh gown is the epitome of Cavalli style: a mix of sultry sensuality, refined craftsmanship, and rebellious sophistication. The hourglass bodycon silhouette hugs the figure in all the right places; every curve of the body is celebrated effortlessly. The intricate relief-stitch black leather is juxtaposed with the soft, sheer mesh that reveals glimpses of skin in a subtle, teasing way. I love the flexibility of the sheer mesh as it molds to your body to help create smooth lines. The bodice has an alluring low-cut plunge and striking criss-cross backless design, making this such a figure flattering statement. This runway Roberto Cavalli would definitely make an unforgettable red carpet, special event or wedding guest look.
