A highly coveted, well-documented Chanel metallic floral sheer lamé lace nude illusion gown dating back to Karl Lagerfeld's beloved 2011 pre-fall runway collection. This incredibly rare dress was look number 62, modeled by the beautiful Caroline Brasch Nielsen and has never been worn with original Chanel store tags. This dress became an iconic moment when Rihanna's Vogue April cover dropped and she's wearing this sensational Chanel gown backwards! Not only is this ethereal piece a museum quality treasure, it has such a timeless chic vibe. The fabrics used to create this garment are glorious; the finest French opulent metallic floral sheer shimmering lamé lace with a 'light as a feather' nude silk under slip. I love the gripoix-glass logo buttons trimmed long sleeves. The same stunning buttons also run down the low-cut plunge back. The workmanship is truly breathtaking and it's so figure flattering. A truly iconic, instantly recognizable Chanel look that would make an epic bridal or red carpet moment.
