Cheongsam-inspired dress crafted in a luxurious blend of nylon, spandex and silk with Cavalli’s intricate chinoiserie floral print. The body is cut from fluid nylon and spandex for graceful movement, while silk details at the shoulders and ornaments enhance the richness of the design. The dress features a high Mandarin collar with tie fastening and a bias-cut skirt with contrasting black panels. Metallic gold accents highlight the floral motifs, adding further depth and opulence.
This piece is an iconic design from Roberto Cavalli’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection, famously closing the runway show. A version of this striking dress was worn by Kim Kardashian on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2019, while Shakira wore a similar red chinoiserie Cavalli dress at an event with the designer in April 2003. These appearances, along with its runway finale moment, cement the dress as one of Cavalli’s most celebrated creations.
