Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Reported by Elite Traveler, the private jet lifestyle magazine

For two dazzling days, October 19 through 20, Raffles Dubai will showcase the world’s most expensive Black Diamond dress worth an extravagant $5.65 million.

Created by British fashion designer Debbie Wingham, this glittering gown will be unveiled to global fashionistas and accompanied by an inspired Black Diamond edition of Raffles Dubai’s delectable Fashion Afternoon Tea. An edible ‘bake’ on the trends of the season, this tea will see the addition of a Dark Chocolate Stiletto encrusted with Sugar Diamonds and replicas from Debbie’s Black Diamond range – stylishly mastered by Raffles exceptional pastry team.

The World’s Most Expensive Black Diamond Dress is the crowning jewel to Debbie’s most recent line – The Black Diamond Collection – and a fabulous fit for the luxurious flair of Raffles Dubai. The collection covers gowns, dresses, jackets, blouses and even diamond-adorned denim. Some pieces have diamonds, others are just beautifully embellished and can be commissioned in diamonds based on the client’s specifications. The diamond range is on sale only around the WMEBDD’s showcases. So only the luckiest fashion connoisseurs in Dubai will ever own a piece of the diamond range.

To celebrate the occasion with a touch of added sparkle, guests will have the coveted opportunity to enter a competition to win a pair of limited edition ladies DCJ Black Diamond jeans worth $4,040. Every eagle fashion eye must simply see if they can spot the difference between the genuine Black Diamond Dress and a placebo version worth $16,162.

By chic coincidence, the Raffles Dubai Spa features two indulgent Diamond Spa Treatments on the menu – a glowing finale for the grand reveal. Male guests will enjoy a luxurious facial treatment by Hommage. The only Black Diamond Exfoliant for men, the treatment uses fine cultured black diamonds and silver spheres to gently exfoliate skin and promote tissue regeneration.

With these amenities on the celebration docket, Raffles Dubai’s Black Diamond dress display weekend is sure to offer something for everyone, from ultra-luxe fashion fans to relaxation-reveling spa-goers.
