Created by Louis Vuitton Women’s Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière, the white-and-ivory gown had a plunging neckline, a dramatic torso cut-out, lace panel detailing, a thigh-high slit and a sweeping train with a sculptural ruffled lace bolero that showed design elements from Ghesquière’s celebrated 2026 Balenciaga collection.
Louis Vuitton revealed that the handcrafted outfit required more than 800 hours of work to complete. Ghesquière drew inspiration from his acclaimed 2006 Balenciaga collection, reinterpreting signature elements through the lens of his current vision at Louis Vuitton to create a design that felt both archival and contemporary.
