According to Guinness World Records, the dress is made of 1,270.5 g (44.8 oz) of 21-karat gold, with a total weight of 8,810.7 g (310.7 oz). The completed look includes a grand hayar (headdress), an ornate crown, and matching earrings, bringing the total ensemble weight to 10,081.2 g (355.6 oz) — roughly equal to a dachshund dog or one and a half bowling balls.
Blending heritage with modern luxury
This golden creation, designed by Al Romaizan Gold & Jewellery, celebrates Emirati heritage while embodying modern craftsmanship. Every element tells a story: the headdress symbolises cultural pride, while the gold bangle that extends across the wrist and forearm pays tribute to traditional jewellery artistry.
The Guinness Book of World Records’ official Instagram account shared a video of a model donning the glittering gown, captioned:
