This exquisite custom evening gown was designed by the legendary Bob Mackie and worn by the iconic entertainer Liza Minnelli. The dress features a sheer nude-tone overlay entirely encrusted with shimmering silver bugle beads and meticulously applied faux pearls. The pearls are densely clustered at the shoulders and neckline, cascading down the long sleeves and bodice in a dramatic, light-catching gradient. Known for his " Sultan of Sequins" reputation, Mackie’s collaboration with Minnelli resulted in some of the most memorable fashion moments of her career. This garment epitomizes the high-glamour, theatrical aesthetic shared by the designer and his muse.
