Beschreibung:

Hollywood Pictures, 1996. Cream-colored full-length satin ball gown with heavily adorned bodice of faux jewels, pearls, rhinestones, and beads in colors of red and cream, with a cut-out neckline which rests on the collarbone and a full skirt, bearing an interior label inscribed, "Palace Costume Co." Madonna won a Best Actress Golden Globe Award for her performance as the First Lady of Argentina, Eva Perón, in this musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber. The film was a huge success for Madonna, who up until this time had not fared well in her acting exploits. The story of Perón's rise from squalor to fame, riches, and power and her untimely death at age 33 captivated audiences and was made more realistic by Madonna's actual physical likeness to the subject. Madonna wears this gown in the scenes at the Inaugural Ball as she dances in the ballroom and movingly sings the song, "High Flying, Adored." She also appeared in the October 1996 issue of Vogue wearing the gown. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and a photo of Madonna wearing the dress in the film.
