No doubt, swimwear follows the fashion trends coming down the runway but would you ever think to spend $30 million on a piece of bikini? Take a sip of water before you gaze at this glittering $30 million bikini created by Susan Rosen with Steinmetz Diamonds, then tell me, apart from beaches where else can you wear it. This world’s most expensive bikini uses all diamonds and no fabric. Model Molly Sims wore this diamond-studded bikini for the centerfold of the 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Royalty knows no recession. Faisol Abdullah, a Malaysian designer, is up to designing the hottest couture ever with a $30 million diamond dress dubbed the "Nightingale of Kuala Lumpur", for the Stylo Fashion festival in the Malaysian capital. “Stocks drop, gold is even falling, but a diamond is forever. This is a dress with diamonds. Why do backwards, why can’t we go forwards?” Faisol Abdullah told Reuters as he showed off his sketches. The silk and taffeta evening gown will be decked with 751 diamonds with a 70 carat pear-shaped diamond at the centre of the bodice, and topped off with a train sparkling with diamonds.
