Galia Lahav x Leibish – The $1 million wedding dress
During New York Bridal Fashion Week, the audience was left speechless when Galia Lahav presented her latest masterpiece – a couture wedding dress valued at $1 million. In collaboration with the world-renowned jewellery house Leibish, known for its rare gemstones, the design house has created a piece that pushes the boundaries of luxury bridal fashion.
A legacy in silk and stone
The dress, part of Galia Lahav’s Autumn/Winter 2026 Couture Collection “Keepsake”, is a tribute to craftsmanship, history and heritage. At the centre of the design is a natural ruby brooch weighing a full 30 carats, which after the wedding can be transformed into an exclusive piece of jewellery – a modern family heirloom to be passed down to the next generation.
Every detail of the dress has been meticulously crafted by hand. Everything from the striking corset bodice to the intricate embroidery in ivory-coloured silk taffeta and antique lace. The result is a dress that is not merely fashion, but history woven into silk and stone.
“The inspiration behind the dress was the very essence of a memory – something extraordinary, meant to be preserved and passed on,” explains Sharon Sever, head designer at Galia Lahav.
Not for everyone, but forever
The dress will only be available via private bookings, as a unique couture piece with a price tag of 1 million dollars. For brides who wish to experience a touch of the magic, an alternative version featuring lab-grown diamonds is also being launched, along with the option to hire the ruby brooch. It is more than a dress; it is a legacy of love, time and craftsmanship.
And whilst this creation may not be for everyone, it reminds us why couture still makes us dream.
