About the Item

YFrom Ralph Lauren’s celebrated Fall 2001 runway and famously worn by Penélope Cruz for Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party campaign, this extraordinary gown is a true collector's dream. An exquisite example of Ralph Lauren Purple Label couture, the dress is hand-beaded and embroidered throughout in an ornate paisley motif using rich jewel tones of brown, green, purple, and gold. This floor-length gown is crafted from sheer nude silk with delicate stretch and is fully lined for ease of wear. The silhouette is refined and statuesque with a high mock neckline, long fitted sleeves, and a body-skimming column shape that flares subtly at the hem. The drama continues in the back with a daring open design that contrasts the gown’s more modest front. A concealed back zip closure ensures a seamless finish. This gown exemplifies the luxurious, old-world glamour of Ralph Lauren’s most iconic runway era. It is a coveted piece rarely found on the resale market and especially notable for its connection to early 2000s celebrity red carpet moments. Ideal for formal events, editorial styling, or a bridal wardrobe that leans into vintage Hollywood allure. Condition: Pre-owned and in good condition. Gently worn with minimal signs of use. Please note: the gown runs small—best suited for modern size 2–4. Measurements (laid flat, approximate): Bust: 32–35 in Waist: 28–29 in Hip: 33–35 in Length: 55 in Details: Size: 6 (runs small) Color: Brown, Green, Purple, Beige Material: 100% Silk (with stretch) Pattern: Beaded Paisley Sleeve: Long sleeve Neckline: Mock neck Back: Open Closure: Hidden zip Label: Ralph Lauren Purple Label Occasion: Red carpet, formal event, wedding, gala, cocktail A rare archival piece from a major fashion house, perfect for the discerning collector or lover of early 2000s runway fashion.
