The dressmakers at the fashion house's legendary 30 Avenue Montaigne shop in Paris explained that Cotillard inspired the creation, as she wanted "a golden dress [with] a sliver of glittering details."

If you look closely, only a single seam is visible on the bust, making it appear as if the lamé fabric, accented by a ruffle of black velvet on the shoulder, was draped on her body. Underneath the molten cloth is a rigorously constructed organza foundation, which allows the fabric to hold the natural curves of her chest without the use of extra stitching or darts.
