Get your checkbook ready, girls. Actually, get Donald Trump's checkbook ready.
Fashion designer Jad Ghandour and Danasha Luxury are set to unveil a luxury dress valued at $1.5 million during Miami International Fashion Week.
The "ultimate red-carpet gown" is set to be worn down the runway by a celebrity model -- the company is still in negotiations - on March 20, but until then it's in the safe hands of two armed security guards.
(Hey, you never know when Winona Ryder might swing by.)
Though the Beirut-based designer is keeping mum about what exactly will comprise the mega-bucks frock, we can expect floaty silver fabric, a belted waistline and fine diamonds handset in 18-karat gold. Cha-ching!
"Our aim wasn't to just throw diamonds and gold together and call it a 'diamond gown'" Ghandour's design team tell us. "We wanted to create a masterpiece -– a gown that would highlight the finest materials without looking overwrought and costume-y.
"The resulting gown looks nothing short of dazzling -- each detail complements one another perfectly."
Well, for that price, it had better. Not that we can afford it, of course... though we will be passing on the alert to Bill Gates.
