Her custom gown was created with Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquière and it was inspired by the cruise 2020 collection.
The dress has a white satin draped bustier and intricate floral embroidery on the body and skirt.
The dress is embellished with 20,000 sequins and 12,000 glass beads. It is reported that it took more than 1,400 hours to complete and over 106 hours just to cut and assemble the dress from a pattern.
