The bedazzling “diamond” wraps the Emirates “Bling” 777 and people are wowed!
Emirates is known to be one of the top airlines in the world providing quality services because they surely know how to take airline standards to new heights — and a photo circulating on social media is proving that point.
If you think Emirates could not get any more “extra”, it introduced on its Twitter account their new aircraft — the Emirates “Bling” 777 which is a plane covered with diamonds and crystals from nose to rudder.
But hold your horses before you get too excited because this photo is simply an artwork by Pakistani crystal artist Sara Shakeel.
Shakeel, who formerly worked as a dentist, was on her way to Milan from Pakistan. She then decided to give an Emirates plane an “upgrade” by editing a photo of it and adding some crystals, diamonds, and sparkling dusts to it.
Emirates liked Shakeel’s artwork that they even posted the photo on their own social media account.
Presenting the Emirates ‘Bling’ 777,” the caption reads.

The photo caused online buzz and netizens started asking when will the diamond encrusted aircraft start to take off, but the airlines was quick to clarify that the plane in the photo is not real.
“We just posted an art piece made by crystal artist Sara Shakeel. I can confirm it’s not [real],” an Emirates spokesperson told Gulf News.
Shakeel boasts over 437,000 followers on Instagram wherein she posted photos of her artworks which include bedazzled versions of landmarks, food, celebrities, among many others.
