The silhouette skims the hips before subtly flaring at the hem, extending into a softly rounded train at the back.\u003cbr\u003eThe eye-catching centerpiece is executed using Valentino atelier's signature \u003cem\u003ebudellini\u003c\/em\u003e couture technique, in which rolled double charmeuse silk is wrapped around a looped length of wool and meticulously stitched to form tubular cords that create a sculptural, contouring effect. At the waist, these \u003cem\u003ebudellini\u003c\/em\u003e cords are arranged into a Chinese-inspired interlocking knot motif, accented with crystals and framed by embellished horizontal banding that defines and cinches the silhouette. From the knot extend two elongated tassels, intricately finished with a mix of faceted crystal drops, marquise-cut stones, and beaded elements. These tassels fall in a clean vertical line, catching light with each movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🫧 \u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e: Worn by Keira Knightley at the 2006 Golden Globes, where she was nominated for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in \u003cem\u003ePride \u0026amp; Prejudice\u003c\/em\u003e.
