Cream and black full-length evening gown adorned with cream and black bugle beads, sequins, faux pearls, and beads, lined with chiffon, with beaded spaghetti straps, built-in bra, and a low neckline, with a large slit going up the leg and a small train, bearing an interior "Fabrice / New York / Couture" label, accompanied by a long matching beaded chiffon scarf. Natalie Cole wore this gown at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards in 1992, where she was nominated in four categories and won three: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Traditional Pop Performance, all for her best-selling album, Unforgettable, in which she sang the title song with her father, legendary Nat King Cole, in a remix with his 1951 version. The individual song also won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. Cole performed the song on the telecast of the Grammys, as well as accepted her many awards, wearing this gown.
