Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2014
The opening gown from Valentino's spring couture show features musical notes that recreate the melody of a famous aria from Verdi's opera, La Traviata. The dramatic tulle dress (which was worn by Katy Perry at the 2014 Grammy Awards) took an incredible 1,600 hours to embroider.

As an added bonus, the site will feature a video of the actress visiting the atelier to select a couture gown to wear to the Academy Awards on March 2, where she is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in American Hustle.
