The gown features a full-sleeve, ball gown silhouette adorned with over a million Swarovski crystals, weighing approximately 25 kilograms. It includes a grand 4-meter monarch train, adding to its regal appearance. The gown’s sweetheart neckline extends to delicate off-shoulder straps, and the entire creation is valued at around PHP 2.5 million (approximately USD 45,000).
The creation process took over three months and involved more than 30 artisans to bring Viy’s vision to life. She was inspired by the baroque Rococo style and specifically wanted a fully crystallized ball gown (ViyLine News). The ensemble was completed with customized YSL heels, 10-carat diamond stud earrings from Manila Diamond Studio, and a hair and makeup look that perfectly complemented the dress.
This gown not only showcases the intricate craftsmanship of Leo Almodal but also reflects Viy Cortez’s personal style and vision for her special day.
