KEY POINTS:
A dress twinkling with hundreds of LED lights has made its first public appearance since it emerged on the Paris catwalks.
The white fabric dress first shown in Paris for Swarovski's 2007-8 Spring-Summer collection last April conceals thousands of LED chips and can even display short video clips.
The crystal-encrusted dress is not currently for sale, but even if it was, the price tag of US$16,000 ($21,270) would likely put it out of the realm of affordability for most.
