Security was on high alert at SkyCity Casino as all eyes stared at the girl in the $1 million dress.

The dress, modelled by Amber Peebles, was made out of 200 casino chips worth $5000 each, and required the MTV presenter to have her own security team following her around.

It was tailor-made to promote the inaugural SkyCity Festival of Poker, and had its first and only unveiling at the Lee Nelson and Brooke Howard-Smith Celebrity & Media Invitational poker tournament last night. 

Peebles said she felt a little like celebrity socialite Paris Hilton when she put the dress on.

"When SkyCity first pitched me on the idea of the million dollar chip dress I thought it was very Paris Hilton," she said.

"But how many times does a girl get to wear a million bucks?

"When I saw the dress and how much trouble they’d gone to, I thought it looked really amazing."

The dress weighed more than two kilograms and last night was the only time it will be worn.
