A striking example of Valentino’s mastery of evening wear, this sleeveless maxi gown dates to the late 1990s–early 2000s and exemplifies the house’s signature blend of glamour and refinement. The bodice features a sheer illusion mesh panel densely scattered with silver crystal and sequin floral clusters, creating a luminous, jewel-like effect against the skin. The embellishment graduates from a densely beaded scoop neckline down to a dramatically angled hem that transitions seamlessly into the fluid black crepe skirt below.
The skirt falls in a sleek column silhouette with subtle draping to one side, lending graceful movement. The rear is equally breathtaking, with a deep V-back that showcases the sheer beaded mesh continuing across the shoulders, adding allure without sacrificing elegance. A discreet center-back zip closure completes the piece.
Rich in couture-level craftsmanship, this gown is a wearable work of art — ideal for a black-tie occasion or as a collector’s statement piece from one of fashion’s most revered houses.
Flat measurements:
Pit to pit: 16”
Waist: 14.5”
Hips: flexible due to slit.
Condition: Excellent!
