English model Cara Delevingne, the house's face for the season, also wore it for both the lookbook and the advertising campaign. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gown is crafted from two layers of whisper-soft stretch nylon net that sculpt the body before ending at mid-thigh. The hourglass silhouette closely follows the figure through the bust, waist, and hips before transitioning into a flowing mermaid skirt composed of a lavender chiffon underlayer beneath sheer pink tulle. Soft pleats create volume and graceful movement, allowing the airy hem to float beautifully with every step. The bateau neckline offers a clean, modern frame that allows the embellishment to take center stage. Thousands of iridescent sequins shimmer across the surface, catching the light in shifting shades of pink, lilac, pearl, aqua and silver. Elongated vertical sequin strands descend from the neckline before dissolving into a broken linear pattern across the midriff, subtly emphasizing the waist. Scattered throughout are iridescent pyramid-shaped sequin studs that lend the gown its pop star attitude, punctuating the bodice, waist, and hips before gradually dispersing below. At the skirt, the embellishment transitions into an even constellation of sparkling sequins that seems to float across the sheer tulle. Wide embellished shoulder straps frame a sexy open-back design, creating a dramatic silhouette from every angle. Three discreet hook-and-eye closures secure the embellished horizontal band across the mid-back, while a concealed zipper continues below to ensure a beautifully streamlined fit. The gown reached an even wider audience when Katy Perry chose this design for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, where she accepted the Billboard Spotlight Award for becoming the first female artist to earn five number-one singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100. Every angle reveals another flash of iridescence, another shift in color, another reason people won't stop looking. Some gowns are inherently unforgettable, and you'll appreciate how this archival Blumarine perfectly balances romance with a commanding edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMarked a French size 36\/ Italian 40\/ US size 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(varies slightly due to stretch)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBust: 31-34 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWaist: 23-26 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHips: up to 36 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTotal Length: 62 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis rare Blumarine runway gown is in beautiful condition with no noticeable rips, stains or alterations.
