2004 Alexander McQueen Lifetime Runway Pink Silk Cut-Out Ruffle Gown

A truly breathtaking and highly coveted Alexander McQueen ballerina slipper pink silk charmeuse cut-out ruffle sleeve gown dating back to his iconic 2004 spring-summer collection. As shown, this gorgeous well-documented dress was runway look #20. Vogue stated about this collection, "It takes a showman like Alexander McQueen to get the lifeblood pumping back into fashion performance. In the opening scene, the girls entered—dancing for all they were worth on the arms of muscle-bound sailors and hunky hopefuls—dressed in fishtailed silver lamé, figure-hugging cha-cha dresses, and show-stopping gowns with spangled bodices and huge feathered skirts. Other competitors whirled on wearing pink corseted tulle tutus over gray ballet sweats; mint satin tap-suits; or a slinky confection of gray checkerboard chiffon. A Billie Holiday look-alike, dramatically vamping in pink charmeuse and ostrich, vied for attention as flashy bodysuited showgirls were energetically twirled aloft by their partners."
