2005 Valentino Runway Blush Pink Silk Pleated Bodice Draped Pearl-Belted Dress

An absolutely stunning and highly coveted Valentino blush pink liquid silk pleated bodice pearl-belt documented runway dress dating back to his epic 2005 spring-summer collection. For over forty years, Valentino has been one of the most prominent names in fashion, creating some of the world's most elegant and classic designs. Well-known clients include Princess Margaret of England, Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy, Julia Roberts and Claudia Schiffer. It was Valentino's desire to design clothes that would celebrate the female form and accentuate a woman's sensuality. This unforgettable dress was look number 43 modeled by the beautiful Nataliya Gotsii in an ivory color. It was also Bella Hadid’s choice pick in 2024 for her winter Orabella perfume pop-ups. A true testament that this beauty can be worn in any season. The fabric is so luxurious; a lined mid-weight blush pink liquid silk which feels heavenly against the skin. Valentino uses an impressive micro-pleating technique at the bust which gives the garment so much depth and texture. The lovely paneled seaming of the bodice ensures the dress clings to the waist to offer a flattering shape. This is complemented by an intricate blush pink and pearl accented belt which features delicate crystal embellishments that effortlessly catch the light. The way the mid length side-slit skirting lightly grazes the hip and flares out from the cinched waist is so favorable to the silhouette. Perfect for any wedding or an unforgettable soireè, this dress embodies everything that Valentino stands for: femininity, grace, and an undeniable sense of luxury.
