American actress Jessica Alba made a stunning appearance at the White House in a custom couture gown designed by South Australian fashion house Paolo Sebastian.
“We are excited and honoured to have worked on this custom piece for Jessica Alba,” Founder Paul Vasileff says. “Creating a gown that reflects her elegance and strength was a rewarding experience for us.”
The gown took over 120 hours of hand sewing to complete, showcasing Paolo Sebastian’s exceptional craftsmanship. It features a stunning French Chantilly lace draped design, with a sheer corseted bodice, embellished with hand draping and godets.
