It was a particularly lavish engagement, and Kim Kardashian looked suitably stunning when Kanye West popped the question this week.The reality TV star channeled Hollywood glamour in a feminine lilac and white Valentino dress as she accepted her boyfriend's proposal in a San Francisco stadium rented out for the occasion.

With her Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring estimated to be worth $1.6 million, Kim's dress also came with an impressive price tag. It is stocked in exclusive London store Harrods for £4,235 (just over $6,800).

It is also very hard to get hold of. The dress is part of Valentino's fall 2013 line and is not yet available online.

English fashion designer Charlotte Ronson was spotted wearing the same design at the Brazil Foundation Gala in New York in September. And French access Lea Seydoux also stepped out in the dress at the Cannes Film Festival back in May.
