The above gown – a creation of crystal drops connected by metal rings- was a part of Prada’s Spring/Summer 2010 Runway Collection. It was look number 33, to be precise. Several years later, when Baz Luhrmann began working on his 2013 adaptation of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒔𝒃𝒚, his wife and long-time collaborator and costume designer, Catherine Martin, began work on the costumes. While Martin designed and made many of the film’s costumes herself with her team in Australia, she also decided to collaborate on a few of the pieces with Prada and Miu Miu. After choosing the Prada crystal dress, later dubbed “The Chandelier Dress,” a soft pink gown was added underneath the drops, and a bow was added at the front to be worn by Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan. In 2021, the Chandelier Dress was most recently pulled by Lorenzo Posocco, stylist to singer Dua Lipa, for use in her music video 𝑾𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅, where it can be seen being worn backward from the 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒔𝒃𝒚 design.
