This breathtaking sheer silk coat from Roberto Cavalli’s Fall 2000 collection is an ultra-rare collector’s piece, famously worn by Toni Braxton to the 2000 Soul Train Awards. Crafted in a dramatic peacock-toned floral print with rich teal fox fur trim, the coat features an open front, flowing silhouette, and longer train in the back for maximum impact. The sleeves are extra-long with flounced cuffs, and the waist can be cinched with a drawstring tie.
