Size: small - medium

Condition: excellent

This magnificent Valentino ruby-red silk, sequin embellished one-shoulder gown dates back to Valentino Garavani’s epic spring/summer 2008 collection. It's hard to believe this beautiful dress came to us unworn with the original tags still attached. Founded in Rome in 1960, the house of Valentino quickly became synonymous with refined eveningwear and impeccable couture technique. His designs—beloved by royalty, Hollywood icons, and international society—defined a vision of glamour rooted in elegance, luxurious fabrics, and timeless femininity.

This eye-catching gown closely mirrors Look 79, capturing the same silhouette and the house’s legendary, vibrant 'Valentino red' hue. The neckline features a chic one-shoulder design, where a softly ruched band of sheer silk chiffon sweeps over the shoulder to the back. A narrow panel of silver sequin embellishment anchors the strap at both ends, providing a stunning shimmer as it hits the light. From there, the gown falls into a sleek column cut from lustrous liquid mid-weight silk that glides smoothly over the waist and hips. At the side, another sequin band gathers a panel of chiffon into a soft knot from which airy layers cascade beside the skirt, introducing incredible movement as you walk. The back extends into a subtle train that pools softly behind you—an elegant finish reflecting Valentino’s mastery of understated evening glamour. Slip this on and you immediately understand why Valentino’s gowns have defined red-carpet glamour for generations.
