14th century poem inspires $30 mn dress

Indian origin actress Kavita Sidhu has been chosen by top Malaysian designers to wear a $30 million gown at a fundraising event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Called "Nightingale of Kuala Lumpur", the dress has been designed by top fashion designer Faisol Abdullah of fashion house Jendela, with 750 pieces of diamonds weighing over 1,000 carats held together by a pear-shaped 70-carat diamond from jeweller Mouawad. Faisol said the dress was inspired by a poem entitled The Rose and the Nightingale by 14th century Persian poet Hafiz.
