The 32-year-old singer and actress stunned in a black Alexander McQueen gown featuring sculptural padded hips and a lengthy train.

She styled the ultra-feminine dress, which was designed by Sarah Burton, with a 128.54-carat Tiffany & Co diamond that was first discovered in South Africa in 1877. In addition to the diamond stone, the necklace features 100 more carats of white diamonds.

It was displayed at the 1983 World’s Fair held in Knoxville, Tennessee, worn by Audrey Hepburn in 1962 for promotional posters for Breakfast At Tiffany’s, and featured in the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris during the mid-nineties.

The only women who’ve had the honor of wearing it are socialite Mrs. Mary Whitehouse, Audrey Hepburn, and now Lady Gaga. The diamond is valued at more than 30 million dollars.
