The thing I love about dresses (yes, I know its not something you hear me say too often) is that its a one and done kind of deal
The $4.8 million bid, well beyond the pre-auction $3 million estimate, edged out the previous most expensive dress ever sold at auction: Monroes white costume from The Seven Year Itch , which sold for $4.6 million in 2011
And because theres no such thing as too much sparkle during the holidays, wed also pair this outfit with some statement crystal earrings
Some say it was created at Solaris Restaurant in San Francisco, others credit the Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Washington, and still others point to the Olympic Club in Seattle
This is a vintage black lace dress from Boutique Europa
A chic faux fur coat is non-negotiable if you want to keep warm without ruining the rest of your NYE outfit
